    Based on the school data, MMHS is ranked 8, Challenger Middle School is ranked 8, other Elementary schools on the west side of Mira Mesa are ranked 8-9 as well. So, if school is the main factor, I don’t see a night and day difference. Yes, 10 is better than 8-9, but 8-9 w/ parent staying at home and tutoring the kid is probably better than 10 w/ both parents working night and day.

    In regards to crime, the number for Carmel Mountain is:

    0.00, 0.27, 2.53, 24.95. So, based on crime data, Carmel Mt. should be priced similar to MM, correct?

    Nowhere did I compare MM to South Central; those are your words. Of course it’s not, that’s an absurd comparison.

    That however does not dismiss the fact that MM has had a history of gang problems.

    MM is not a bad area, and there are nice communities in it. And as you said, the schools on the Western side do rank higher.

    The simple fact remains, the schools are better in CV. And the school district as a whole is significantly stronger.

    That IMHO will justify higher demand, and a price premium. How much of one; debatable. Throw in newer, nicer, safer neighborhoods and that premium goes up as well.

    Just my .02.

    Yes, CV and such are more desirable, and because of that, it does have a premium, no doubt about it. It always did and it always will. The question is how much. So I think we all agree on the basic premise.

    Carmel Valley mediain only declined 2.9% in 2007. Is 2008 really going to be dramatically different? I just got my rent raised 12% so that may get me off the fence to buy this year. We’ll see how the new conforming loan limits and rates shake out in the next couple of months.
