Another Temecula Builder folds it’s tent-Morgan hill

[temeculaguy]

tle, if you can get in the 2’s or even low 3’s out there, just do it, the million plus stuff has been taking a beating but horse property is very unique, I have so little experience I can barely give advice other than getting land for tract prices, that is a go in my book.

Patent-Redhawk in general is open to the public as is the golf course, there are a few gated tracts within redhawk but most is open. I have to say, with what you are looking for, bear creek might be a beeter choice, or even canyon lake. Maybe just go to San Diego itself, say carlsbad or something. 400k for 1200-1500 sq ft. is not why you come to temecula, I honestly cant think of anything that fits that bill. Smaller places are often not as nice and old bones usually means large lot out here. This is my favorite weekender house in redhawk http://www.redfin.com/CA/Temecula/45443-Callesito-Altar-92592/home/6253916 and you can walk to the bar.

For a low maintenance, smaller, weekend place, I reccomend this tract of triplexes.

http://www.redfin.com/CA/Temecula/33599-Winston-Way-92592/unit-B/home/12509159

but not that unit, get one that overlooks the creek, all you can hear is frogs, and get one with a driveway, most have a two car driveway and a 2 car garage, the one I linked doesn’t have a driveway. They have a high hoa but a low tax rate so it balances out, they take care of the yardwork and it is within redhawk, will only set you back 200k and will rent easily for 1500 if you go that route ever. Most occupants are 40-60 but there are no rules about age, it just doesn’t appeal to the monster truck crowd. It is also gated.

This one went pending for 177k, but not the best location within the complex.

If you really want to spend 400k cash, buy 2 and rent one out.

The KHOV house @$319,000 has gone pending. The MLS indicated it would be a multiple offer, highest & best situation with offers to be reviewed yesterday, so I would guess there were actually multiple offers and a bid-up. I will try to remember to update and post my Morgan Hill spreadsheet.

PatentGuy – I am happy with Morgan Hill. I live there in a single level house and each McMillan tract has a single level plan: (sq. ft. approximate)

Artessa – 2050 sq. ft.

Cristal – either 2050 or 2450, depending on option to convert 3rd car tandem to bed/bath

Montevina – 2450 or 2650, depending on option to convert 3rd car tandem to bed/bath

Ruffino – 2750?

Blackstone – 3100?

You can still look at the floor plans for Montevina and Ruffino at http://www.mcmillin.com

Additionally, KHOV had a nice 3100 sq. ft. single level plan.

Shea Homes only had large 2 story plans on compact lots.

Ventana has only very large single-level homes of 4500 to 5500 sq. ft. on lots of at least 1/2 acre.

The homes in Morgan Valley are not part of Morgan Hill and do not have access to the common area facilities.

Regarding the gates, I can only say that the best defense is to get to know your neighbors and to get an alarm system. I have relatives in a gated community in Tustin Ranch and I never have to be buzzed in, I just tailgate in after someone. Residents are always going in and out and it’s easy to follow through before the gates close. I believe the only way a gate works as it is intended is if there is a guard, not just a gate.

I perhaps could help you with the realtor recommendation. I’m a broker but I don’t work in the field, I just got the license as an enhancement to the other professional certification I hold and I always represent myself on transactions. I have relatives here that have been in business for 20+ years and really know the area. I sure wouldn’t take it personally if you spoke with them and decided not to work with them, but who knows, perhaps it would be a good fit. If you’d like their name, email me at [email protected]. (fake name everyone)

This is excellent info – much appreciated.

One of the links was to a “bungalow” that just sold in Aug for $150K (did I read that right?) Maybe be a flip of a trustee sale purchase? The 2002 price was $200K – Temecula has been hit hard by the bubble pop.

The asking price for the triplex started out at $220K, was dropped down to $190K, then raised back up to $220K. I don’t get the strategy, but they should not be surprised to see an offer for $170K.

“Rina”, I will email you when I get a chance.
