There are a LOT of areas in SD County with SFR’s <$250k. But they are not in the most desirable areas. They are not in areas that most people that live by the beach have probably ever been. You can get a totally rehabbed 3/2 1,200-1,500sf house built between the 1940's to 1970's for about $250k, and a 3/2 fixer for say $210k in these areas. -El Cajon -Santee -Lakeside -Old Chula Vista -Paradise Hills -Lemon Grove -Spring Valley -National City -Encanto -City Heights -SE San Diego -Oceanside -Vista -Escondido -San Ysidro -Many parts of the College area There are all more working class, blue collar areas. If you want to get into a white collar area with the very top schools, yes it is going to be $350,000 on the very, very low end for a fixer and more like $500,000 for a fixed up house. You can get condo's pretty much ANYWHERE for $250k or less. Even in places like Carlsbad, Scripps Ranch, Rancho Bernardo, Point Loma, PB, etc... And that is even 3/2 condos!

Yes penalize the banks for making some mistakes on documents. But I hope this country doesn’t continue to reward the idiots who signed up for more house than they could afford buy reducing their principles or giving them their homes back after foreclosure, and then continue to penalize people who PAY their bills and/or did NOT sign up for the $5,000/mo payment back in 2005 by keeping cheap homes off the market that they should be able to buy right now.

I’m so sick of homeowners blaming it on everyone but themselves for signing up for a payment they can’t afford. This whole new culture (encouraged by the Government) of blaming everyone but yourself and trying to weasal out of stuff on technicalities sickens me. Zero personal responsibility left.

Let’s get back to the 2 choices it’s always been, either pay your mortgage that you signed up for, or send the keys back to the bank and get out of the house. If you don’t pay, you should get your butt booted out of the house (with steel toed boots).

I’m in the market to buy right now and literally a few minutes ago I just called on a short sale listing and the listing agent told me the property is now going to trustee sale auction Monday because ***Wells Fargo is NOT doing any more extensions***. So this sounds like a trend.

One can only hope we are going to start moving back to some kind of sane free market normalcy and the banks will just foreclose if people don’t pay their mortgage. Just like the good old days.

“I also must have lift-serviced skiing within a couple of hours of my home, so Florida is out for me”

If you are talking about Big Bear, I wouldn’t even call that skiing. I would rather not ski at all than go to Big Bear.

You have a crushing 7 hour drive to get to Mammoth to get any real skiiing living in SD. With all the money you would save on housing in FL, you could just fly to REAL skiiing in Utah or CO 3-4 times a year! A flight from FL to Salt Lake is faster than driving to Mammoth.
