CoronitaParticipantCoronitaParticipantLol… Always coming back dz when markets are down lol….
CoronitaParticipantThese will rent like hotcakes to UCSD students.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=an][quote=Coronita]I’m not sure if $6k/month in MM is doable yet. I’m not saying it isn’t, I just don’t know. Could be with the right house.[/quote]
$6k-6.5k is possible for the newer houses at the corner of Camino Santa Fe and Calle Cristobal as well as the 2500ish sq-ft houses in 3Roots and some of the view lots West of MM.[/quote]I don’t know this market well, so probably. Rent has dramatically increased here in SD the last year.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=sdrealtor][quote=an]What’s interesting is, according to Redfin, the rent estimate for that Sunnyvale home is only ~$6k. Houses in Mira Mesa with similar rent estimate from Redfin (trying to keep variables as close to the same as possible) is going for ~$1.3-1.4m.[/quote]
I don’t know about Redfin rent estimates but my neighborhood has rents around $6k now and prices are $2m+ ish[/quote]
That estimate in redfin for 94086 is pretty close to reality. Speaking from experience. 4/2 1700sqft in Sunnyvale c rented for $5000/month
Roughly same time 5/3 2600 sqft in 92130 rented for $5000/month around the same time. 94086 tenant isn’t planning to buy anytime soon because despite floating in Uber and Facebook stock grants, rent is still cheaper than buy by a lot and money saved, tenant sends kid to private school and very close to new tech campuses. But there it’s pretty crazy, there use to be a large plot of dumpyard land next to the rail lines. Last time i was there, that scrapyard right along train tracks is now high density housing.Both roughly $6k/month now.
That’s why I said what I said. All else being equal, tenant gets more for their money here in SD, as long as they can work remotely most of the time. I don’t need everyone to work remotely. I just need to find one that does, lol…92130 just renewed his lease for 2nd year and asked for an additional 2-3 years extension….I said we would talk about it when time is up.
I’m not sure if $6k/month in MM is doable yet. I’m not saying it isn’t, I just don’t know. Could be with the right house.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=limkotir]Not familiar with bay area neighborhoods or market dynamics, but fully recognize Sunnyvale is a city that houses many tech companies.
Seems like the K-12 public schools this house is zoned to is ok, whereas MM has high achieving schools, but definitely not close to the nearby tech money influence.
Two questions: are public schools in the bay area in MM-like / -esque neighborhoods are typically like this per GreatSchools, mostly with 6s to 8s ratings, and 2) is it true many upper middle class families, by bay area standards, just end up going the private school route?[/quote]
Sunnyvale and south is what would be considered on par with Mira Mesa in terms of schools for a family. The location of the large apple campus only came recently with the past few years. Sunnyvale use to be a solid middle class neighborhood back in early 2000s obtainable for middle class, even as far as 2008.
Cupertino has always been the sought after school district.
I see many parallels when between Sunnyvale (ditto for mountain view) and Mira Mesa,.when things changed for the better. Close proximity to job center. No different than Mira Mesa being close to Sorrento Valley and now the life sciences growth area near 3 Roots…. 3 Roots will do well. Mira Mesa will do well as the more blue collar older owners move out by selling and retiring and refreshed with new owners. If SFH in MM are now over $1m, it’s a entirely new demographics moving in now aint going back. In practice, when public schools in the area will continue to get better as the demographics changes.
Short of jumping on an IPO bandwagon or working for a company with decent RSUs or being in a double income earning family….that’s what’s going to be the new norm for new people, unfortunately.
CoronitaParticipanthttps://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Diego/7260-Calle-Cristobal-92126/unit-42/home/4559129
1114sqft condo in 92126….
$724k.Welcome to the 92126,
…..the new Beverly Mesa….It’s only 5 minutes to new
…..La Jolla Atherton..It’s also pretty close to 92130, the new..
….Carmel Cupertino….Lol. I really hope doomsayers are right and that we see a massive price correction. I mean, as it stands, I am priced out from buying more here unless I do something drastic like raise rents closer to market price or work for a startup that hits the IPO jackpot
Bay Area housing all over again…boy do I not miss those days….
If you think it’s bad here…..
https://www.redfin.com/CA/Sunnyvale/945-Foxglove-Dr-94086/home/6713144/2 1700 sqft in roughly a place like Beverly Mesa.up there. $2.9m
CoronitaParticipant[quote=limkotir]Oh wow, thanks for the insight.
Judging by the participants’ Nextdoor neighborhoods they are indexed to, folks complaining are in zip 92130 Carmel Valley, but with folks chiming in from Mira Mesa and the even more affluent beach communities.
For CV, I suspect it gets that extra oomph of demand due to the upper middle class families that try to push their kids into the best schools as possible, especially among certain groups of minorities from the other side of the globe. Truth to be told, I think most “starting” families aren’t in position looking at CV as their SFH these days at current price point and 5% interest rate for 30Y fixed loan, for that, join the rest of us and look in 92126, 92123, and south bay and way northern county zips that are still closer to the $1M range!! It’s a feasting frenzy.
On a side note, few replies ago, we were talking about that gorgeous Carlsbad home 5 houses away from power lines. Take a look at the below SFH in CV, powerlines are behind the backyard (50 feet away from property line?) — Redfin calculated if this home is sold for $2M, the monthly payment at 5% 30Y fixed mortgage, HOA, insurance and Prop Taxes (I used 1.09%) is around a cool ~$10,500 a month.
https://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Diego/11244-Laurelcrest-Dr-92130/home/22651174
But will it sell for $2M, over and under? Place your bets!!![/quote]
Probably around that or more…
It has access to Sage Canyon Elementary and or Ocean Air, and lots of people don’t care about power lines (I do)…
CoronitaParticipantLot’s of people in north county nextdoor are pissed about housing

See, this is why I don’t get bored. Lol.[/quote]
Usually those warranties are for manufacturing defects, not normal wear from usage. Theye didn’t put that clause in the warranty?[/quote]
No clause… “The only items are not covered are additives, soap, wax, cleaners, etc”

(12:18:37 PM) Me: Hi Tanner.
(12:18:42 PM) Tanner Amoroso: Hello!
(12:18:46 PM) Tanner Amoroso: Sure, what can I help with?
(12:19:03 PM) Me: I have a bunch of items that I’d like to send back with the lifetime warranty. (I already bought replacements from FCP recently).
(12:19:07 PM) Me: But i have a few questions
(12:19:20 PM) Me: 1. Are oil filters considered consumables that are not covered?
(12:21:36 PM) Tanner Amoroso: Yes! The are!
(12:21:51 PM) Tanner Amoroso: Oil and oil filters as well as cabin and air filters are covered
(12:22:00 PM) Me: oil is covered?
(12:22:05 PM) Me: That’s a consumable though
(12:22:09 PM) Tanner Amoroso: The only items are not covered are additives, soap, wax, cleaners, etc
(12:22:23 PM) Tanner Amoroso: Oil is covered under our Lifetime Warranty! To do so:1) Reorder the same oil/service kit previously purchased from us
2) Perform your oil change, putting the old oil in the new bottles
3) Fill out our warranty returns form found here: https://www.fcpeuro.com/returns/selection
4) When packing the oil, please put the bottles in a plastic bag and tie it off at the top to prevent any leaks. Include the returns form in the package and ship to 155 Hill St. Milford, CT, 06460
Returns process the business day after they arrive, and refunds post within 1-3 further business days.
We do not cover return shipping for warranty returns. If your car burns or leaks oil, the amount missing during the return deducts from the refund. Other items do not need to be returned in their original packaging.
(12:22:46 PM) Me: oh.
(12:22:53 PM) Me: What about things like brake fluid?
(12:23:29 PM) Tanner Amoroso: Yes, it is the same procedure! As mentioned, the only items that are not covered under the lifetime replacement guarantee are the ones referenced above!
(12:23:48 PM) Me: my goodness.
(12:23:58 PM) Me: I shouldn’t shop anywhere else. I mean i rarely do but…
(12:24:06 PM) Tanner Amoroso: Our lifetime replacement covers every single part we sell, including wear-and-tear items like brake pads, spark plugs, gaskets, rotors, filters, belts, wiper blades, etc. This covers every part across every brand, including OE, OEM, genuine, performance, aftermarket, and re-manufactured parts.
(12:24:21 PM) Me: That I knew. but fluids I always thought was consumable.
(12:24:33 PM) Me: I guess technically if it’s changed out, it isn’t consumed, lol
(12:24:48 PM) Tanner Amoroso: As long as we get it back, we dispose of it properly and you get a refund for the second purchased kit!
(12:25:04 PM) Me: whoa.
(12:25:11 PM) Tanner Amoroso: Awesome right?
(12:25:18 PM) Me: Does it have to be an identical item.
(12:25:35 PM) Me: For instance if I bought brake fluid brand 1, and next time brake fluid 2
(12:25:39 PM) Tanner Amoroso: Yes, technically, but not necessarily……
(12:25:47 PM) Tanner Amoroso: You can certainly still use the Lifetime Warranty to change brands, but you’ll need to use the attached returns form instead of the site because the site portal won’t allow brand changes.The only difference in the process is that we’ll refund the original purchase price of the original brand instead of the new purchase price of the new brand. Effectively, you’re just paying the difference in price of the upgrade.

(12:26:04 PM) Me: that’s fine.
(12:26:19 PM) Me: Ok, how far back can i go back and do this?
(12:26:24 PM) Me: I didn’t realize this.
(12:26:39 PM) Me: And can I ship multiple items in different RMAs in one box?
(12:27:27 PM) Tanner Amoroso: The program started back in 2011 ( I believe ) As long as you follow the steps, we can have you covered. And yes! That is totally sufficient![/quote]
CoronitaParticipantWell I just found a way to save a a lot of money.FCP Euro had a lifetime replacement on all parts you buy. That I knew already. What I didn’t know is that it also applies to fluids and filters.
SO…The deal is that you change your oil, you buy new oil and filter, and then you ship the old oil and filter back and they refund you the original purchase price.
Now the caveat is you need to ship everything back 90 days and shipping is expensive…So it’s probably not worth paying to ship just a just of oil and 1 filter back…
BUT, in my case, I have 4 German cars so as long as I do all my maintenance all at the same time, I should be able to get lifetime oil, filter, brake rotors, brake pads , brake fluid, transmission fluid for free, minus shipping.also UPS shipping to the east coast isn’t bad. It’s $25 up to 80 lbs so long as the shipping container volume is equivalent to 12″*12″*12″.
So I’m watching YouTube videos on how to make custom size shipping boxes out of old boxes ,since to ship things back, I need longer but shorter boxes, but I don’t want to buy boxes.
See, this is why I don’t get bored. Lol.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Coronita][quote=scaredyclassic]i do worry way too much, according to my therapist.
But I reply, wouldnt you rather be a ukrainian with $2 million in assets than a ukrainian with $2,000? save your rubles, i say, disaster lurks everywhere.
the therapist tells me to relax and go have fun. enjoy life. it’s short, etc.
i see perfect bars at the store are up to $3.50 from $2.50 a few months ago. I vow never to eat another perfect bar. i rage about the possibilities for poverty.
therapist says, just eat a fucking perfect bar if you
want.i say I dont want to.
he says fine, dont fucking eat it. and rubles are worthless anyway.
(I’m paraphrasing)
(he’s a pretty good therapist)[/quote]
I like volunteering and spending my money on help kids in STEMs get what they need to do well at competitions. No kid who is motivated should be at a disadvantage simply because there is not enough money to be spent on basic tools needed to do well.[/quote]
that is nice. i need to think more of others and forget myself.
I like to shop at barons because it’s on the way home by bike. But apples cost a lot. Need to calculate out gas cost to Asian market, divide by time, factor in cost of wear and tearing the car.
Hmmm. Too complex[/quote]
It’s funny. I spent the last few hours agonizing over losing my e12 socket and having to spend $7 to buy a new e12.
But no issues dropping money on a new gear during competition when things unexpected broke. I think I’m getting close to break 5 digits soon. But to see kids light up and determined because you armed them with the tools to they need to compete is pretty compelling.
FWIW This team isnt one I’m affiliated with, but they are a great team. They need $25k for a CNC to better compete.

There are teams elsewhere that have several hundred thousands in grants in comparison….
