Well since we have hijacked the thread and neither of us likes to not get the last word in I thought I would provide more entertainment for the board…
Good to be talking real estate again. Arguing with you is much more challenging then say some of our more colorful political posters who have turned the site into thier own coloring board…
I did not agree at all with your response
“Scripps is just as expensive as NCC”
Current active stats…
92024 – 115 active listings over 1M
92131 – 18 active listings over 1M
You have heard me say lot size is a priority right? Or maybe not?
92131 – 4 listings over .5 acre
92024 – 56 listings over .5 acre
So while it may be “news” to you I would have to disagree staunchly with the statement about Scripps and NCC being similar with regards to pricing. I think that for 700-800k you will get perhaps the same quality of home in either spot. Also for that same 700-800k I have found that you get a little bit more land and home seperation in Scripps then in NCC.

As far as Olivenhain goes I would agree with the statements about the pricing issues there. I find that there is still a serious degree of hoitty toitty attitudes out there mixed in with substantial denial. Also I do find (and maybe you do or do not disagree) a strong degree of equity out there that will act as a slow burning log with regards to keeping a fire under unrealistic expectations. However you seemed to have confused my rather factual analysis with trying to shill the poster. As you saw my statements were strictly with regards to one spot and I believe there were very accurate regarding that area and the numbers I presented. If you want to call that shilling then so bit. I could have very easily used more vagaries like, “There are plenty of opportunities in Olivenhain and some other even more interesting pockets nearby along the coast. I name a half dozen awesome little niches that would fit what you just described” which in my humble opinion, imply a heck of alot more then just giving helpful information…. but that is just me.
