Hi Paramount,

Happy New Year!

Yes, it was Hemingway that we looked at. While there is some appeal to owning a new home, I still felt like the Centex homes looked cheap in some respects. The front doors were cheesy…and the lots are so small. According to the sales office, there are only two lots left in Hemingway – Plans 1 and 4. Plans 2 and 3 are sold out. They have another section to build out, and said that will happen in spring.

I liked the Lennar homes in Wolf Creek, but I’m not crazy about Wolf Creek itself. It’s only about 50% built, and I wonder what will happen given the slowdown. We were told that they plan to start up again in April. But, with SO MUCH inventory out there, is that even possible?

I’m beginning to think I’d rather pick up a resale home, with a bigger lot (I have seen listings here for even 1/2 acre lots), and just upgrade the place myself, to my specifications.

We met a totally crazy realtor who is trying to sell his place out on the fringes of wine country. It’s out on De Portola Rd, 2.45 acres, pool, but dated 1980s home (no upgrades whatsoever) for $789K. He told us that plans have already been approved to build a 6-lane highway through Morgan Hill. It would start just after the CHP station on I-15 and run right through the MH neighborhood. He seemed to think that the joke’s gonna be on all the people who’ve paid a lot of money to live there, and that they have no idea what’s coming. I’m not sure if this is true – and not sure how to find out if it is.

As far as Temecula bashers…I’m fine with that. People talk about “cookie cutter” homes, here. IMO, it is no different than most of Northern San Diego county. Just a bit further out. I was prepared to not like living here, but I have to admit it’s a nice place. It’s quiet, crime is low, people are very friendly…it has a “small town” feel.

So, bash away! Maybe it’ll keep the population down.

Cheers,
Tamara

I saw a house on http://www.ziprealty.com (I’m on that ALL THE TIME) in Harveston, which looked nice…it that Mediterranean/tower lookB..anyway, my husband and I drove up (we are renting in Redhawk right now) and I thought it looked like a GHETTO.

I hope I’m not offending anyone who lives there, but the lots are SOOOOO SMALL. Like 3000 and 4000 sq feet. So, there are “McMansions” sitting on top of each other, on tiny lots.

The “lake” is not very large and I dont think you can even take a boat on it.

Personally, I wouldnt live there. It just feels too cramped.
