Participantjpinpb. I agree with you on the Victorians. I am not partial to that style, but I can certainly admire that architecture. The ones in SF are very extraordinary, and there are some nice examples in old Palo Alto and the Rose Garden area of San Jose, for example.

ParticipantI agree with your excellent assessments of RSF. I have been also watching this area. I am particularly interested in Santaluz but agree that this area is overpriced. I can’t help but think there won’t be a strong downward pressure on price as the “investors” realize they are losing money with each passing month when there is no home appreciation (and certainly with depreciation). The monthly burn rate is pretty high given the MR, HOA and loan carrying costs. The flame burns even brighter if you have even a basic club membership. It is already well documented from this site the NOD’s in some of the lower priced homes in Santaluz. Right now, those prices in Santaluz just dont pass the olfactory test………

ParticipantFor us, Santaluz is the same analysis as any other new development. No costs to upgrade the home as it is already brand new. In Fairbanks Ranch and some other areas, we are buying homes that require complete interior updating. Maybe not knocking down walls, but kitchen/bathroom remodels, new floors, finishes etc.
So while you have to pay Mello Roos, you don’t have to pay for improvements. Tough call.
