[quote=ocrenter][quote=sdrealtor]You are onto something. Boarded up shacks in Detroit for $150,000 buys you in the US. We can even throw in mini-dragons
Note to self-obtain Panda Express franchise rights for Michigan[/quote]
that might actually work. of course the shacks will probably stay boarded up with the absentee owners living in CV.
btw, Panda Express is for non-Asians. true Asians would lose their Asian status if caught going into the place.[/quote]
It’s not that bad….

The more prestigious term would be Carmel Valley Adjacent.July 12, 2012 at 12:20 PM #747829CoronitaParticipant[quote=ocrenter]I don’t think the prices in CV will go down. I think CV has now earned a special Asian Enclave status that will detach it slightly from the local market forces, much like other Asian Enclave such as Cupertino, San Marino, and Irvine. FOBs will look at CV value in relation to other AEs and continue to find value in the CV prices.
As the dollar continue to lose value against the RMB, CV will appear to be even more of a bargain. Already within the last 6 years the Chinese have gained 30% in purchasing power. This means a CV home priced at $1 million today looks like it is just $760k to the Chinese.
The only thing is the Chinese have a lot more exposure to the Euro mess, and they are starting to slow down.
So things will just stay flat, but very unlikely to go down.[/quote]
In reality, I wouldn’t worry…We’re nowhere near that point yet in CV. Good grief if we are…
Have you been Roland Heights? You can tell, because as you approach the area, the street signs and billboards and advertisements all the sudden are all foreign characters. Some signs at least try to be bilingual and have both English and InsertYourFavoriteAsianLanguage here. But in many cases, they don’t even bother…
When we start seeing signs like that in CV, then you know it’s all downhill from there…..

Come on…You know they won’t really care about what it’s called. The only question that will be ask is.
“What school district are we in?”
Then you’re fvxxxx.

Rowland has gone the way of Monterey Park. But these places are more commerce centers for the average ethnic Chinese at large. I should have been a bit more specific, CV is going the way of the high end Asian Enclave. you certainly do not see the bilingual signs in San Marino, and in Irvine everything is strictly limited to the particular shopping centers.

Hey, try translating San Dieguito Union to Chinese, it’ll come out as Little San Diego Unified. The realtor just accidentally drop the “little”…

Participant[quote=flu]I like that… Mira Mesa. It’s only 10 minutes to CV. Hey, with the new Pardee homes. Since they share the same floorplan as Carriage Run, it might just work.[/quote]
the promotional materials for some of the tract homes I’ve seen have a map pointing out such key San Diego locations as UCSD, Del Mar, Qualcomm, Balboa Park, and… “99 Ranch” Market in Kearny Mesa! I wonder what demographic they are targetting there?
(i can’t remember which community this as…either Carriage Run or Del Sur, I believe).

My guess is Carriage Run, because Pardee used that same promo materials for Sorrento Heights in Mira Mesa. Except I don’t remember they pointing out 99 Ranch though.July 12, 2012 at 3:49 PM #747856CoronitaParticipant[quote=AN][quote=Essbee][quote=flu]I like that… Mira Mesa. It’s only 10 minutes to CV.

MM already have 3 Asian supermarkets, so we rarely go to 99. We actually go to Zion more than 99. We only go to 99 when the local supermarket doesn’t have something we want to make and we’re already down at Zion buying stuff. I can’t stand the parking situation at 99.July 12, 2012 at 4:33 PM #747861The-Shoveler
ParticipantBTW,
A lot of the “Roland Heights” area markets are very sad to visit these days (IMO), lots of empty stalls and not nearly as full as it used to be especially in the HK-super market mall.
Really surprised me the last time we visited it (on a Saturday even).
99 ranch seem to be doing good as always, but the rest just seemed really slow compared to what it used to be.
Maybe it’s just me.TV really needs a 99-Ranch, lots of Asians there now days.

ParticipantAgree with you, sdduuuude, but not limiting it to just those areas. I think the “peak” for this most recent run-up (or slower/stagnant declines in some areas that should be falling faster) all across the country is in…for all the reasons you’ve stated.
Smells like deflation to me! 😉
