Point Loma reducing a little

[SD Realtor]

This is an interesting thread. A few comments I would like to add. First off the Mills Act is very cool, my brother bought a place near Balboa Park and the block that he is on has been going through the process of qualification. They are near completion but it has been a long process that started well before he bought the home.

San Diego never ceases to amaze me in terms of the diversity of the population. The amount of money in in the County is staggering, in terms of old money and new money. I think the compression (squish down) mentioned in MH and PL will indeed happen over time. I am toying with the notion that these areas may depreciate a bit quicker over time then other areas that are NOT LIKE them but offer better schools. I think that the demand for the young family looking for good schools far outweighs the professionals looking for an older nice home with a nice place to garden. No disrespect JP or any others. Thus I think that supply in places like MH or PL will linger longer.

I think that the supply of young people writing code for a Sorrento Valley company, while not inexhaustible, is much stronger and will continue to support the desired school districts.

SDR, what about High Tech High and Point Loma High? MH students have the choice of SD High or Mission Bay High, or can even choice into High Tech High. There’s nothing wrong with these schools. When I was looking at different API scores a few days ago, I noticed the demographics of “coveted” Torrey Pines High (which CV feeds into) is OVERWHELMINGLY ASIAN. “Whites” and Hispanics” did not do as well on their API tests in that school or near as well as they did in other county schools. Some of these better-performing schools for Whites and Hispanics were NOT on Piggs’ “preferred list.” The Hispanic scores were DREADFUL at TPHS. If your child is NOT Asian, what’s the draw of TPHS? This leads me to believe that the teachers as TPHS cater to and teach to the Asian population, specifically.

This endless “supply of young people writing code” would be a more volatile group of homeowners (some w/families), I would think, than gay couples, retired boomers, senior citizens and DINKS. A few years back and likely a few years hence, their best opportunities did/could lie in another locale, i.e. Silicon Valley, NC, Denver, Seattle, etc.

These young high-tech employees are mostly entirely dependent on W-2 income, due to age. This does not lend itself well to stability in any one place. These firms tend to hire and lay off with the tides and how well their stock is doing at the moment.

If these young people were all classified civil servants, this would be another story.

No offense to any Piggs, but I would prefer to live in a stable area where the majority of homeowners aren’t 1-6 paychecks away (not counting retirement accts) from foreclosure, due to high HOA, MR, child expenses, gas exp etc. And UI is only 62.5% of gross pay. My preference has nothing to do with avg property value and everything to do with how many surrounding homeowners can live indefinitely in their homes even if they don’t “work.”

I guess I’m deathly afraid of being the “last one standing” in one of CA’s future “ghost towns,” as was discussed on a recent thread :={

SDR, I disagree here in that I don’t see CA’s most established and finest coastal communities losing future value faster than newer outlying tracts which attract families. I agree that inventory in these established areas may linger longer due to inability of many potential buyers to qualify to purchase the more expensive “rehabbed versions” that are currently being marketed today.

Young “families” in and of themselves are currently the most volatile type of homeowner nationwide. It is precisely in these areas that attracted young families and first-timers that the vast majority of distressed property lie.

The high school choices in MH are subpar perhaps but K-8 is pretty good now that Grant has a middle school. Also, the schools in the urban areas have always been weaker and yet demand for good houses still seems decent.

If you think about it, north Mission Hills probably has fewer residences than just one of those monster tract home developments out in Rancho Bernardo on the seemingly endless supply of land. When I drive out east anymore I think I am visiting a lunar landscape with a dense bunch of strange alien looking structures attached to it. There are some exceptions like certain parts of Poway and Mt. Helix. These are very nice areas and Poway certainly has the great schools.

However, once the coast dropped down to our price range it was really a no brainer. Frankly, me and my wife didn’t go to the best schools when we were kids and we turned out fine. We spend a tremendous amount of time teaching our kid ourselves anyway.

I remember the day we first toured our new MH house (we were also touring a few houses in Poway) … it was 104 degrees in Poway and 85 degrees in MH with a steady cool ocean breeze. We were like “wow” now this is what we like about San Diego. Case closed.

I think the overall scarcity of the real estate in addition to the desirability of the location will somewhat temper the lousy school districts of the prime urban areas. In the end, many people with money will opt for private schools anyway and obviously there are many great ones to choose from in the area.

With regards to those writing code for a living and depending on W2 income, I can say that with 100% certainty that 0% of them have ever asked me to look at homes in MH or PL. Furthermore none of them have even asked me to put those areas in for a home search. They did not care about High Tech High school as well. They wanted a neighborhood that had alot of kids, that had a good school district and they were much more focussed on starting a family or growing an existing young family.

I am not sure if there is even a single Pigg poster or lurker with young children who has ever chimed in about wanting to raise the kids in Mission Hills or even 92103 for that matter. Maybe not so much for Point Loma but really, parse through the archives and you guys tell me how many posters you see making queries about raising kids in Mission Hills and Point Loma.

Please don’t get me wrong, these are beautiful places to live. However the demand for these places is much smaller then the demand for what the average engineer and his wife want.

One thing that I have found to be common with most my clients regardless of profession, race, or religion is that those with kids all wanted to be in the same spots. Again, CV, PQ, Scripps, Encinitas, 4S, some UC and Clairmont as well. None ever mentioned MH or PL. I am not saying that there are not exceptions to the rule. Bearish and Pem if you deal with young families every day and are trying to find them homes to live then you can chime in and let me know of how many of them are looking to raise thier families in MH or PL.

I know you guys all may have some exceptions to the rule, but based on my own experience of people I work with who have bought and who are looking they are exceptions and not anything more then that.
