Participant[quote=jpinpb]Again, I don’t think La Plage or Winwood have HOAs. If I had a choice, I’d consider those over the ones w/HOAs b/c eventually, hopefully, the Mello Roos will be satisfied or close to it and then you’ll have to MR on the older places, whereas the condos will have HOAs forever, w/likely special assessments down the road. [/quote]
That is a good point, jpinpb. very good. According to that website, indeed La Plage and Windwood don’t have HOAs. Among the two, I’d probably take La Plage being newer and larger, and next to a playground, only IF the particular unit doesn’t back into 56…
[quote=jpinpb]If you want new, though, I think the places along the 56 corridor built during the bubble will be coming down to what the twinhomes are selling for today, which is in the 600-700k or so range now and if I were looking in that area, I’d rather have a new place for that price. Older homes inevitably need maintenance and can get costly.[/quote]
I’ll keep that in mind of course. We like newer, low/no maintenance because we are not handy and don’t have the time/energy to fix up a place much.
Thanks!

Yes, you wouldn’t want to be on the 56 side. It’s tough b/c even backing Carmel Country gets busy as people go to the 56.
I wouldn’t do it for 600k and I’m amazed that Mona Lisa is pending in that range.
Case-Shiller says we’re at 2002 pricing. I think they’re overpaying, but sdr probably thinks they’re moving on w/their life. But if it goes down to 2002 levels, then it should be in the 450k range.
Personally, I’d like to have the extra 150k.

Not in CV, we are not at 2002 level -overall. Maybe 2003-2004.
