When you say “class based” do you mean that non-Temecula people think we’re all a bunch of red-neck rubes? One of the things that HAS surprised me about Temecula is that while it is a bit of a “Stucco Jungle” there IS, indeed, a lot of money up here. I’ve seen the “horsey set” tooling around town, and there seem to be a number of $1mil+ homes that are very elegant.

We are very fortunate. My husband found an excellent job with a small aerospace company up here (he’s a retired USAF pilot), and I work from home as a writer. His commute is 10 minutes and mine is 10 seconds.

If I worked in San Diego, I’d probably choose to live in Vista/Shadowridge or South Escondido. It looks like there are aggressively priced homes in those areas right now.

I really loved this house when I looked at it – it shows like a model – but it’s overpriced at $589K:

http://redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-listing?listing-id=1193384

According to redfin, they paid $437K in 2003, so are probably in denial over the price…it’s been on the market for nearly 90 days!

What would you offer for the house? Just curious…

There is another house on the same street listed at $519K (133 days), but I think that’s probably too high, too (no upgrades). I think a more realistic price is probably mid-400s.

We just sold our house in Virginia before moving back to CA. We had COMPETING offers within 10 days. The secret? We wanted to unload it so we hired a stager and priced it aggressively. We expected to list it at $470K and when the realtor suggested $430K it was like a kick in the stomach. But, we sold it and it’s done.

I kinda wonder when some of these sellers are going to realize that they simply are not going to get the price they expect.

In answer to your question about Southern Temcula, in addition to the nice things I mentioned before, I find that life just feels calmer up here and people ARE nicer.

As I may have mentioned, we are renting in Redhawk, and the neighbors have been friendly and nice. We dont have kids, so we merely put up a xmas tree – not a theatre-production sound and light show on the front lawn. The neighbors knocked on the door – a group of guys – and offered to put up lights in the front of our house. They were hanging lights all over the street and had extras.

It’s not perfect here, but whenever I go to San Diego and come back, I feel a sense of calm as I approach the 79.

It is VERY VERY family oriented here, too. I dont have kids, but have been impressed by all of the family activities that are offered.

One of my chief complaints is a lack of original, non-chain restaurants. With a growing wine country, you’d think the food scene would be a bit more savvy, but it’s not.
