Skyranch in Santee

[sdcellar]

I think some people think SkyRanchOwner might just be a salesperson posing as a homeowner. Otherwise, I doubt you’d have quite as much Santee bashing going on. If SRO isn’t a salesperson, then they are curiously enthusiastic and surprisingly motivated to keep regaling everyone with facts, links and new listing information. Heck, if SRO isn’t one, he/she does a much better job than most.

There’s a PDF file that has even more details.

I noticed 3 things in particular:

1. As a region, East County is 2nd only to North County Costal in property value increases, 10% higher than North County Inland.

2. Per zip code, Santee is 3rd only to Downtown and Rancho Bernardo East in the most homes sold in May.

3. Santee’s median home price in May is roughly comparable to Mira Mesa, San Marcos and Chula Vista, higher than the average of Oceansides; all areas traditionally perceived as more desirable place to live.

I’m not here to sell people on Santee or my community, I’m just saying that while the old perceptions certainly die hard, more and more home buyers are now seeing Santee in different lights (whereas in the past it may have been overlooked by many simply due to old perceptions) and realizing the benefits/amenities that this town has to offer.

I’ve met many new neighbors who told me that they never thought they’d buy in Santee. Just like most of us (myself included), they started their house-hunting in North County Inland (SEH, 4S, Del Sur, etc.) but eventually realized that Santee is just as nice and the dollar stretches further here.

Again, the use of generalized numbers as affirmation of such a personalized and specific decision–primary home residence–is entirely your choice.

YOUR $ stretching further by living there is not a blanket statement. It’s a sales pitch as a blanket statement.

People who have posted as having moved to Santee within the past couple years, and are happy, kudos.

An extended family member just purchased in Santee. It’s not a new build house, but it was affordable. He’s thrilled.

He did not pick Santee as his first choice… but due to budget requirements and commute time requirements, Santee was the winner.

I’m sure he’ll be happy. But if a comparable house had been available, for the same price, in Mira Mesa or Clairemont, that’s where he would have bought. This was a point of discussion during the decision making process.
