Didn’t I find 2 4BR SFR for 500k in UC? I didn’t say those are good deals. I just say they do exist. For 500k, I rather get this: http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-100011172-8025_Hagans_Cir_San_Diego_CA_92126. Spend an extra 5 minutes in commute, get much better property. The schools are about the same between the 2 areas.[/quote]

Cmon AN give me a break. When I said good luck finding one, I menat good luck finding one worth buying and living in. The second one comes at a price of about $525K but you probably need cash to buy it and another 75K to make it habitable. Thats not a 500K home its a 600K home plus alot of work in between. Lets keep it real.

Haha, I know what you meant, just playin’ w/ ya. Most of 92122 listings are in 2004 price range, so I don’t see anything in 92122 that’s worth buying. I rather buy in 92121 or 92126 than 92122. I don’t really get why 92122 have held up so well.

This one just sold for $463k

http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-100051839-6064_Erlanger_San_Diego_CA_92122

It’s technically a detached condo – but has a more private backyard than many of the houses in Penant Village because the path that runs behind is fenced off.

(I walk my dog over there several times a week and can’t walk behind this particular house.)

There’s also a twin home that is attached at the garage (so no common wall in the living space.) I don’t see it on the MLS but it’s got a sign out front. That one backs to the canyon and again, no public path behind the house. People fence off around their patio plus some if they want private space. The rest of the grounds are cared for by the HOA. The HOA also gets you a pool, tennis courts, and the lawn care.

But it’s not new construction. Built in 1962. Many of them have a mid-century feel with clearstory windows, etc.

About UC – we’d love to be able to buy there – the commute would be really easy. I don’t even have a problem with the age – IF the house has been remodeled/updated. And if it is one story, 1600 sf COULD be acceptable – depending on the layout and room dimensions – 2 out of 4 bdr should be pretty large, not 10×11. A Master BR of 12×11 for example is not acceptable. And we don’t want to pay HOAs (or MRs) of more than ~$100-200/mo. So we don’t exclude UC, but the chances of seeing something really worth buying there for 500K and good size – without spending extra 50K+ for remodelling are very slim. We keep our eyes open though. It’s just that inventory for what we want is slim.
