“Many California homeowners, including some with $2 million homes, are simply making their minimum payment, waiting for the recast. Then they plan to walk away, even if it damages their credit, Bedard said.” A lot of people are just walking,” Bedard said. “It’s just a business decision; they don’t have a lot of skin in the game.” But for many others it will be devastating.June 10, 2008 at 7:30 AM #220899Participant“THE NEXT REAL ESTATE CRISIS”

Collins elementary 967 Asian, 925 whiteWould Monta Vista High be a more valid comparison (it’s the “better” high school of Cupertino)? It’s a rare case of a high school with an overall API of 900 or higher. My alma mater, Campolindo High, up in Moraga, is another rare example at 908 =).

866 WhiteStill, I don’t think Cupertino’s schools are too much better. I’m sure the quality of education is stellar at all of these schools. The majority of high schools in California are well under 800, or even 700, sadly. Although I’ve heard that the “after-school programs” are more interesting in Westview or Rancho Bernardo high schools, despite their slightly lower API scores.

June 10, 2008 at 10:58 AM #220845GuestI generally like clean, funky neighborhoods with character/personality, or places with walkable downtowns that have lots of restaurants and cafes that are close to employment centers (if you are familiar with Bay Area, think Oakland’s Rockridge or Castro St. in Mtn. View, among many others). However, if places like those above are not available, places like Carmel Valley are a close second — quiet, close to places like La Jolla/Del Mar, very close to employment centers, lots of walking/biking trails. The place I rent, I can walk to the plaza (on the corner of Carmel Creek and Valley Center). Granted, it’s a strip mall, but has grocery stores and some great restaurants. Those reasons, along with the many mentioned before me, is probably what makes it so desireable. I’m not saying prices won’t come down; I’m sure they will later but probably much more slowly than many hope.
By the way, how are condos/townhomes in this area doing?
