My good friend just went into escrow on one of the smaller ones at about $200/ft. Seems like a good deal to me for the area and wanted to get the Pigg consensus.

Thoughts?

If you’re talking safety of investment, a detached home is better than a condo, historically speaking. I would be a little worried about the features listed on the website:

[quote]Reasons to Buy a Condo in La Costa
– Southern CA climate and lifestyle
– Brand new luxury condos never lived in
– Top of the line appliances and fixtures
– Beautiful natural stone counter tops, natural wood and travertine floors throughout and unique to each home
– Centrally located by the La Costa Golf resort[/quote]

In other words, “reasons to buy our spec build” amount to paying for fancy upgrades and a snazzy lifestyle.

It could still be a good deal – I know nothing about the area. I would personally never buy a condo as they are very risky as investments, historically speaking.

In terms of preference, I would actually prefer NOT to live close to/or in a golf resort (again, this is personal preference). Same goes for avoiding homes with pools, club houses, etc…

Agree with the comment above on condos as permabear above.

Funny thing with a lot of the ads is that all those things are standard in most any new development from here to Santee. 🙂
