$200K price drop on house…what’s going on in Temecula?

[Bunny Meadows]

I really loved this house when I looked at it – it shows like a model – but it’s overpriced at $589K:

According to redfin, they paid $437K in 2003, so are probably in denial over the price…it’s been on the market for nearly 90 days!

What would you offer for the house? Just curious…

There is another house on the same street listed at $519K (133 days), but I think that’s probably too high, too (no upgrades). I think a more realistic price is probably mid-400s.

We just sold our house in Virginia before moving back to CA. We had COMPETING offers within 10 days. The secret? We wanted to unload it so we hired a stager and priced it aggressively. We expected to list it at $470K and when the realtor suggested $430K it was like a kick in the stomach. But, we sold it and it’s done.

I kinda wonder when some of these sellers are going to realize that they simply are not going to get the price they expect.

When you say “class based” do you mean that non-Temecula people think we’re all a bunch of red-neck rubes? One of the things that HAS surprised me about Temecula is that while it is a bit of a “Stucco Jungle” there IS, indeed, a lot of money up here. I’ve seen the “horsey set” tooling around town, and there seem to be a number of $1mil+ homes that are very elegant.

We are very fortunate. My husband found an excellent job with a small aerospace company up here (he’s a retired USAF pilot), and I work from home as a writer. His commute is 10 minutes and mine is 10 seconds.

If I worked in San Diego, I’d probably choose to live in Vista/Shadowridge or South Escondido. It looks like there are aggressively priced homes in those areas right now.

In terms of commuting, it depends on where in San Diego you work. I work in North County which is a haul, but is reasonable (barely). I would not go beyond North County, the 56 would be my absolute limit.

OC, LA – forget about it….

My nickname for Temecula is Rednecula.

One of the things Temecula needs is it’s own Community College, and after the hospital gets built I hope that’s next on the agenda.
