[quote=SD Realtor]Of all of the young families I have helped find homes for in Carmel Valley, or 4S or PQ or Sabre Springs, or RB or wherever, if I would have pushed something more urban that was not filled with kids, they would have probably dropped me as their agent.[/quote]
SDR, the last time I acted as a buyer’s agent for young families was probably about 1993. The families I worked with wanted properties within close proximity of other established relatives (read: their old “stomping grounds”).
Perhaps the young-parent generation of today is a LOT more kid-indulgent or kid-oriented than the young parent of yesteryear. Not sure how long API scores have been in existence but I did not really look at them until I started reading this blog in Spring 2010. In my young-parent days, parents bought what they could afford and what was convenient for them and the kids went along with the program.
