I am under contract and Moving to Vista???!!!

[temeculaguy]

Parts of vista are fine, if you are in shadowridge you’ll like it, north of the 78 it’s hit and miss but if you like the price, the neighbors and can afford it, why worry? If you don’t have to live in Carlsbad or Encinitas, then it makes sense to look elsewhere where prices have come down considerably. The whole thing is about finding something you can comfortably afford and be happy with, sounds like you did it.

Ultimately this will cause Bug’s butterfly effect to come true. If places ten miles away drop in price significantly and shoppers looking at carlsbad or encinitas will look a town or two away, then ultimately it will put downward pressure on the towns they fled, if this keeps up, CAR and JP will get the price they want and then everyone will be happy.

[quote=treehugger]Well we went back this afternoon and took the dog for a walk around the neighborhood. It has such a nice feel, the neighbors houses are all immaculate, and we had people smile and wave at us, even a cute neighbor dog walked with us for awhile before his family came running and yelling for him….tells me they care.

My dog loved the place and he says I should buy it for him. I can’t afford Carlsbad and probably never will.

Looking at the comps I think that the bank had it priced right, I just couldn’t afford that price and so I offered less. Maybe it was the e-mail that I sent to the listing agent (same agent I had ALMOST gotten another house with, she even called my realtor and told her we got it, but then we didn’t), asking her to help us find a house that would fit 2 adults, 2 part-time kids, 2 cats (not my choice), and 1 crazy weimaraner, and hopefully a yard big enough to get a second. Maybe that helped??[/quote]

Woo-hoo!!! 🙂

Sounds like you found a nice place for what sounds like a great price. Follow what JP said above, and if you can easily afford it, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! 🙂

It sounds like a great place. Please let us know how things go after the move.

Ultimately this will cause Bug’s butterfly effect to come true. If places ten miles away drop in price significantly and shoppers looking at carlsbad or encinitas will look a town or two away, then ultimately it will put downward pressure on the towns they fled, if this keeps up, CAR and JP will get the price they want and then everyone will be happy.[/quote]

We’re still checking out Vista and Escondido (as we prefer the lots, houses, and country feel of those areas). We just have to get it at a big enough discount to justify the additional commute.

Without a doubt, Vista and Escondido have some very nice houses and neighborhoods. Right now, though, those houses are priced similar to coastal houses (but they do have nicer lots, in general). We can’t justify a purchase like that.

Believe it or not, even though prices are holding up (and going up) in some areas, they are pretty soft in our ‘hood. We’re making offers, but have yet to get one accepted.
