Best Family Areas for Low-$1Millions Budget

[Coronita]

[quote=scaredyclassic]The problem is most things just aren’t worth the money. It makes us kind of sad. But they’re not worth it. Crap shacks generally aren’t worth it.

Very few things are worth it:

1. A nice walk. Totally worth it.

2. A good bed. Absolutely worth it.

3. A great bowel movement. Worth it.

4. Exercise. Worth it.

5. An 3lectric toothbrush and floss. Worth the money.

6. My ping-pong table. Very worth it.

7. Nice glass to drink whiskey from. Worth it.

8. One of out 5 cats. Worth it.

9. Mmmm. Costco membership. Worth it I guess.

I can’t think of much else that provides good value.[/quote]

1-4 I agree with. 5-9 I’d rather have a GT4. That’s worth every penny.

Finally, I’m off fasting and off of this stupid machine. Time to go out and run my 3 miles I’ve put off these past 2 days…Stupid medical exam….

Later guys. Nice hanging out here for the past two days.

[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=yuhtey]AN – can i ask you do you walk into a car dealer and offer the MSRP for a car? if not, then you are surely a snob! or better yet, you can’t afford it![/quote]

No. But there’s a limited range of what’s possible.

some go over, some go under.

if some are going under, then why would anyone want to pay at or over? if 3 doors down sells for 1.15 widgets, then why would seller x list for 1.35 widgets? and why would buyer y pay that much for seller x’s house, even though buyer y has budgeted for 1.40 widgets?

we are not talking major price slashing. fair market value has nothing to do with affordability.

flu, you’re main issue is that you are equating CV to a porcshe GT4

I don’t complain the car I want is over priced and bash it because I can’t get it for the price I want. I’m not an entitled millennial.[/quote]

this thread is full of envy and false assumptions.

i’m not a millennial.

Yep, flu is wrong. CV is not GT4. It’s more like a Veyron in price lol.

Your issue is you can’t accept the fact that pricing in Carmel valley for a good home is pretty close to a gt4. Anyway, have fun renting.

If I were you and absolutely had to buy in CV I’d find a house that needs a lot of updating then do the remodel. Contact the listing agent directly and put in strong offer.[/quote]

well i certainly don’t have to buy in CV. but we may end up doing that if it makes good sense. i need a contractor to walk through and do an estimate for the things we would like done. i wonder how much they would charge for that.

but i don’t throw lowballs, i.e. anything greater than 9% off list. i prefer the seller to make the first move to show some sort of understanding of the market conditions. and some will hold out or delist. that’s fine. but there’s always a seller who needs to go and they get motivated real fast if no other offers come through or if a buyer is ready to go with no contingencies.

there has been a runup in sales this year which may be due to interest rate mania, so i’m curious to see how things look after the “big event” next week and beyond.

You sure sound like one even if you’re a gen x-er or boomer. Some people just never grow up.

I stopped taken you and this thread seriously a long time ago. So, take a chill pill. You have nothing that I would be envious of. Stop thinking so highly of yourself.

If ones age is right on border of boomer and gen. X, does one get to choose?

renting has been very good to us, after we sold our last property while we have been gauging neighborhoods. it has provided an excellent window into life in CV without the commitment – and it gives us an edge over other buyers who are contingent on selling their own property prior to closing escrow.

Anyone who brings a Porsche to drag strip out to be shot. Porsche’s aren’t meant for drag strips. If you want to do the fastest quarter mile, get American muscle. Cheap straight line power.
