Any thoughts on South Carlsbad

[rpn]

Greetings everbody I am new to this sight and love the info my wife and I have been reading so far. We have been looking for over one year now in the following areas:La Costa Valley, Arroy Vista, Aviara, Sonata,Summerwalk and La Costa Greens. And we have to say we saved at least 100 grand by waiting and narrowed our areas to live in.

This is our analysis. When it comes to neighborhoods you can not top Aviara. The area feels secluded and resort like. When it comes to the design of homes, we think Viridian at the Greens, Arroy Vista and parts of La Costa Valley are good. We had an offer in Viridian but pulled out since we are affraid of them not completing the project. Only 30 out of 91 homes have been built. We also had an offer in Cantamar, but as we know this is not Aviara-and the area is still an open book.
We are willing to pay a premimu for the name, call us snobs but we feel Aviara is top notch (Pavona, Cantana, Mar Fiore, Marea).

We have around $850,000-900,000 to spend on a home and feel overall Aviara is the best choice-we do not have to worry about new developments, high mella roos/hoa,etc….and the schools are good.

Let me know if anyone has any input from living in these areas and any thoughts of a new development like Viridian.

Cheers,

RPN

What ever you do, don’t buy anything yet. The bust hasn’t even really touched the higher priced homes yet. So far the subprime loan resets have decreased home prices in lower and mid range homes up to 60%, but next year the higher tier alt A and prime exotic loans are due to reset. In a few months you’ll see some real downward price movement in the higher range houses that you’re looking at.

Long time poster and you are looking in my back yard. Feel free to post questions and I’ll do my best to answer them.

FWIW, I dont beleive you will much or any downward price movement in a few months. You will have to wait until next Fall for that.

I have been looking in these areas for a year and a half – in the same price range as you. My target is actually $750K by end of next year.

La Costa Greens – San Marcos school district other than that little pocket north of Poinsettia. I would rather live in SEH.

Other areas you should consider are Mariner’s Point, The Bay Collection (poised for a beat down soon), and Santa Fe Trails.

I agree with your 100K comment but I look at it a different way. My range hasn’t changed but the quality of house/hood I get for that has improved significantly. I used to pray for SEH at $700 – now I see Aviara, LCV, or SFT easily there in the next 12 months.
