My wife and I looked at this community and were impressed with the floorplans, but not with the steep HOA that really had no amenities. We’re more in the entry level market, so the smallest plan (2,077-sf) caught our eye. There is currently a bank owned on the market for $519,900, and the builder model fully furnished for $640k. I’m waiting for more foreclosures as well and anticipate the smaller plans to get down to the mid $400s. Also, half the community is in the La Mesa schools, while the other half is in the Spring Valley schools – definitely something to consider.

I went into escrow on one of the attached townhomes back in July, but canceled in October due to the continued collapse in the housing market. My deposit was onl $2,500, so we figured we’d roll the dice without much to lose. Got our deposit back, thankfully. The salespeople (Melissa) were very friendly through the whole experience.

The main drawback I saw was the unknown things the park across the street will bring. We went to the Sportsplex in Poway to check it out since it’s the same company building the one in Santee. Pretty nice place, but busy until late at night and the light towers made a serious ‘hum’.

Other than the unknown above, I really liked the community’s location and low HOA/tax rate/no mello roos.

I believe the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), backs deposits up to $100k…a very similar structure to the FDIC. You should be OK under $100k, as long as you feel comfortable relying on the government to get your money back if something happens.

If you’re looking for a move to a commercial bank, check out California Bank & Trust, a subsidiary of Zions Bancorp out of Utah (Nasdaq: ZION). I’m in private banking at CB&T and would be happy to help a fellow Pigg.
