Yes, landscaping is expensive, but 300K for a SFR.

You could put the equivalent of 25 of your courtyards in for 300K at 12K a pop. Your example had 14 trees, so what does this house have ? 350 trees ?
Like I said … Avocado grove ? (tongue in cheek)

300K for SFR would seem about average or little above that; i know my neighbors in carmel valley spent about 70K(DIY)-250K, with an average of ~l00K or so. But then that include price of a pool, which adds at least ~50K.

Landscaping is indeed expensive. The house I mentioned had hardscape (including a pool, which can cost $100k-$250k) and landscaping that was damaged. When I was considering building up here, the landscaping budget was 30% of the total project budget. It is often not just a matter of planting trees, but moving earth, backfilling, terracing etc. And one of those large Phoenix palms can cost $25k.

bsrsharma,
You may be right but I can’t get over the idea that what you are saying is gambling.

The real advantage I see for Raptor Duck is that he is coming from a higher priced region to a lower and he guarantees that he benefits from this by buying a cheaper house…not a bigger and equally or more expensive one.There is no gamble involved with that, he becomes finacially more secure. As he said though, we all march to a different drummer.

Raptorduck,
I forget if you got the admonition to rent that most would be SD buyers get when they post here. Maybe that could come up again with your new resolution to wait a while? I know you have a big family and all…just food for thought. You could capitalize on selling while the selling is good where you are at, by coming to cheaper market, and by buying after more depreciation.

There was a man who used to post here , in a situation very similiar to yours,family, fairly “well to do” and he did that. He said he is renting a killer house in La Jolla for around 6k. His psuedonym was “Cyphire” if you want to try to find some of his posts.
