Scripps Ranch…What say you…

[localguy]

I will agree with other posters that Scripps Ranch is a nice family neighborhood. I believe this tends to prop up the prices. Regarding Stonebridge, as I have posted before, there is a wide variety of pricing. We bought in SB, April 09 and really like it. We won’t talk about the squatters next door! To me the pricing seems really out of wack. So many homes are seriously overpriced, yet people will buy the home. So there is a demand that the seller/developer is filling. In my little nook there is a house for sale, 1.2 mil. No activity. Drop the price to $895,000.00 and you would probably see a frenzy of activity bidding the price up. I guess as a seller or buyer you need to be agressive and willing to invest some time to make your deal happen.

If you count the HUGE countertop as the breakfast area, then there is. I am talking about the particular one priced at 890K.

[quote=SD Realtor]It is tough for me because I have a slight anti stonebridge bias built in… Don’t get me wrong I like it, and for me personally I think you get more home/land in Stonebridge then 4S but it is a tough commute in and out of…not convenient for getting groceries or basically anything. Also it is a bit lunar for me…. needs time for the trees to grow and become more lush if that is possible out there. To me it kind of sits and bakes in the sun.

I don’t mean to bash Stonebridge because as I read it, it sounds like I am but I am not. I know alot of people living there and I dont think one person I know there doesn’t really enjoy it. So I do think it will go down as more economic distress rolls out but I think it will happen slowly. The new home sales are moving pretty well there as well and I think as things slow down the builders will be forced to give some concessions as sales slow. A few posters did well in 2008 when things really crapped out up there.[/quote]

I think you are quite objective in your postings. Stonebridge has some nice homes but the surroundings are actually quite ugly with a lot of powerlines, ugly views from some lots, difficult access and lack of shopping. I think a small shopping area within Stonebridge would make this neighborhood more attractive.

without knowing all of the specifics. I have to assume localguy’s neighbor is practicing “need based pricing” rather than “market pricing.” with CityVenture’s homes closing in the high 700k/low 800k recently, how in the world does anyone expect someone to want to pay a $300/400k mark up on a resale?
