Interesting Oceanside price declines.

[Anonymous]

Replying to comments is not making accusations, so maybe you can lighten up too. I am glad you are happy where you live too.

My point is that it great that better homes are being built in Oceanside. Carlsbad tax base has increased greatly because of the large box style homes built that carry with them higher property taxes and assessment taxes, which create better looking cities, as you must know as an appraiser. Oceanside is finally catching up on Commercial and Industrial building too, so it won’t be just a bedroom community, which is a great thing.

No, I do not think the rundown neighborhoods are very attractive, who does. But, as far as your “comment” as to why we moved closer to the 78, it is because of my husband’s long commute to San Diego, which is also another big reason Oceanside is more affordable as you surely understand. I actually like the areas of Oceanside close to the countryside of Bonsall, Vista and Fallbrook.

Have a nice day!

Gun,

We recently left Oceanside for San Antonio. We loved Oceanside. We lived in this community, off Old Grove, call Versailles. It’s small, gated with a pool and small playground and a great community of neighbors. (They have 4th of July parade and followed up by a community wide bbqs, halloween is a blast and several other community events.)

There are only two houses for sale in there now, this one is brand new on the market:

I would not buy now, but there are a couple of rental houses in there. (We rented as we were very clear on our short stay 2 year orders and then gone). Then if you see the price you are more comfortable with, you can pull the trigger.

I definitely encourage you to rent though, there is much more room for downward movement in price in Oceanside.

realestatefan,

You’re only making my point for me – you plainly state that your choice of location had a lot to do with freeway access. You might have considered moving up by the back gate area had the pricing been favorable enough for you to put up with the reduced access and whatever other downsides that may have factored into your decision. It apparently wasn’t, so you obviously took the compromise that best fit your situation. I don’t mean that to sound like a bad thing because it isn’t.

There are areas of O’side that I like better than where I am right now, but I stay because the compromise I have chosen best fits my situation. I’m real close to a freeway junction and access was one of the primary factors in my decision, too. When I moved down here I was still doing a lot of work in Orange and Los Angeles Counties and I needed to commute.

Being snooty has nothing to do with it. I’ve made comments on this board before that if my situation was different I wouldn’t have a problem living in Temecula or Murrieta or Hemet. I am not some wannabe yuppie whose identity is all wrapped in my zipcode and I don’t talk trash about how other people choose to live.

FWIW, I’ve always thought Oceanside was undervalued in comparison to what it offers. I think they’re going to run into some problems later on but there are a number of towns in this region that face the same challenges. Including Carlsbad.

Oh Gee Bugs, Now you are making me feel bad. I’m sorry if I Implied you were snooty. I get your point too, honest!

I understand – the non emotional appraiser – appraisal you give.

And now here is my women’s point of view, men love freeway access. But, I have to admit, being able to get to all of my stores in few minutes is the best! So, I’m glad I compromised with hubby.

Take care.
