Please give some examples where you can buy at or anywhere near pre-2001 levels in decent areas near or in Encinitas. Rents are at least 50% higher in those areas from 2001 -probably more. You can rent a crappy place in a crappy hood in Encinitas for $2k/month. And your neighbor has a meth habit and a pit bull.

DuckParticipantIs that only for purchases or can you do re-fi’s?
In the last couple days I’ve read comments from both Henry Paulsen and Warren Buffett saying the worst of the credit crunch is behind us. This may be further proof.

DuckParticipantTG,
You must have an Olympic size pool if you are budgeting $500/month for maintenance. I have a smallish one (about 30 feet by 18 ft) with a spa and we spend $100/month and that includes all the cleaning and chemicals. About twice a year we need a new filter and that doubles that month’s bill. Utility bill is virtually the same as our previous home even though the new home is about 20% larger and we didn’t have a pool in the othr home. We filter it about 5-6 hours per day. One thing I’ve loved, and it helps with the electricity bill, is that on days like today you can take a quick dip in the pool which is about 70 degrees and you feel cooled down so you don’t run the air conditioning inside. I’d say $200/month is a reasonable amount to budget. Not sure about parts going out, but our pool guy said the original owners spent quite a bit for high quality components so he didn’t think we need to do much over the 5+ years we intend to remain here. So far (3 years) so good.
