BobS. Thanks, nice, but that is above our price range. We run out of a comfortable down payment at $5M purchase price.
Obviously I will now be able to continue to save considerably each month and once I sell my current house, save a little bit more per month, but I don’t plan on ever going above my max of $5M, even if I could. If I can’t find our dream house for under $5M, there is something wrong with me. Heck, I should find it for under $4M. I found that you don’t get incrementally more house for the extra $$ you pay once you get to $4M or so.
I did get real close to becomming your neighbor on one house in Santaluz, but the seller and I reached a stalemate and his house remains unsold one month later.

April 7, 2008 at 8:42 AM #182080SD RealtorParticipantWhile you are choosing to look at it as a failure it is not. Think of it as a learning experience. You have displayed all the right attributes about how to go about searching for a home. The most important part about the search you have performed is the portrayal about the differences between finding a house you like and a house you love. When you find the one you love you need to go all in or not at all.
Fortunately Raptor, in the end it will be fine for you because while it may not seem possible, you will indeed find a home that is just as fitting as the one you missed. I can say that with all the confidence in the world. Additionally your diligence in the search you have performed has pretty much been unmatched as far as I can tell on this site. Hopefully Piggington has served as a good outlet for the frustating experience you have gone through.
There are plenty of rentals in CV. Have your realtor look on the MLS and have her look on Craigslist for a start. There are also a few services she can check with as well.

Raptor: The upside of this decision to rent near to your target market is that your search efforts will become much more efficient and informed, thus lowering your eventual transaction costs.April 7, 2008 at 8:48 AM #182099EconProfParticipantBobS
