ParticipantPer square foot, this house is listed for more than recent SFR sales in La Jolla. See
http://www.redfin.com/CA/La-Jolla/2639-Caminito-Carino-92037/home/4879437
for example. Sold at $290/sqft.
ParticipantIt varies over time where the best deals are. A year or two ago some credit unions were best, including Point Loma CU. Now, the best deals seem to be through the Zillow quote service. Wells Fargo has great rates but through brokers, not through its in-house staff.
I would stay away from Lendingtree. Rates are not great, quotes are missing important information, and the brokers who use it are the sleazy hard-sell type.

ParticipantIncandescent (standard) recessed lighting is really inefficient. Remember that if you are running the a/c then you are paying twice over (more in fact) because the a/c is removing the heat from the light bulbs!
Replace all your incandescent bulbs with CFLs, especially the recessed ones. Get an electrician to replace the dimmer switches with regular switches that allow you to choose which bulbs to have on.
Don’t bother with so-called dimmable CFLs. They cost a lot more and don’t work well.

ParticipantRight now in my house we have a Christmas dinner guest who is physically and mentally disabled, and lives in a group home of this sort.
I helped his relatives move him into his group home. At the time the neighbors had hurtful protest signs across the street. Since then there have been no problems at all.
Whenever you buy a house there is always a risk that someone you don’t like will move in nearby. Maybe you are “right” maybe you aren’t. I have a relative who felt obliged to sell his co-op in New York because of noisy new neighbors.
