[scaredyclassic]

Was walking around Morgan Hill while my little one was at his piano lesson and passed a home with a flyer 4 sale.

4000 sq. Ft, asking 545k looks beautiful, fancy custom closets, great schools.

Yeah its temecula. But that’s not a bad deal. It’s awesome here

$137/sqft..lol… Nice house.

How much would something like that rent for. Just curious

[scaredyclassic]

Not sure …maybe get 2200 to 2500/mo?

The area is nice. I could save so much time in yard work.

[quote=flyer]Just a question out of curiosity, and not at all meant to be rude–but with all of the discussion on this thread about Asian households, priorities, saving “face,” etc., I was just wondering what happens in said households if, after all of the planning, sacrifice, etc., etc, the kids end up not measuring up to the familial expectations?

What happens if they can’t get into their chosen college, or land their chosen position, or, you name it–are they ostracized forever?

I think most of us have extremely high aspirations for ourselves and our children, but we also realize things don’t always go as planned, and I hope, for the kids sake, everyone realizes that.[/quote]
If you want a crash course, watch “fresh off the boat” :-D.

Watched it once and enjoyed it, but, even with my limited knowledge based upon the friends and acquaintances we have, it didn’t really seem to ring true. Even the show’s creator had this to say:

The real-life Eddie Huang narrates the first season only. Eleven episodes into the first season, Huang expressed concern over ABC’s approach, saying it presents an “ambiguous, cornstarch story about Asian-Americans” that perpetuates “an artificial representation of Asian American lives.” He also Tweeted in April 2015, “I understand this is a comedy but the great comics speak from pain: Pryor, Rock, Louis…This show had that opportunity but it fails.”

Oh boy, couldn’t sit through even the first episode, cringing the whole time.

Then they had little Eddie go to school with a Chinese flag when he is Taiwanese. Huge political land mine they should have known better about… Yikes.

nobody is going to come back here and post that they just bought a million dollar home at address X. who would be comfortable posting that on the internet?

the drop-off observed is because the potential buyers actually buy something and move on. i’m trying to figure out maybe i will post the area, post-transaction, but nothing more. the cyber-stalking one can accomplish with the APN, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. is staggering – if the property is not under a trust.

So you are a snob… Just just don’t like being out-snobbed…Lol… I think you’ll fit right in carmel valley just fine 🙂

Well gee, I guess that means you’ll be one of the parents that will absolutely want to be by either Ocean Air or Sage Canyon Elementary. Lol…[/quote]

working to get a fair price has nothing to do with snobbery. i am charging that the snobbery is being unwilling to list/sell at a fair price due to CV entitlement.

[quote=flyer]Interesting. Since my wife is in the film business, we’ve considered moving North–primarily to Malibu–but have no interest in any other locations up that way for many, many reasons and prefer RSF. To each his/her own.[/quote]

this reads like you guys are hillary donors. (whole body shivers)

A million dollar home is not that special here in San Diego, or for that matter in socal or nocal, so I don’t quite a understand why you think it’s such a big deal. Especially when rates are so low, job market isn’t that bad. Any two seasoned professional couples with decent jobs and not a lot of outstanding debt elsewhere could manage that, if they chose. Some famailies dont want to do that, because they want to be able to have more financial flexibility elsewhere. And for other families they don’t need to be pretentious and buy that $1.2-1.3million home as a “starter home”, taking out a large mortgage to do it.

Let’s face it, if you are buying house now, your buying while prices are high. Your money isn’t going to go that far for you given your expectations and where you want to be. You can take a chance and rent longer to see when home prices correct, and maybe it will work out for you if you don’t have to wait that long paying someone else rent and wait for the correction. Or you can get more realistic in your expectations.

So now you are a bitter snob because people that are selling don’t need to sell to you at prices you think is fair. So again, the problem here is affordability of what you want given current market conditions. Why should someone be compelled to sell at a lower price if they don’t need to? Anyone would do the same thing.

I think this is just an indicator of how financially strong others are and why re prices aren’t going to plunge in some of these submarkets. Great if you are an existing owner, terrible if you are trying to get in for the first time. Oh well, that’s life.
