Participant[quote=ctr70]Think about it, people live in Seattle and Boston and love it even though the weather sucks bad. They tolerate the weather because the cities are cool and have character. Would ANYONE live in SD if it had Seattle’s weather? No! It would be an ugly place w/out the sunshine.[/quote]
That’s like saying, would anyone live in Seattle/Boston/SF if they have don’t have their character? One thing though is that, city character can change over time but weather is unlikely to change for many years to come.[quote=ctr70]A lot of SD has a lower mentality crowd and a lot of directionless uneducated people.[/quote]
What do you mean lower mentality crowd? Are you referring to their education? What do you mean directionless uneducated people? Doesn’t every city have people who are less educated to do the blue collar work?June 19, 2011 at 12:41 AM in reply to: It’s not all gloom and doom. “Silly” Valley values booming #704667Participant[quote=AN]It’s probably closer to 1.5-2X the cost depending on materials used, not 2-5X the cost. If it’s 5X the cost, then a comparable custom built house to a Stonebridge house (4000-4500 sq-ft on 1/2 acre) would cost $1.7M-4.2M to build. That’s where I call BS.[/quote]
My initial $1.7M-$4.2M estimate was actually a little low. According to this sale: http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-110007889-14574_Whispering_Ridge_Rd_San_Diego_CA_92131, it should be more like $2M-$5M. $2M can get you this custom home in RSF: http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-100070899-17791_Calle_Mayor_Rancho_Santa_Fe_CA_92067

That “bunch of lumber” can be plywood, “engineered wood,” or Brazilian hardwood and teak but you wouldn’t want to install the latter unless the property location and lot made it worth doing so. I’ve posted your phrase (above), “Everything else can be changed/customized” in all its variations countless times on this board but it doesn’t seem to have any effect on getting some Piggs to understand that “value” is all about location and nothing more, even if just a vacant lot.[/quote]
Not everyone do upgrades specifically for resale purposes. Some people do upgrades to enhance their living comfort and allow them to enjoy the materials/design. Just because it’s a tract house doesn’t mean one can’t put in high end upgrades, especially if it’s their forever home. Also, certain location appeal for to one and less for other. So, just because it’s less appealing to you doesn’t mean the owner of such house wouldn’t want to upgrade to their liking.June 18, 2011 at 6:05 PM in reply to: It’s not all gloom and doom. “Silly” Valley values booming #704666Participant[quote=bearishgurl]AN, here’s something we can agree on.
