Skyranch in Santee

[an]

[quote=kcal09]I think we all agree that location is the most important criteria to value a home in financial terms. For some people Santee works great because it’s convenient and they care less about the reputation. For other people a prime location with good schools is more important. The homes at “Skyranch” have nice floorplans and the prices have come down from 2 years ago. I believe that if you don’t want to resell your house anytime soon and expect a profit you will be okay.[/quote]
The biggest unknown upside about Sky Ranch is how Santee will be in 20-30 years. If Santee grows into a bigger city, the view would be killer. Especially if they start having a lot of high rises and such.

And no doubt that’s the case. I just question all the comparisons to LJ..It’s not LJ…It’s not LJ adjunct.

[quote=AN]I visited SR because of this thread. Just want to check it out to see what’s so great about it. The view is great and so is the lot and spacing of the homes. However, like you said, it’s still Santee. I went a few weeks ago and even the breeze was warm, even for my Mira Mesa Standard.

If that’s the case, the slope land isn’t just unusable, it’s untouchable….Maybe the HOA would be different, but usually IF an HOA is responsible for doing the maintenance of said slope, I seriously doubt the homeowner would be able to alter the usage of the slope in any way, for so many reasons… one being liability. So it’s not really a home that’s situated on a 1 acre lot.
Hey, if I count all the common area slopes adjoining the backyard, my home is on a 1 acre of land too 🙂 Plus I got an ocean view…If you climb out onto the patio deck, and stretch your neck in a contorted way, you can see a small 2 inch sliver of ocean…. The irony to this, is someone agent cold calling said this was an ocean view seriously… I couldn’t help but laugh my ass off.

Anyway, if SkyRanch is under HOA management…Anyone know what the HOA fees are like? $100, $200,$300/month?

Just trying to get a feel for any type of “hidden” costs…

Never mind…I found an example.

WTH???? $342/month for HOA on a SFH????????That’s just crazy… Even derby hills HOA is like $60-80/month

$342/month for the rest of home ownership is almost like borrowing an extra $70k for 30years at 5%…And this is suppose to move folks closer to saving money so they can send their kids to a private school?????

What other hidden costs are there? Utility/sewage/water?
