Participant[quote=SD Realtor]Not sure if you read my post Sunny. The home is scheduled for a trustee sale at the end of March. I am reasonably certain that yes you can purchase this home at trustee sale for that amount unless there are multiple bidders which in this case may happen.
An enterprising individual would find a way to get it done. Perhaps go to a hard money lender then buy it, then finance it after the purchase is done. Personally I have already done a drive by of the home. The backyard is to small for me but for others this may present a good opportunity. What I think will happen is that it will be postponed because the seller will try to mod the loan. That is just a guess but I believe it will run that route.
To get the best deals people should investigate every avenue and all possibilities. [/quote]
Sorry, I missed your post and it makes more sense to me now with the low price.

March 23, 2009 at 1:41 PM #371813Participant[quote=ctr70]I guess if you have kids places like Scripps Ranch, Poway make sense. But I would absolutely HATE it there. Total cookie cutter suburbia personafied. Absolutely no character at all. In San Diego suburbia it’s like they cut & pasted the same stip center from Eastlake to Carmel Valley to all of those new areas. Yuck!!! But people love that crap in places like SoCal, Phoenix, Riverside, Dallas…cookie cutter houses and cookie cutter people.
What can’t we have this awesome mediterannean climate, yet neighborhoods with character, walkability, quaint downtowns??… like Portland, SF, Seattle, Boston, etc??? Why does SoCal and the Sunbelt states (Arizona, Texas, Nevada, Florida) have to be this gigantic sea of stucco colored cookie cutter, nowhereland, no character, McMansion suburbia? YUCK!
Mission Hills is much cooler than Scripps or Poway. I would take a craftsman in Morley Field over Scripps anyday. But yes you would have to send the kids to private schools.[/quote]
It all comes down to safety and affordability. Many people prefer to own a “cool” home but how practical and affordable is it? Most builders offer only a few models in a new development to keep cost down. If you prefer an exclusive design you have to find your own architect and builder. Most families are not able or willing to do that.

Different strokes for different folks. I’ve been to SF many times and I would NEVER live there. I feel claustrophobic there. I want my elbow room and SF does not come close to providing. Not even there $2-3M houses. For $2-3M, I’d expect a custom home on at least 1-2 acre in areas like RSF. But that’s just me.March 23, 2009 at 1:50 PM #372109Participant[quote=ctr70]I guess if you have kids places like Scripps Ranch, Poway make sense. But I would absolutely HATE it there.
