    Ditto Temeculaguy. It is certainly not a bad deal, and if you are happy with it and can afford it, then go be happy.

    Personally I share the concern about the bedroom communities, and believe they will continue to be hit even harder than more metro areas. And even though you are personally not as impacted, remember that your neighbors might be. This is one reason I’m looking more at RB/Carmel Mtn Ranch for our re-relo than Temecula (TG, what’s your take on this?).

    As much as I enjoy reading the research and making wise decisions (I’m a geek numbers and research guy at heart), I agree that trying to find the best possible deal is probably not a reasonable objective. The very fact that you’ve done your research and are being conservative financially separates you from a good many. There will always be those who get a better deal, especially if they can afford to wait on the perfect situation. But given current rates and your info, it certainly seems like you found a workable deal in your market. Best of luck!

    P.S. Water the lawn!

    Looks like you gotten good comments, but you may also want to ask at patrick.net, which is the bay area site if you haven’t already.

    Fear breeds uncertainty. In this case, thats a good thing.

    We don’t know how low its going to go, but lower than here and now is certain. If so why lock in now? What no other place will satisfy you? Is moving that painful? I have a feeling, though I don’t know you that you have been itching to buy for a while and just now something has come into your sites.

    Interest rates will go up, prices will drop more, there is no real upside to this. Especially if you commute to the bay, or hope to move there anytime soon.

    Off subject somewhat, Vacaville seems to be distinguished by being too far from a railway. Not a thought you hear in SD of course , but relevant in SF. If a person is an SF commuter, access to the Bart for example is important. And the bart goes out the same distance as Vacaville in certain directions (eg Dublin).

    By the same token, why didn’t the state government require those hundreds of developers and landowner sellers in places like Vacaville to fund a mass transit system from their profits . Did they think that would be communism?
