Vista Property – Comments

[Enorah]

Okay. I am not ready to buy, not even close. Just saying this up front, so no one says, “Enorah, what the hell is wrong with you?”

I am, however, ready to seriously start investigating areas to buy and ready to start watching specific homes in some of those areas.

This one caught my eye, as it has much of what we are looking for (on paper that is, we have not yet seen it).

We are – a couple in our forties, no kids, work from home, love to garden.

Any comments on pricing, area, etc would be so very much appreciated. Thank you!

Oh carp! Read all of the ad, Enorah. It’s a short sale, yeah, I know. But still, what do you think about price, location, etc?

FWIW my Grandma has lived in that general vicinity for the last 55 years and most of my family still lives there and in the last 10 years that area has gone down hill FAST. I personally would not buy in that particular area. And I expect with the amount of foreclosures and houses for sale that it still has a huge drop ahead.

I don’t know what you are looking for specifically but check this listing out. MLS# 081024977. The backyard is bigger, looks like it would be fun to landscape. I know that it has an offer already but it’s something to compare. We moved from Shadowridge a couple of years ago and loved it (we moved to better schools).

Enorah, avoid that location at all costs, one of the worst barrios in the north county. I am very familar with the area, take the advice above and go with Shadowridge for just a few dollars more, five miles and a world away. That hillside house is in what is considered the “townsite” area of Vista, whenever you hear of a gang shooting or something else that makes the news related to Vista, it is usually within a mile of that house.

On the plus side, if you work in the media you can help the environment and walk to crime scenes daily, without increasing your carbon footprint. Vista is very “hit and miss” on the North side of Highway 78, but a good rule of thumb is the further away from the townsite area, the better. A year ago someone asked about a property a mile or two away and I advised against it because of it’s proximity to….you guessed, the very neighborhood this house is in.

Now if you were a spanish speaking gang member who burglarizes homes for a living and is concerned about the high gas prices as they relate to commuting to places where you can buy drugs or weapons, I would say that this house is the perfect location, everything you would ever want is within walking distance.
