$800k is for the MODEL home. The regular standard Eaglepointe homes are selling in the range of $699k to $750k, with fantastic, and I do mean fantastic views! Big homes, with big lots, with fantastic views! Any realtor would say that these are nice homes. No one lives across the street from you, and no one lives up against your backyard. These homes aren’t like the “packed in like sardines” style homes in 4S Ranch, Carmel Valley, Carlsbad, and other areas.
The lower price point homes are Crestview, still nice homes, at low to mid $500k for 2400 sq. ft. to 3200 sq. ft.
http://www.skyranchliving.com/ – Take a look around to see what I’m talking about as far as price points and square footage.
Yes, they many not be prime area like Del Mar, CV, LJ, etc, nor Tier 1. I’m not claiming Santee is Tier 1, but I do beleive SKY RANCH (looking at the living on a very high mountain) is close to Tier 2. Santee is probably Tier 3 to Tier 4 down in the lower area, depending on the homes and location.
I believe Sky Ranch is slightly better than Chula Vista and San Marcos, outskirt areas that have newer homes, but a long commute to the major metropolitan areas of San Diego. When the 52 opens, Sky Ranch will offer the fastest commute of them all. I can make it to Sorrento Valley in 25 minutes right now, even in traffic, even without the 52 open yet. No joke!
Sure, you can make the arguement that schools are better in RB, CV, etc., yet the schools in Santee aren’t that bad, plus there are many private school options that are VERY good.
I’ve been to all the areas looking at homes for 4+ years before we bought in Sky Ranch, from Chula Vista to San Marcos to Temecula to Rancho Bernardo to Carmel Valley to Del Mar to Carlsbad.
This was over a year ago that we bought, so times were different a year ago than today, yet I still believe, Sky Ranch is a great bang for your buck! Of course, you only appreciate it if you are looking for a great bang for your buck, which we were.
Speaking of Derby Hills, they are having their own issues:
Derby Hill house for $1.45 million, are you kidding me, for “packed in like sardines” mansions! To go to Sage Canyon school?! There are better deals in Santaluz, a much more exclusive community.
Speaking of Carlsbad, I can’t stand the commute from Sorrento Valley to Carlsbad. What a nightmare both ways in the morning and in the evening. And, what about this?
http://www.carlsbadcancerconnection.com/ – This is very sad, and I hope they can get to the bottom of this. Who would have thought, in Carlsbad, of all places.There is no “Shadow Inventory” in Sky Ranch, because it is a new community, and a community all to its own on top of the mountain!
Oh, by the way, did I mention that we have no huge ugly power lines to stare at in our community?
For an analysis of the market in Santee, again I believe Sky Ranch is a higher tier than general Santee, here is the Trulia site:

These homes aren’t like the “packed in like sardines” style homes in 4S Ranch, Carmel Valley, Carlsbad, and other areas.
The lower price point homes are Crestview, still nice homes, at low to mid $500k for 2400 sq. ft. to 3200 sq. ft.
http://www.skyranchliving.com/ – Take a look around to see what I’m talking about as far as price points and square footage.
Yes, they many not be prime area like Del Mar, CV, LJ, etc, nor Tier 1. I’m not claiming Santee is Tier 1, but I do beleive SKY RANCH (looking at the living on a very high mountain) is close to Tier 2. Santee is probably Tier 3 to Tier 4 down in the lower area, depending on the homes and location.
I believe Sky Ranch is slightly better than Chula Vista and San Marcos, outskirt areas that have newer homes, but a long commute to the major metropolitan areas of San Diego. When the 52 opens, Sky Ranch will offer the fastest commute of them all. I can make it to Sorrento Valley in 25 minutes right now, even in traffic, even without the 52 open yet. No joke!
Sure, you can make the arguement that schools are better in RB, CV, etc., yet the schools in Santee aren’t that bad, plus there are many private school options that are VERY good.
I’ve been to all the areas looking at homes for 4+ years before we bought in Sky Ranch, from Chula Vista to San Marcos to Temecula to Rancho Bernardo to Carmel Valley to Del Mar to Carlsbad.
This was over a year ago that we bought, so times were different a year ago than today, yet I still believe, Sky Ranch is a great bang for your buck! Of course, you only appreciate it if you are looking for a great bang for your buck, which we were.
Speaking of Derby Hills, they are having their own issues:
Derby Hill house for $1.45 million, are you kidding me, for “packed in like sardines” mansions! To go to Sage Canyon school?! There are better deals in Santaluz, a much more exclusive community.
Speaking of Carlsbad, I can’t stand the commute from Sorrento Valley to Carlsbad. What a nightmare both ways in the morning and in the evening. And, what about this?
http://www.carlsbadcancerconnection.com/ – This is very sad, and I hope they can get to the bottom of this. Who would have thought, in Carlsbad, of all places.There is no “Shadow Inventory” in Sky Ranch, because it is a new community, and a community all to its own on top of the mountain!
Oh, by the way, did I mention that we have no huge ugly power lines to stare at in our community?
For an analysis of the market in Santee, again I believe Sky Ranch is a higher tier than general Santee, here is the Trulia site:

http://www.trulia.com/home_prices/California/Santee-heat_map/%5B/quote%5DOh, lord. Ok, I give up. Just enjoy your home. I know in time, I’m right. Except, I’m sure you won’t be posting by then when that happens.
BTW: you won’t disagree with me about Derby Hills being expensive/overpriced. But if you do property tax searches and research into who actually buys those homes, you’ll find several of C-level execs at tech companies who arguably can afford those homes. Afterall, it is close to tech center. But I digress. Again, location, location location.
