ParticipantI disagree that construction quality is lower now. The building codes have become ever tougher over the past 50 years. I’ve lived in a 60s house and a 70s house in San Diego. The 70s house is clearly more earthquake-resistant, has safer wiring, and more. When we remodeled, the current building codes required insulation, double-glazed windows, and other features that were missing in the 70s.
The same is true in other parts of the US also. A Florida house built now is considerably more hurricane-resistant than a 10 year old one.
And the same is true if you compare a new condo downtown to one that was converted from a bulding built to decades-old standards.
ParticipantThe La Jolla house on Bahia Lane was a special situation. It was on the market for years, off and on. Lots of buyers passed on it, I don’t know for what reasons. I’d say the buyer got a pretty good deal for today’s market. There are other houses for sale in La Jolla now that are only asking a bit more, that are in better locations, or single story, or have a view, but are smaller.
In contrast, the Clairemont buyers overpaid. I wonder if they are not local, or they don’t have kids and don’t care about the schools?

December 8, 2009 at 11:17 PM in reply to: After 60 job applications, honor student back home in Missoula #492030ParticipantThis young woman went to a bad high school: she was “the only student from Sentinel High School’s class of 2005 to attend college on the East Coast.”
She went to a low-ranked university: George Washington.
She majored in marketing and finance. Good universities teach these subjects only at the MBA level, and require greater intellectual depth at the undergrad level.
No one should be surprised she can’t find a job.

ParticipantNo offense, but this thread is advertising by HLS. And the rates quoted are not the lowest ever, although they are close. Last May I refinanced a $500K loan, 30 yr fixed, no points, 3rd party closing costs only, at 4.625%.
At the time, my experience was that Zillow mortgage quotes were by far the best way to find a good rate from a reliable broker. Essentially identical rates are quoted today through Zillow. Of course, your mileage may vary.
