You have every right to feel however you feel about a certain geographic location for whatever reasons you may have. We all have our preferences with regard to housing, but I’m sorry to hear this experience has cost you time and money.

I’m sure you are young, and, now that you know what you want, and what you don’t want, you’ll recover in time, and all of this will be but a distant memory.

Good Luck![/quote]

Wow, thank you. My wife and I just read this together and it touched us. We definitely learned our lesson and will not make the same mistake again. We are going to be more patient with the San Diego housing market the next time around. Have a great night!

[quote=SDHopes][quote=paramount]I think the OP might be a troll, seriously.

The thread title was essentially unrelated to the question…

A shock value title for the following question: Should I sell if I’ve occupied my house for less than 2 years.[/quote]

I’m sorry you are so bothered by my post.
I wonder why you are so defensive?

Thank you to everyone who has given helpful advice for my real life situation.[/quote]

It’s an antagonistic initial post, simple as that…

Is this marion by chance?

Sort of liking starting a thread on a sports car forum: BMW Sucks

How can I trade in my BMW for an Audi?

Wow, the insults just keep coming. Yes, you have every right to feel and express yourself, but so do others.

Don’t be surprised that when you insult an entire city of 125,000+ people – either passively or actively – that they might take issue with your insults – as I do.

Call me a hypocrite if you must, but then again my time in Temecula is measured in decades, not months.

I don’t think the OP is trying to insult the whole city. They moved there, and for whatever reason, have come to the conclusion it isn’t a good fit. That happens, it isn’t personal.

Plenty of Californians try out Vegas and after a few months to a few years, end up returning. I seriously doubt the rest of Vegas are looking at that as a personal rejection.

Different strokes for different folks, right?

Thank you for trying to explain to Paramount. Sadly, I don’t think he will listen to your sound reasoning.

I hope one day you will feel secure enough in your living situation in Temecula that you don’t feel the need to jump on other’s posts who feel differently than you. Everyone is different in this world and that should not be perceived as threating.
We miss San Diego though we know others may not feel the same. If someone were to post that they regret a home purchase there, we would NEVER jump on their post to say the things you have said on ours. We fully understand that everyone has their own preferences.
May you one day find peace and acceptance of other’s views without impulses towards defensive anger.

SDHopes, from the info in your post, I can tell that you bought in Harveston, and the part of Harveston that is not close-by to the lake. While commute to North County to Temecula is generally not that good, the commute to Harveston is terrible because it is closer to the 15/215 intersection.

So the lesson I can draw from your case is that you should rent in a neighborhood before you buy. You are saved by your perfect timing, so either sell it now or hold it on for another year doesn’t look so bad. There are enough demands for rental in Harveston because that is the part of town that people generally want to live in (unlike some other part of town in Temecula Valley). So either way, you should be fine, there is nothing to worry about.

You are right- we should have rented before we bought. We regret not doing that and will never make this mistake again. Thankfully the area we bought in is the fastest selling area of Temecula at the moment. So it’s just a matter of listing it now or listing in a year. It’s been helpful to reach out to the Piggington experts on here for their input. Thank you.

I love visiting my family in Temecula and it suits them fine, but I also always enjoy returning home to Encinitas and feel very fortunate to love where I live. It’s expensive because it’s desireable and worth it in my opinion, but not everyone’s which is fine by me. Good luck with everything![/quote]

Encinitas is an incredible place. You are very fortunate to live there.

I’m part of Temecula, sort of, and I’m not insulted, not even 3 nanograms, even though I do suffer from Temecula pride. I love the city of temecula, but can understand why others might feel it sucks so bad.

Regret may be totally unrelated to temecula, even. COuld simply be you turned a certain age,, or the feng shui of the house is wrong, or heck, maybe because you hadn’t met me. I regret lots of things and the basis of those regrets may have connections to other things i couldnt even begin to understand.

your reality (and even my reality) does not affect the virtues or vices (assumign something like a virtue even has an independent existence of our realities) of the city of temecula.

that said, maybe it’s not you–maybe it’s us…is there anything temecula can do to cheer you up? Maybe i can rally temecula. maybe we could try harder. is it a zoning issue? or just a vibe?

Thank you so much for your post, put a smile on my face! You are like the countless other nice people we have met while we have been living here- funny and kind. We have made some great friends here. Paramount seems to be the exception to the rule. There is nothing wrong with Temecula, just not for us. Like another poster said, we truly should have rented here first.

Oh come on, let’s get real. there is definitely something wrong with Temecula. There’s something wrong with lots of places. But the good outweighs the bad! life is sweet wherever you live.

Wow. Welcome back scaredy!

P.S. I just noticed scaredy has been back for sometime now. (Just read OT: trayvon martin post) It was me who hasn’t been keep up with piggington.

[paramount]

Ok, back to earth now…

If OP lives in Harveston, I can understand wanting to move.

Harveston is the result of a City Council ran by developers.

Harveston was a poorly planned community IMO, to densely packed with homes. Close to the freeway and the sewage treatment plant (when the wind blows just right).

IMO Harveston is more Murrieta than Temecula.

Moving to Temecula (city)? Stay south of Rancho California.

[SDHopes]

Thank you for the advice so far!
