Yeah, but with all these govt intervention, I don’t see the prices going down though I don’t see them going up either…

If you make $140k and you feel priced out, who the hell else is buying a home as a first-time homebuyer? That’s the only question worth asking. All the other stuff is just confusion.

The govt can only push on a string long enough. The blog link I posted above shows prices are turning down again, in spite of all the stimulus.

Don’t worry. Ask yourself what sounds most likely:

1. Housing prices suddenly start shooting up 10% a year
2. Housing prices stay more or less flat
3. Housing prices begin to weaken again and trend down

If it’s either #2 or #3, this means inflation will be making housing cheaper for you. So keep diligently putting money in the bank – as much as possible – until you feel you can buy a home in a decent area. “Cheapest home in the best area” and all that.

In the meantime, there’s some nice stuff for rent in Scripps Ranch and 4S Ranch, both very nice communities with great schools, for under $3000 a month. If you’re renting at $3k, making $140k, you should be able to save $2k/month if you budget.

For under $2500 you can rent a nice house in Penasquitos – Poway Unified School district – with 4 bdr and yard. There are condos with 3 bdr in Penasquitos that rent for well under $2000 a month (but with just a small patio, and sometimes no garage). Same in Scripps Ranch, though I haven’t looked as extensively.

Don’t feel terrible if you can’t manage to save 2K a month at 140K. Most people won’t be able to. It’s very hard to budget like that with 2 young kids, especially if they are in daycare and go to activities and all that, especially if both of you work. I find it very hard even at larger income than yours and I can manage it only by turning down the retirements savings and college savings. It depends what kind of life you are happy with.

If you want to save money, don’t rent an overly large/nice place. An apt. may be too small with 2 kids, but a 3 bdr condo should do well enough for you and allow you to save more money. If it’s near a park you won’t miss the yard that much.
