The Three Car Garage Monitor

[temeculaguy]

Wow, three responses, I can usually hear an echo in here. VO, you are right, I keep loading and unloading the cannon. On one hand the banks are desperate and I keep finding repo listings that have gone six months without an offer by talking to realtors. I keep thinking that they can’t ignore a 25% off offer if nobody has ever looked twice. It’s a mixed bag, some realtors are angry because the bank loaned 550k, list for 375k thinking they are giving it away and I come walking talking like Trump Jr., citing closed sales, days on market, the fact that they have had no offers in six months and almost no showings. Then I say that they will be begging me for a 250k offer in six months so they might as well take it now, save us both the trouble of waiting. As of yet, I haven’t written any offers, just conversations to get a feel for my strategy, we will see, I have about 30 days to decide which way to go.

Little lady, R.V. parking and cheap is a wicked combo. If it allows it it is either in an area with 1 acre lots and very expensive or in a place you wouldn’t want to live (unless you want to live amongst the tattooed yahoos and their desert toys in the yard). I do find them but they are all falsly advertised. Here’s an example:

http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-listing?listing-id=1357474

Decent price at 375k, top notch schools and Redhawk HOA with R.V. parking. Two catches. First, I have no idea how you get the R.V. into that spot, it seems to be an impossible turn. Second, the Redhawk HOA forbids it. Notice the listing says R.V. parking (buyer to verify). They know you can’t park it there. Long term R.V. parking is not permitted by municipal code on any street in Temecula and I know of no HOA that allows it on the side of the house, so you need to be in an unincorporated area or an area of customs on land. I do know of a Murrieta development that has a communal R.V. parking lot located within the gated community, you can walk to your rig but not keep it at the house.

If you want to spend the money, there are some sweet ones in Morgan Valley that have 4 car garages and the coolest feature I’ve seen in a big house, garage doors that also open to the backyard. You can open the bays and drive into tha backyard. There’s also a tract in Morgan hill with three car garages and the third bay is R.V. size. You get two choices, pay a lot more, or store it. Heres a few ways to go for R.V. parking and good schools. 750k to start

Marion, good luck with $64 a square foot, I wouldn’t plan my life around that because it costs more to build than that. Why don’t you shoot for 1750 sq for 175K. It’s one thing to be a bear and another to be unrealistic. Why does a single woman with 2 kids need 2700 square feet? I don’t want to start an argument with you because I really don’t want to get you riled up and have you fire off some barbs about my hedonistic lifestyle but Mcmansions in So cal for 175K? With a modest 25k down payment, that is $750 P&I, I think the car wash guy can swing that. I wasted a good chunk of my higher education in economics classes so I feel qualified to say that when 90% of the population can afford the largest homes the supply and demand law will have been violated. For the same reason shacks couldn’t remain at unsustainable price levels, your goal price wont be reached. Feel free to rebuke my point but lets keep this to math and housing, I’m way too fragile for psychoanalysis and one of my dearest female friends who loves cats and ice cream called me on the phone and chastised me the last time I engaged you on these boards. Tread lightly.

little lady, let me apologize for my weird friend VOZ. He was referring to a past thread where i mentioned that after the 1st of the year i was going to load the lowball cannon and see what I could hit ( my original words, not his). Sure he’s a little different but this was all my fault and a bit of a joke on his part. If we were all the same it wouldn’t be interesting. Don’t run him off or be put off by him, he’s harmless and entertaining, what more can you ask?

Tg…About getting me riled up, my bark is worse than my bite.

I have no reason to go off on you. SO, why would I? In 1997-1998 that’s where prices were. I just don’t see why they can’t get that way again. The couple who bought a home next to my parents, the wife worked at 7-11.

If you don’t want to engage me, you don’t have to.

GREAT HOUSE that’s all I want! But it’s bull, right? We looked @ Redhawk and thought “PERFECT”. We were told absolutely NO RV parking. I didn’t know about the schools, that sounds great too. 750k is a little too steep……but beautiful none the less…..

We have the toy hauler and desert toys, but no on the tattoos thanks……I am a middle aged woman with 2 boys who like to ride…not my thing, I just like camping…..

I do remember you or someone else posting about the Temecula area being the best, if your buying in that area. I heard the west side because of the breeze. We had a breeze that sounds simular in our last home in Santee(similar climate). So I definately was interested in that area.

Thanks again, and thanks for always keeping us updated,always informative. What goes on up there, ends up down here eventually……..

Oh voz, he’s one mean spirited character…he can be quite insulting along with others here……you know what I mean….but I appreciate your thoughtfulness….thanks again…ttfn
