Marion, it might be better for those of us shopping the market to tell everyone that we hate it here. Ren, if you don’t have to commute, it’s a cool place to live. A lot of people moved here for the reasons you stated, it does have relatively low crime, good schools and decent prices for housing. But I’ve never met anyone commuting more than an hour each way in their own car that is happy, and they chose that lifestyle when gas was $2 a gallon, soon we will never see gas under $4, and cheaper housing closer to their work, so they will be leaving soon. I bought one tank of gas in the last 60 days so I could care less, but to people filling up every two days, as they say at the amusement park “yor ride is slowly coming to a stop.” Don’t buy a rental out here, the population will probably decrease over the next few years and there are already plenty of empty houses in the pipeline. Jobwise, for your wife, if she doesn’t have an easily employable skill, well paying jobs in this valley are becoming more scarce with the thousands of starving R/E related people looking for work. Now if none of that matters because of whatever you do for work, it’s a nice place with some nice prices, but six months from now they will be even nicer, so wait a while or at least until I buy my place, I’ve got dibbs anyway.

March 12, 2008 at 11:06 PM #168691capemanParticipantWhoa! You’re looking to buy in an area with 2-3 billion in fraudulently mortgaged homes looking to hit the lists in your neighboring town. My brother has lost >30% on his townhome in a DR Horton development in the 4 months he has been there and they still haven’t sold out.
Not that I know much about the crime/schools/living in Murrieta/TV but you can’t expect those standards to remain long when school budgets are being cut to hell and neighborhoods are becoming abandoned.
I told my brother to walk away from his deposit in Sept. and I would tell anyone else to stay away for quite a while.
Unfortunately for my brother I was right and to add acid to the wound he is likely losing his teaching job he moved up there for.

March 13, 2008 at 6:14 AM #168479mydogsarelazyParticipantWe have lived in Murrieta for about three years in a development that went up between 2003 and 2004.
On our street — a cul de sac — there have been three repos, and two have them re-sold and are now occupied.
My only complaint is that I find Murrieta/Temecula a bit dull, but keep in mind I grew up on the west side of LA.
The schools are great, there are plenty of restaurants in nearby Temecula, and you can get a newer house with all the features you want for a great price right now.
