Highlands Village in Carmel Valley: need advice!

[Coronita]

[quote=lepetitangel]Hi SDrealtor,
Thanks for your advice. We actually looked at a home in Sausalito this past weekend. It’s about 1700+sqft with a tiny yard (the owner put all concret so it didn’t feel like a yard) and it’s asking for ~$650K. I wonder who’s gonna pay that price for it.
I think Sausalito does have a better location than Highlands Village (being close to the elementary school). However, we didn’t like the floorplan cuz the masterbedroom was super small and guest parking is pretty hard (there’s firelane everywhere in the community). The HOA is about $120 and so is the mello-loos. For highland village I won’t get any yard but I’m getting the indoor space of 2000+sqft, and with HOA of $290+$85-mello-loos, I have a common kid play area and amenities, etc.

I guess one of my question is that:
once you have kids, is it really that important to have a yard and be in walking-distance to schools? 🙁 I do prefer a SFH but just cannot afford one. (I don’t think any of them is getting close to $600K).

But again I think my best bet now is just to keep on looking and see what’s available.

One thing though, there doesn’t seem to be too many distressed properties or short-sale in CV (for SFHs). Do you find that true?[/quote]

There was at some point in time in Del Mar Highlands attached communities. There there was a few off them in Monte Claire. There were a couple in Torrey Woods(?) (complex overseeing 5 freeway)…But large sacle distress…not yet….

One other place to look for is possibly Trilogy

Since April and mostly in the last few weeks there have been about 2 dozen properties that got foreclosed on in CV. Most are condos/townhomes. There are a bunch of auctions scheduled and a fair amount of NOD’s hanging out there. While not a flood, it looks like there should be some bank owned inventory on the way for CV attached homes.

In this case, who determines which kids get to enroll and which don’t?
Is it a first-come, first-serve thing? Or is it a lottery system?
Does it have to do with how long you’ve lived in the area?

Ic.
But for bank-owned properties, I would need to go to an auction to bid for these homes am I correct?
I’ve seen lots of short-sale in the Eastern part of CV and 4S…but just not CV.
One thing I wanted to ask too:
Regarding the high speed rail train that’s supposed to connect SD all the way to SF…do you think the location of that will affect home prices in the County? could properties near I-15 raise if the train was built near the 15 freeway? or the other way around?
