Buying advice in North County

[quote=sdrealtor]pj
There you can meet all your overleveraged neighbors and watch them lose their homes one at a time.

Here you will find predominantly well-educated, fiscally conservative and highly successful folks living well within their means. [/quote]

Some of us well-educated renters waited on the sidelines and those of us that did are purchasing the homes of the over-leveraged neighbors that lost them.

That does really strike a nerve sdrealtor and I will share your sentiments with my wife. Another neighbor shared his thoughts on how he’s seen our community go in waves and that we are do for another one soon. We just so happen to have one neighbor who doesn’t wave back at us and another across the street that likes to advertise they’d rather be living in Berkeley.

I think you have us pegged pretty well…educated, conservative, understated. ;-). My wife works in her family business in Encinitas and will have a lot of part time/work at home flexibility and for that we are very blessed :-). Being closer to her office once we have kids is certainly a plus though.

We are going to be very careful in any decision we make…my wife’s parents are just a couple miles away and I think they have the same concerns you shared (although I like to think they just want to keep us as close to them as possible) ;-).

Again, I really appreciate your time in responding…I will drive by ECC…I do love the “Character Counts” segments on talk radio!

Having grandparents that are able to pitch in and watch the kids every once in a while is also a HUGE benefit you should not overlook. My next door neighbor grew up in Encinitas and works in her family business also. She was very part time the last few years and is now getting back to close to full time. Her parents have lived in the same house near Crest Drive for about 40 years. They have two little girls (2 and 4) and go out every friday nite while Grandma and Grandpa watch the kids. I watch in envy as they are about to arrive any minute.

You cant control your immediate neighbors and are just as likely to land a couple of whacko’s where ever you land. The extended area around your home is far more important and more under your control.

It’s my pleasure and if you would ever like to meet and talk in person it would be my pleasure. Not to solicit your business but rather to share with you why you should stay and be noone’s business. Also bare in mind that selling your current home, buying a new one and moving will likely cost you about $50,000 after all is said and done. Thats alot of money…..

I agree those areas will stabilize over time but we both know any area built in the last five years will see carnage for many years to come. They live in an area where that is far less of an issue and IMO would destabilize their social lives by moving to a bubble era community.

I suspect if you could have gotten a comparable property in this area at a SEH price you would jump in a NY minute.
