Pem I haven’t given up on it totally… I am in sort of an appeasement process. My wife is pretty dead set on moving out of state within a year. She has just had it with CA. One thing that is important to her is land…even somewhere with a rural feel to it but not far from driving to town. Poway has alot of that. Sunrise Canyon is a neat little spot with a mix of homes. It is not super high end but has some cool spots and most of the properties in there are horse properties. The one we looked at today was okay but to small… Cool though that the neighbor had goats/roosters/horses… peacocks walking around in the street as well. The kids loved it.
So not really sure where we will end up. Over the past few years the offers I made have been in Scripps and I am very much kicking myself for not following through with the home on Pudregal that we were in escrow with in summer of 08… Have looked in Encinitas as well but again nothing of quality in the price range I am looking at. Some cool spots in Poway but all in the mid 800s and up and I am not in a position to buy into that range right now.
