Mira Mesa, New Salem and Penridge comparison

[an]

Sorry, Jimmy. These 2 houses should be in the low-200 to mid-200 range. They are way overpriced. If you build it (savings), it(nicer house) will come.

Wow, low to mid 200k? Really? @ 6% and 0% down,low to mid 200k will yield 1200-1500/month mortgage fully amortized. That’s before any tax break. The rent for this place should be around 1700-1800/month. You can’t even rent a 2bed/2bath apartment in MM for 1200, they go for around 1300-1500/month on this side of MM.

Even at the bottom of the last cycle, older & smaller home in south west MM was about $200/month more, after 10% down, than the rent of 2 bed/2 bath apartment in Summerset. So, although I’d love to see it go down to low 200k, I highly doubt it’ll happen unless rent collapse as well.

nostradamus, thanks for the recommendation. I love steaks and definitely will try this place out. In regarding to Pho, (it’s Pho Hoa Cali, btw), I prefer Pho Ca Dao better. It’s on the corner of Camino Ruiz and MM Blvd. They tend to have less MSG in their food. One way to tell if they have a lot or not is how thirsty you are after you eat. The more thirsty = the more MSG.

…I don’t see any problem with people of any means looking at MM. Other people choose CV due to schools etc. but some might also argue (and someone did) that MMHS is actually ranked very high.

Is anyone else a bit unnerved by the sex offender map of Mira Mesa? Actually, that’s a good question for you realtor types out there: does that map affect housing values at all? We have migrated to looking at Penasquitos as a compromise between a decent, hard-working class neighborhood and a crazy, no- back-yard super-polished “community” like 4S ranch. To some extent that is due to me being skittish after seeing the offender web site (having a young daughter in the house).

SD Realtor,

Actually I like the Penridge better too. However, my wife, likes the newer New Salem home. We haven’t pay much attention to the traffic and noise in the New Salem area because a few times I were there it wasn’t that crowded or noisy. But now you guys mention it I think it could get rowdy with people going to the park on the weekend.

Right now we have no idea where we will buy. If we buy in MM, hopefully a house similar to Penridge will cost around $350K which makes the payments very affordable. We could survive with my salary alone. On the other hand, if we choose an area with nicer schools and max out we probably could buy in CV in 2009 for around ~550K.
