Thanks for your insights, Tom, particularly on the school system. As I mentioned, we have been very happy with La Costa Meadows Elementary, and since our kids are young (5, 3 & 1) we don’t have to worry about high school yet, but of course we take it into consideration as we’ll get there in another 9 years.

Why do you think “Common area pools are not appropriate amenities in this price range”? La Costa Greens, where we currently rent a home, is similiar to La Costa Ridge and they have a nice community center & pool here.

SR Realtor – I think you live near here – do you have any experiences with La Costa Ridge?

Dominic, we’ve also been looking at the Bay Collection -mostly the odd-numbered homes on Heron. We’ve found that prices for the most part in this part of Carlsbad are coming down a little, but most sellers just aren’t budging. After reviewing your numbers, it makes sense. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully we will see more movement in this area in 2008. We haven’t submitted any offers yet, but depending on the market, we may start this summer. Eventually, people will have to face reality (at least we hope so!).

Hi SD Realtor,
Yes, I had posted on here about the house before, and it was through you that I found it had been on the market for more than a year (relisted several times). I did not know it had been listed at a lower price though.

I would expect my realtor to tell me about the additional bonus as I see it as an added expense on my part – it’s an additional $10k that the seller will be adding on to what they want to get. Since my agent is representing me, as a seller, I think that is information that should be shared with me,and yes, I think a rebate would be appropriate in that situation.

Although I have owned four houses in three states and had my real estate license a long time ago when I lived in VT, I am learning more from this site than all those experiences put together. When we are ready to buy, we will have a lot of questions & good information to base our decisions on.

Thanks to all you Piggs!

My husband & I were wondering the same thing (about the $10k bonus). Our realtor certainly never said anything to us about it. If they are a buyer’s agent, shouldn’t they disclose that along with other info about the house if we are considering it?
