Skyranch in Santee

[bearishgurl]

[quote=Russell]Lakeside,conveniently located near Santee, has a full immersion Spanish program that I have heard is very good.[/quote]

Russell, Rancho Del Rey’s Discovery Elementary School in Chula Vista has a similar program that has been going on at least 12 years and is very good. IMO, this is a great opportunity for kids and I wish I could have gotten my last kid in it but did not have final say in the matter.

Let’s just say we feel we got a decent deal, because prices were marked down from where they were initially, once they figured out the demand and correct price point. In addition, we have a great view! Plus, no one behind us and no one across the street.

I do know prices have continued to go down, even from when we bought. It’s just a sign of the times. We plan to be here for several years, so we aren’t worried if prices drop another 10% or even 20%.

We’re the type that are willing to wait, knowing that 10-20 years from now, these houses will all be in the high $900 or $1 million+ again for Eaglepointe homes once the buildout is complete.

Psychologically, people don’t like to wait for things to happen. They want it all right now. Do you realize that Bel Etage in RB used to be in the mid $800k, now you can’t touch them for less than $1 mill or more. It would be a lot higher if it wasn’t for the RE market crash.

IMO, it’s like making an investment in a company. There is risk in this, yet you take all things into consideration, and based on the future plan, think, I believe demand for this area will go up over time. In general, by increasing demand, prices should go up. Remember Apple, the company, at one time, no one wanted to touch that stock either, but, smart investors, seeing the future plan, took a chance, bought the stock, and today, well, you know the story!

on one hand I applaud your ability to find a residence that encompassed all that you desired, independent of purchase price at that time. But, in the next breath you write of buying the house as an investment you HOPE to make money on.

Both don’t go hand-in-hand.

Not to point a stick or start a philosophical debate, but the more you describe reason(s) for buying the property, the more confused you seem to appear.

BTW, comparing your buying of in Santee now to East Village of 10 years ago, further solidifies your apparent confusion.

And for the record Sharp and Children’s are nowhere near 6 miles away from the Golden Triangle border of the 52/805 intersection. Look at a map, it wont hurt you.[/quote]

Not that it matters, but if you truly want to be(more) specific:

the center point of 52/805 to children’s hospital is roughly 3.7 miles, using latitude/longitude & my calculations. So add to that roughly 1 mile to allow for driving.[/quote]

Dude you are good. I just got back from a drive down to Chula Vista and clocked the distance from the 52 offramp on the 805 to the Genessee off ramp on 163 and it was exactly 3.7 miles.[/quote]

Always appreciate a double check when math is involved.

In my opinion it will take more than just a few years for the home value at Skyranch to go up to $1 million. I would just see it as a home but certainly not an investment at this time.
