Several areas in South Carlsbad have reasonable mello roos ($400 to 800 per year). They include all the newer neighborhoods south of La Costa Avenue. La Costa Valley, Sonata, Santa Fe Trails, Arroyo Vista, Tiburon, Villagio, Summerwalk to name a few.[/quote]Thanks for the info sd. Anything in Encinitas?

Participant[quote=svelte]I don’t quite understand the total refusal to consider Mello-Roos. [/quote]
I was asking about areas w/ low mello roos in Carlsbad and Encinitas.
[quote=svelte]So, no, the money is not “down the drain” if you know how to do the conversion factor from apples to oranges and don’t overpay for the house.
[/quote]It is too down the drain. You never see the money again. It’s not like you’re putting money into the house that you’ll get back when you sell. Whether or not you get a better deal on the house b/c it has mello roos is a seperate issue. I rarely see the cost of the house balance out the fee, but that’s why I’m looking for areas w/ low mello and HOA.

Practically speaking, this year is just such a crap shoot. Why not wait until we see in which direction everything is going? There are a lot of pretty reliable sources predicting some pretty dire scenarios in the next year.
I’d love to quit renting and buy another house this year too. I really want a stable home for my kids, but things are just too unpredictable right now.
We may end up moving to a nicer rental this year if anything. -
