Santa Fe Trails – Getting Close

[zzz]

Thanks pemeliza and sdr, very helpful to get some specifics. I think its easy to look at price and well staged homes, but not so easy to evaluate the other details, such as construction, schools covering the entire age specturm, neighborhood upkeep/culture unless you have context based on history or experience. I’m really not familiar with the nuances of North County, schools, construction, etc so this is all great information. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’m really that familiar with any neighborhood when you break it down by community within the same zip code or when you go 5-10 miles in any direction of a given spot. I’ve been very “casually” evaluating the market for some time now and the devil is always in the details.

I agree with your assessment of $625k for homes like that in that area. I think $625k is pretty fairly priced. Based on the total cost of ownership vs 4S, at this price level, that should put 4S houses around mid 500k based on the higher MR. The only way I can see it get much lower than those price point is to have sky high rates.

BTW, 4 elementary schools on the north side of Mira Mesa Blvd. also fall into the same API score range as well. So, Sandburg is not the exception. Also, Wangenheim Middle School’s API score is about the same as Challenger Middle School. Those are the only 2 Middle schools in MM.

I agree 930 score is definitely up there. Since we’re just debating about semantic, I’ll concede and say 930 is crème of the crop #.

Which area of PQ are you referring to? Personally, I think it makes a big difference between West of Black Mountain and East of Black Mountain. A 3/2 SFR ~1400 sq-ft in the best part of PQ, I’d expect it to be around 400-450k this Winter. I could be wrong, but I think they’re in 450-490k right now.

Huge differences… PQ is much more diverse then people think. I kind of classify it as a few distinct areas. Oldest PQ on the east side near the golf course. Then there are the homes up on the hill above the Albertsons. There is Park Village down on the other side of the 56. There is the Black Mountain Vistas which is north of 56 but south of Black Mountain Road…. then there are the homes on the west face of Black Mountain as well. Oh yeah and the homes on the far south boundary on the hill (Babauta).

Very non trivial differences in the quality of the neighborhoods.

SD Realtor, I totally agree. There’s a huge difference between those areas. However, I don’t think the nicer areas of PQ have 1400 sq-ft 3/2 SFR. They’re usually 1600+ sq-ft and most of them are 2000+ sq-ft.
