Allan from Fallbrook
ParticipantTG: Excellent point about the fires, especially in light of what just happened this year. You also forgot to mention that, in addition to the lower temps, we in Fallbrook are smarter and more physically attractive. =)
Pizza: KB is taking it in the shorts on that mini development. They are pushing those houses very strongly, and getting minimal (if any) response. As far as Pepper Tree Park goes, I live in the Pepper Tree area, slightly behind the development of the same name. What sort of information are you looking for?

ParticipantBunny: We bought our place in 2003 for $425k. It is 3,300sf on 1.2ac. I mention this because there are a significant number of owners in Fallbrook that are like me: They purchased early in, or prior to, the boom and are sitting on a decent hunk of equity. Selling therefore doesn’t become such a pressing proposition as it would for someone who is upside down and saddled with a bad mortgage. This is just opinion, so please treat it accordingly, but I think there are more people in Temecula and Murrieta in this fix than in Fallbrook. Again, sheer guesswork, but that feels right.
That being said, I do know there are people here that are in trouble, and that the situation is getting worse. Quite a few of the properties that are for sale are dropping their prices, and “Bank Owned” sign toppers are becoming more prevalent. As I mentioned earlier, you’re not going to hurt yourself by waiting.
During the boom, our place went as high as $800k, before settling back down into the $600s. There are people out there that are really treating the bust as nothing more than a blip, and they absolutely refuse to listen to reason. Until cold, hard reality gives them a sharp one upside the head, they’ll keep believing a turnaround is right around the corner.

ParticipantCardiffBaseball: I don’t think you are going to see any flareups related to the middle eastern immigrant population, but it has been a while since I have been there. As an interesting aside, a friend of mine was telling me that al Qaeda has a significant presence in Mexico (mainly for training). For some reason, this made perfect sense to me. This is also someone who would know, and based the observation on solid field intel.
Nost: While your comment might generate some blowback, I agree with you. Anyone who cares to can read up on the Jordanian expulsion of the Palestinians, their treatment by the Saudis, as well as how effectively Yasir Arafat hijacked the “revolution” for his own ends.
It’s interesting to note that Arafat died a billionaire. What makes that more interesting is that the money in question was not used to build schools or hospitals or help with basic and necessary social services. Instead it was earmarked for terrorist activities, and to keep Arafat and his Palestinian Authority buddies in power.
Mentioning this, however, sends most lefties into a tizzy, and is rejoined sharply by accusations of supporting the “Zionists” and the “American Empire”.
The Palestinians have been very effectively used as both a propaganda tool, and cannon fodder.
As far as the AK goes: It is the best assault rifle ever made, bar none. We used to capture AKs with mud in the action, and fouled gas tubes, and covered in rust. Damn things functioned flawlessly. The M16 (“if it’s Mattel, it’s swell”) on the other hand, had to be cleaned religiously (up to three times a day in the jungle) and would malfunction if you looked at it wrong. Don’t get me started on the history of that misbegotten hunk of junk.

ParticipantThere are definitely “townie” hangouts in Fallbrook. Farmhouse Coffee, Cafe Bravo and the Bistro at Jackson Square (which you referenced).
There are some deals, but few and far between. Overall, I think people here are like people throughout San Diego county when it comes to overvaluing their home. The general consensus is that, while there is a downturn going on, things will turn around in ’08 and this will be behind us.
I would strongly advocate waiting at least a year, if not longer (18 to 24 months).
I have family in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Illinois, and that is what appealed to me about Fallbrook. Growing up in a small town has certain advantages. And, truth be told, certain disadvantages.
