Temecula – Report from the ground

[Nor-LA-SD-guy]

[quote=sdrealtor]Things are as bad as we are being led to beleive however many of us extrapolate things beyond the reality. If unemployment is 10% that means employment is 90%. Sales can be down but for the guy still making the few sales that are out there they are up.

A balanced view of reality is the key.[/quote]

We have been on the hunt for a rental property, I can tell you the realtors who deal with foreclosures in the T.V. are swamped, whenever we are on the road looking (on the weekend anyway) the agent hardly ever needs to unlock the lockbox, we just follow the agent and group ahead of us then hand the keys to the next agent coming in.
In the realtors office there is constant traffic in and out and we usually need to wait for a free conference room to write offers etc…

Of course these people are probably doing the same thing we are so they are definitely looking to get a steal of a deal or walk, (not easy work being an agent in this environment).

Besides on Kogo this morning the lady who talks to the Archangel Michael said the economy is supposed to recover in 2009.
OK OK I will shut up now…

If you’re making six figures, you can afford 75% of San Diego and probably 98% of IE, without second income.

What do mean afford? Low 6 figures means low 300’s for purchase price; following the 3X rule. That will certainly get you something (even detached) in Esco, Vista, Oceanside, Ramona and El Cajon/Lakeside/Hell. It still isn’t going to buy anything decent west of the 5 (excluding Oceanside), RB Hillcrest or even dare I say downtown. Sure I could buy a 1 bedroom condo, but if I make 6 figures thats not something decent.

Gosh Josh you are right, everyone who makes six figures should be able to afford a detached home west of the 5, no one with that income should need to commute more than say 15 miles or live somePlace like temecula,

Note: I know truck drivers makeing more than six figures these days.

Congratulations.

Just curious – did you know the neighborhood or property well in advance of the listing?

Having an offer in less then 30 minutes after listing seems rather fast, especially if you ended up bidding up the price unless you had already checked out the property/etc.
