ParticipantI could be wrong, but something looks incorrect about that first pic…does the ocean really look that close from SEH or has someone Photoshopped something more enticing than reality?

ParticipantYou should also look at 1489 Glencrest listed for 685k. Same house with different front. The one you are looking at has a nice lot for that development. That house came two ways. The one you are looking at has the super long living room next to the kitchen, the 1489 has a bedroom downstairs at the end of the living room with a bathroom which is nice if you have overnight visitors. Not many sales in Promontory lately, the only one I think was the bank owned on Portside which I think sold for too much unless the bank gave some sweet interest rate or other incentive. I also am interested in that area but think that house will sell for 500-600 before its all over. The one you are looking at sure looks nice inside too. Good Luck.

ParticipantThe ocean only looks like that when it is super clear. It is actually bout 6 miles away but SEH is very high up and they just got notice the Albertsons will be done in the summer but the rest of the town center looks to be lagging till sometime later because of the downturn in the market.

ParticipantWell the one at 1489 was purchase back in late 03 for 675k and the more expensive one on Glencrest was purchased for 595k back in December of 02.
I think that SEH is going to catch a nice chunk down this next year.

ParticipantYou should also look at 1489 Glencrest listed for 685k. Same house with different front. The one you are looking at has a nice lot for that development. That house came two ways. The one you are looking at has the super long living room next to the kitchen, the 1489 has a bedroom downstairs at the end of the living room with a bathroom which is nice if you have overnight visitors. Not many sales in Promontory lately, the only one I think was the bank owned on Portside which I think sold for too much unless the bank gave some sweet interest rate or other incentive. I also am interested in that area but think that house will sell for 500-600 before its all over. The one you are looking at sure looks nice inside too. Good Luck.

ParticipantWhy is the price much cheaper in this community comparing to La Costa Green? The different in price per sqft is $100+ and these two communities are not that far from each other. Are they in the same school district? I am just puzzled by the price.

want a good deal
ParticipantThe first reason is SEH is in San Marcos and that is one reason it is discounted. Second it is farther from the 5 and the ocean which makes a big difference in your commute downtown or proximity to shopping and entertainment. Although now that Twin Oaks goes through to San Marcos it is not as big of a deal. Third, most people have bought in SEH not because of the development but because it is cheaper therefore the owners are weaker financially than those who can afford the coastal zones so expect more foreclosures and fire sales in SEH. This of course is just my opinion and I have no hard facts to back it up. Worse than SEH is Discovery area on the north side of the hills SEH is in. If you want a good deal your best buys are there if you just want a big home cheap. I would buy in La Costa or Encinitas before SEH if I could afford to, as it is I will barely be able to afford a nice home in SEH and only if they go down another 100k or so.

ParticipantI rent in SEH just down the street from this house. I think it is fairly priced for recent comps (Sagewood – $212/sq ft) given that those houses didn’t have this view.
I would wait though. There is a lot of inventory in SEH, REO’s and shorts. This thread should give you an idea:

Since I last posted, 2 of the 3 Leeward houses went pending which was pretty suprising to me. I can’t wait to see what they sold for. Also, this house on Eclipse is has a similar view to your house and is priced pretty close, but has a high MR fee.

ParticipantYes SEH is in the same district as La Costa Greens. Kids there go to the same middle and High School as SEH. I cannot for the life of me figure out why LCG is more expensive. LCG is 5 minutes closer to I-5 and is in Carlsbad which just sounds better. I hate telling people that I live in San Marcos. That is worth something but not $100 sq/ft.

ParticipantI don’t know a ton about the development but do know a few owners in there who are stretched to the limit with their mortgage. The development is still too new and it will see many foreclosures
It is a nice property that your asking about, but I would hold off at that price. I think you could see up to $200k less in a few years

ParticipantA grain of Salt,
This house is a perfect example to me as to why the information provided on this (valuable) board should be taken with a grain of salt.
-prices are falling
-buyers cannot get financed
-the worst is yet to come
-yadda yadda yaddathat is a nice looking property.
If I was in the market for a new house, you would not have a shot at it, as I would have already made a enough of a decent offer to own it.
I feel that if you like the way a house looks and presents iteself, buy it for the best price that you can and enjoy living in it.
Don’t worry too much about what your “dream” house might be worth in 6 months because someone else will have already bought it.
That said, I am still looking to steal a nice oceanfront condo…

ParticipantThat’s a good point above – how many of these will you see that are secluded down a long driveway at the end of a culdesac? If that’s something you really want, make an offer under the low end of the range and see where it goes.
The last survey I did on range pricing showed that the majoirty are selling, on average, for $24,000 under the bottom end of the range.

ParticipantThat’s a good point above – how many of these will you see that are secluded down a long driveway at the end of a culdesac? If that’s something you really want, make an offer under the low end of the range and see where it goes.
The last survey I did on range pricing showed that the majoirty are selling, on average, for $24,000 under the bottom end of the range.

I would rather be lucky then smart
ParticipantA grain of Salt,
This house is a perfect example to me as to why the information provided on this (valuable) board should be taken with a grain of salt.
-prices are falling
-buyers cannot get financed
-the worst is yet to come
-yadda yadda yaddathat is a nice looking property.
If I was in the market for a new house, you would not have a shot at it, as I would have already made a enough of a decent offer to own it.
I feel that if you like the way a house looks and presents iteself, buy it for the best price that you can and enjoy living in it.
Don’t worry too much about what your “dream” house might be worth in 6 months because someone else will have already bought it.
That said, I am still looking to steal a nice oceanfront condo…

want a good deal
ParticipantThe first reason is SEH is in San Marcos and that is one reason it is discounted. Second it is farther from the 5 and the ocean which makes a big difference in your commute downtown or proximity to shopping and entertainment. Although now that Twin Oaks goes through to San Marcos it is not as big of a deal. Third, most people have bought in SEH not because of the development but because it is cheaper therefore the owners are weaker financially than those who can afford the coastal zones so expect more foreclosures and fire sales in SEH. This of course is just my opinion and I have no hard facts to back it up. Worse than SEH is Discovery area on the north side of the hills SEH is in. If you want a good deal your best buys are there if you just want a big home cheap. I would buy in La Costa or Encinitas before SEH if I could afford to, as it is I will barely be able to afford a nice home in SEH and only if they go down another 100k or so.

ParticipantWhy is the price much cheaper in this community comparing to La Costa Green? The different in price per sqft is $100+ and these two communities are not that far from each other. Are they in the same school district? I am just puzzled by the price.
