ParticipantI live in that area and can give some opinion. I only rent in the area, but I do like it there. I spend some time in SEH at friends and a couple of the parks there with my children, but have never spent much time in 4S or Scripps Ranch.
The area around Stagecoach is pretty safe – I doubt that it is significantly different than SEH. The area is in the Encinitas School district (even though it has a Carlsbad zip code). In that particular area your child would attend Mission Estancia Elementary I think, which is a very good school – SEH elemetary is very good also, but feeds into San Marcos High School – which is an okay shcool, just not as good as the schools in Encinitas.
2 “negatives”:
1. The high school is just up the street, so you do have to watch out for certain periods of time with heavy traffic consisting mostly of high school drivers. If there is something in the area I have thought was unsafe, it is the proximity of the intersection of Calle timiteo and Camino de Los Coches to the children’s play structure in the park. It is only a matter of time before one of the high school kids who speed around the corner hits a tree there (but it has not happened yet that I know of).
2. I do walk through the neighborhood you are talking about once a week or so with my wife and daughters. The yards are very small (front and back), and the street is really narrow – meaning no street parking for visitors, just a few “visitor” spots. It is quiet though so it is safe for children to be on the street playing and I see that pretty regularly.
I know at least one family who lives in there and they seem to like it. I have not been through there recently, but for a while there were quite a few for sale signs – even 2 listed next door to each other by the same agent.
The houses to the north and east border on the walking trail and people on the trail and in the apartments behind there will have a view into your backyard and rear windows. The Rancho Santa Fe side is pretty protected from the street from what I can tell.

ParticipantI have watched that show – sometimes it is entertaining, sometimes it is pretty bad – my favorite is how they refer to coming in “under” budget. The family may have a 600K budget, they find a 450K house and put in 125K in upgrades – then the host proudly announces they have “saved” 25K, as if they were required to spend the whole 600K – sometimes they are more careful and word it as just being 25K underbudget.
It is similar in the My House is worth what show, when they tell the person the appraisal, if the value is estimated as higher than what they paid, they tell them you have “made” xx dollars – it must be great, bring in a hand selected appraiser (realtor in that show), he/she tells you what you want to hear, and poof, you instantly have that money in your hand!
As long as you remember who are the sponsor’s of the shows they are pretty funny.

ParticipantFigures – The first four are the usual plots – very interesting to see that the trend in Short Sales has become decoupled from the trend in total listings.
The last figure is the Active to Pending Ratio plot – This is interesting in that the ratio for Short Sales is slightly higher than for total listings. As has been discussed, these data most likely overstate the true number of short sales, and understate the total listings – the argument all along is that this is only an exercise in watching the trends, not providing exact numbers – Bottom line is that we expect to see this pattern at some level.
The number of pendings is a true number, I assume, so an overestimate of the number of short sale listings would generate a higher than “real” ratio – likewise the total listings is an underestimate, so the ratio is lower than “real” (but probably closer than for short sales?) – so maybe what is interesting here is that these two ratios are so close in value.
In any case, 3 weeks worth of data are hard to say much of anything about – maybe in another month we can really start to say something about it.
