thanks for your reply. i appreciate the info on other cv homes.

so, since you’re expecting your home to drop to $750K you can just sell it to me for $800K! 🙂

hmmmm… Don't know if my wife and kid would appreciate that.  Unfortunately, I don't think we're one of those 100% financed people :). 

Besides, pretty soon, you can pick and choose.

I was born and grew up in So Cal, lived there for 35 years but have moved to the southeast, the land of milk and honey! (Compared to So cal) We are a family of four, CSULB BSME and Univ of Tenn MBA, $140K/yr income from my job, side consulting business and rental income. Wife is stay home mom since the birth of our second child. Put $280K earned from Kalifornia RE gains in 1991-2003 on our $500K home in Greenville, SC. Both kids are in the best private school in the area at $15K/yr (there is no such thing as good and safe public schools), house payments are 1350, + 350 for taxes and insurance. We live in 3800 sq ft 100% brick, on 0.6 acres, that’s more than 20,000 sq ft for you people who measure land by the sq ft. I drive 5 miles to work and it takes 7-8 minutes, even with single lane roads. We live 30 minutes from a lake, 3 hours from the Atlantic and 10 minutes from the mountains. Charlotte and Atlanta are close by, so is Asheville. Crime: what’s that? Energy costs are low, gasoline 50 cents lower, peak bill of 250 for electric and gas, insurance is half of CA. We are within 2.5 hours of more than 20 of the top universities in the nation! Wife is finishing school to work in the medical field now that the kids are in middle/high school, should push us over $200K/yr income. Have a 401K at around $200K, which I stuff to the max, 40K in the kids college fund at Scottrade. Have lived the high life and now prefer the lower speeds of the southeast. We currently save around $1K/month and are looking to save 2-3K/mo again when the wife starts work so that we can retire early in 10 years at 55-57.

Come join us. No bubbles, top quality of life, least expensive cost of living, lots of time to spend with your family, no commute, early retirement. Companies here are hiring and can’t get enough good people, big companies too! By the way, the athletics at the SEC make the west coast look stupid, UT showed CAL total defeat; second that for Florida vs Ohio and that’s only football, then look at basketball; UT and UF on top again! No wonder so many people are leaving CA for greener pastures.

Come on admit it, there has to be something wrong with the place. No traffic, no wildfires, no earthquakes to speak of, no crime, no grafitti, no bubble. Is it boring there ?

32, married, no kids. We do not need to work anymore as our investment dividends yield more than enough to live off.

Thats awesome what_a_disasta! How did you manage it at such young age? Could you please share your investment ideas?

Good topic because we should be aware of who the new buyers are/will be.

Us: Married, three kids, one wage-earner + some investments for a total of $100K-$120K (depending on O/T and investment returns). We have enough for 20-40% down at current prices (depends on what/where we eventually decide to buy), but will not buy until exotic loans have been out for at least a year (or three).

Agree with those who say the lurkers/posters here are not the norm. This also goes to show that “rich” people are not inclined to throw money away on overpriced homes.
