Helping Inlaws Buy

Why not have to move to High Country Villas around the corner from you? They can get a 3/2 1 story townhome, play golf for free and walk to your house.

If that’s too old they might like Ocean Hills CC which is the nicest 55+ community in SD County by far. Its very upscale, guard gated and the only community similar to what all their friends move to in FLA. My mother lived there for about 17 years and was very happy there.

thank-you both for your response.

So, regarding renting before selling their home. My mother-in-law is currently living with us (helping with the baby) and father-in-law is back in Ohio. By the time they plan on moving out here my mother-in-law will have already lived here well over a year. Do you think the conventional wisdom about renting a year still stands?

Thanks sdrealtor for your suggestions regarding possible retirement communities. I went on line to check out the Ocean Hills community and it looks great. I couldn’t find any on sdlookup that are for sale, so I’m not sure what the price range is. I did however see some single story detached places for sale not too far from that community. Is this area considered “Vista South” or “oceanside” Regarding the community right next to us in Encinitas, I think most of the units are a bit dated for them but we will keep them in mind.

I know it’s a long way away, but our plan is to help them afford he place, so that eventually my husband and I will have a retirement place ourselves that will be paid off well before the time we’re looking to retire.

It is an Ocenaside zip which was intentionally chosen way back when to part of a stronger city. If you look at a map it is surrounded by Carlsbad and Shadowridge (probably the most generally upscale portion of Vista). Most of the homes are 1 story and even the 2 story models have a master downstairs. Most are attached twin homes but here are asome detached homes. Most were built in the mid 80’s though the detached were built much more recently by Ryland. It is a fabulous community and your parents will always have lots to do and will never feel unsafe. Should one pass away (sorry but it happens eventually) the surviving spouse will have lots of companionship. The place is maintained like Disneyland. As far as adult communities go, there isnt anything in SD County that even approaches this place. I will say that it is not for everyone.

There are always a ton for sale (its a huge community of retired folks so there is natural turnover)but there is alot of insider knowledge to understand what separates the good from the bad. Prices ranges start under 300K for 2/2 1 car about 1000 to 1100 sq ft. The quality places (size, location, view, condition etc.) run between 375 and 425 right now for the twins. There are some primo locations for more but you can get something very nice in that range. The detached homes are starting to drop under 450K now also.

I have clients in escrow right now on 2/2 w/ 2 car and large den/office about 1800 sq ft on a large private lot with a very nice view just under 400K.

If you have questions let me know as I actually lived there for 2 years after my father passed away. As a result of that and visting mom for 17 years I probably know it as well as any one except the local agents that live there that are a real slippery bunch. Becareful with them if you go there.
