ParticipantWhen deciding where to live in San Diego there are many factors to consider. Sure, you can find homes in San Diego in less fireprone areas than RSF or 4S, but then you can have other problems that effect your daily life–old homes that have not been maintained (think: termites and mold) no CC&R’s–so your neighbor, can park his truck on his lawn if he wants to–high crime, gang activity, drugs, terrible schools, and the list goes on and on.
As I’ve mentioned before, we love Rancho Santa Fe, but that’s just our preference. If someone is happy with where they live, why do they really care where someone else chooses to live?
ParticipantWe have friends who bought in 4S last year, (not Pienza) and actually seemed to get a better deal than builders are offering now. Not really sure what’s going on with pricing at the moment, but I still wouldn’t hesitate to make an offer to the builder if you are serious. Get the name of the VP of Sales, or higher up, (that’s what our friends did) and present the offer directly to them, and see if you can make the deal you want.
As far as the fire concerns go, we own a home in Rancho Santa Fe, and we have fire concerns, too. Even some friends in Del Mar, Santaluz and the Crosby were evacuated during the past fires. If you can stand the traffic/long drive times and airport noise, you’d probably be better off buying in Carlsbad or Oceanside, if this concerns you. Personally, I’d never live north of Via de la Valle, or south of 56.

ParticipantFrankly, this article doesn’t come as much of a
surprise–realtors who made bad business decisions–what a shocker!!Would really be interesting to know what total percentage of foreclosures can be attributed to those in the real estate profession–sales people, lenders, etc.

ParticipantWe live in RSF, and in talking to people in the area who are selling, it seems there is a lot of repricing going on, and it does seem to be moving upward.
Our home falls at the high level of the price ranges you have mentioned in your posts, and there is still a great deal of demand for these premium properties, but as SD Realtor mentioned–it seems to be cyclical–but you never know.
As long as you don’t have a particular property in mind, I wouldn’t worry about it. Someone will always be selling.
