Participant[quote=flu][quote=deadzone]What’s so great about Napa? Boring….[/quote]
Well then, you can head on south then to Laguna Seca if that’s your thing. Plenty of things to do there within driving distance.
Personally, I like the tranquility in Napa… And if home prices tank further, might be my ideal place to relax and retire.
Winter time is fun time because Tahoe is just 3.5 hrs away from SF. Here, that gets us to Big Bear (roughly) which blows.
Summertime is great in Tahoe…Also, if you head on over to Merced, you can do some decent white water rafting.
Plenty of things to do if you make time.
I guess Vegas is closer from here, and going to Reno isn’t the same thing. But gambling is gambling in my book.[/quote]
FLU: I’ve got 2 acres in St. Helena that I plan on building on somewhere in the near future. I love Napa, Sonoma and parts north (Amador and Mendocino).
Just anecdotally, there is a ton of land hitting the market throughout wine country and in large parcels and lots (20+ac). I’ve seen prices as low as $15k per acre for some listings.
I grew up in the SF/Bay Area and it will always be home to me, but I agree wholeheartedly about San Jose, especially the area near SJSU. Yikes.
Housing prices are starting to slip up there in The Fortress (Sta Clara county, specifically Santa Clara, Mtn View, Coop and Sunnyvale) and it’s expected to get worse. A long time friend of mine works for Intel at their Sta Clara campus and he says the downward trend is accelerating, especially as the layoffs intensify. He said that when you start seeing layoffs at Google (and they have), watch out.

CoronitaParticipant[quote=deadzone]Well if you’re intested in skiing, gambling and white water rafting you might as well live in Reno area. Homes are much cheaper than Napa will ever be. [/quote]

I beleive year 2000 pricing for the high end throughout SD County is still in the bag…isnt it?[/quote]In the areas I look at: Carmel Valley, 92129, 92127, Encinitas, etc we are still at 2004 pricing.
