    Well since we have hijacked the thread and neither of us likes to not get the last word in I thought I would provide more entertainment for the board…

    Good to be talking real estate again. Arguing with you is much more challenging then say some of our more colorful political posters who have turned the site into thier own coloring board…

    I did not agree at all with your response

    “Scripps is just as expensive as NCC”

    Current active stats…

    92024 – 115 active listings over 1M
    92131 – 18 active listings over 1M

    You have heard me say lot size is a priority right? Or maybe not?

    92131 – 4 listings over .5 acre
    92024 – 56 listings over .5 acre

    So while it may be “news” to you I would have to disagree staunchly with the statement about Scripps and NCC being similar with regards to pricing. I think that for 700-800k you will get perhaps the same quality of home in either spot. Also for that same 700-800k I have found that you get a little bit more land and home seperation in Scripps then in NCC.

    **********

    As far as Olivenhain goes I would agree with the statements about the pricing issues there. I find that there is still a serious degree of hoitty toitty attitudes out there mixed in with substantial denial. Also I do find (and maybe you do or do not disagree) a strong degree of equity out there that will act as a slow burning log with regards to keeping a fire under unrealistic expectations. However you seemed to have confused my rather factual analysis with trying to shill the poster. As you saw my statements were strictly with regards to one spot and I believe there were very accurate regarding that area and the numbers I presented. If you want to call that shilling then so bit. I could have very easily used more vagaries like, “There are plenty of opportunities in Olivenhain and some other even more interesting pockets nearby along the coast. I name a half dozen awesome little niches that would fit what you just described” which in my humble opinion, imply a heck of alot more then just giving helpful information…. but that is just me.

    Just like the good old days eh!

    Just giving you the business my friend for old times sake.

    When I said Scripps is just as expensive as NCC I was referring to the class of home you are looking for which was relevant not the high end areas which exist in Encinitas but not Scripps that are far beyond either of us. With ocean front properties and ranchitas in Olivenhain of course there are alot more $1M properties but thats not what you are looking for is it (wink, wink). However, and you can correct me if I’m wrong, you are looking for 4BR and about 2400 +/- sq ft on 1/4 to 1/3rd acre with no HOA or Mello Roos. There are plenty of homes like that in NCC that would compare favorably with Scripps in every regard including pricing but thats not what you are looking for is it…

    Well played.

    Yeah what you described would be the minimum parameters, especially with lot size. We could dip in home size if the lot size was there. If I were to compare the “That 70s show” stuff in Scripps with all the homes east of El Camino in 92024 I would prefer Scripps with perhaps a few exceptions. I am not a fan of any of the LCV stuff. I have a few people who do really like that area but it doesn’t do it for me. Not a huge fan of homes off of Olivenhain (off of Barcelona either)… Some possibilities intrigue me in Olde Carlsbad, kind of an interesting spot but damn far away. We dream shop more though in the Lone Jack area then anywhere else. No chances in hell of pricing getting to my range unless I wait until 2011 or am a part of Esmiths IPO. To bad… still fun to look though. I would have to say that the inventory in Scripps is about as poor as I have seen it in a long time. Also didn’t mention but there are some parts of Poway we are considering simply because they offer some pretty nice sized lots and there are some cool areas. I also view those spots as much more apt to come down in a quicker timeframe to NCC.

    Keep your eyes in 92009 off Levante. No HOA’s, some interesting custom homes, long time owners that may become lifecycle sellers at market prices, lots of quiet cul-de-sacs and some huge lots. Also the school is great but not as big, overwhelming or crowded as ECC or OPE.
