Christmas Lane neighborhood (PQ)

[MANmom]

$290 psf. is a bit high, and the main street for x-mas card lane is Oviedo, but that is probably the second most traveled street there during Christmas. Very quiet area, though and centrally located, pretty much walking distance to all schools.

If you do place an offer on that house, be sure to include the current owner’s Christmas decorations as part of the deal. Some of those homes on Oviedo and Effingham have very elaborate Christmas arrangements. That’s the reason you see lots of cars and trucks parked on the street. They use their garages for Christmas storage.

That house is definitely right in the heart of Christmas card lane. I rented a house near the corner of Ellingham and Twin Trails Dr. for two years. We absolutely loved Christmas time there. It’s only about two weeks each year of intense festivities. We would just walk around the neighborhood each evening and take it all in (bands playing, horse drawn carriages, chorus singing) or sit in our driveway and watch everything. Unless you really, really hate xmas, there is no downside. I have since moved back to Seattle and each Christmas my wife and I definitely miss the holidays on Christmas card lane. And yes, if you buy the house please make sure that the owners leave the decorations. That house should have a large wood cutout that goes in the front yard.

I’m in the same boat as MANom. $290 psf is a bit high. If you have young children who are going to BMMS and MCHS, it will be convenient for them to walk home from great schools. This benefit can only be realized if you plan on living in the home for many(5+) years.

It’s not a good time to by property in San Diego right now. In general, there are too few properties on the market with too many people looking to buy – as evidenced by house prices rising this summer. The 8k tax credit is motivating many people, but shouldn’t be the deciding factor for a house that’s listing for ~540K. A few great deals pop up here and there, this listing is not one of them.

IMHO, it’s best to wait until the effects of government intervention on the housing market subside. This advice is contingent upon rates staying low for at least the next year.
