Wow, lots of North County-centric thinking around here.
Lots of misplaced snobbery, too. Not everyone is looking for a 3,500sf 4/4 in West Stepford.
My wife and I bought for under $250k a few months ago in the Fletcher Hills area. Yes, we’ve had to do some work on the place, and no, I haven’t felt the need to stock up on ammo or body bags.
I know what you’re thinking, my dear upscale piggies, but it’s not a matter of envying what I cannot afford.
So, to the OP: if you obsessively watch the market and can make a strong offer the second something pops up, you have a good chance of buying a decent house in a decent neighborhood for less than $250k.
