[quote=thejard]I have a hard time justifying some of the prices in Chula (west 91910, 91911) that I see they are going for compared to just a year ago. Maybe we missed the boat?
In fact, we took our savings and plunked it into debt. But, because I really want to own I keep obsessing about this!
I just feel very deflated when it comes to me trying to get into something. Is it different this time? Or will there be a dip sometime in the next 5 years?
Spending that kind of money on something terrifies me lol; I’ve been driving the same car for 14 years now, so spending more than a $1k on a single thing scares me![/quote]
thejard, I’ll look at your links in a bit but I just want to remind you that 91910 and 91911 are “coastal” (bayfront). Chula’s more recently annexed-in zip codes of 91913, 91914 and 91915 are “inland” and thus up to 10 degrees hotter or colder at all times of day, depending on season. Temperature alone is a BIG ENOUGH DIFFERENCE to affect the pricing in the well-established areas of Chula Vista as you are seeing. And, for the most part, there is little to zero HOA dues in SFR subdivisions within these zip codes and no MR (except for Sunbow and parts of RDR, in which the lower-priced bonds may be already or nearly paid off).
Oh, and btw, thejard, my vehicle is 21 years old and I just got back from another 2500-mile (RT) road trip with it and it ran like a top, even at elevations exceeding 10K feet!
