I would also take a Summerhill home for less money as well, but I do not see them going down yet to what we could afford. There are definitely nicer parts of VP than others, I agree.

I have only been inside the Summerhill model that has two bedrooms upstairs and an office down (approx 1600 sq ft) and know it would be too small for us in the long run. The homeowners seemed cramped with two kids there. I have not personally toured the larger models but suspect they would be perfect if the price eventually comes down to what we can afford.

I do like larger yards which are a plus in some of the older places.

The VP condos have really gone down though. We looked 1.5 years ago and the 3/ 2.5 models were listing for 499k and they are definitely not selling for close to that now. We are trying to wait for a sfr though.

2 years of saving should put us in a pretty good situation I hope, but then we will want to start a family and not be over-mortgaged.

I DID see that 499k! Hopefully we will see more of those in the near future. We really like certain areas of Village Park. There seems to be a lot of inventory sitting right now. I am surprised that Summerhill has not gone down that much, I like that area, but I think a better deal will be had with a sfr fixer in Village Park.

My husband and I are looking for a house in the Encinitas area as well and I have been diligently following the market for the past 1.5 years. We are looking for a sfr and have really seen some decent declines in village park/ park place area.

When we started looking we could not find a sfr in village park/ cambria etc under 600k. Now there are REO’s and short sales in the 500’s. We definitely do not care if its redone, we just see ourselves having kids in less than 2 years and don’t want to have to move from a condo to a larger place. Good luck and keep saving, that is what we are doing. It is tough though b/c we intend to move to another rental the end of May when our lease is up. Hopefully we can find something decent to possibly be in for another 2 years!

In terms of schools, I think that the public schools are pretty good in this area. My husband is a high school teacher in the San Dieguito School District and LOVES it and his students

I agree with the previous comments and want to add that the diswasher looks pretty old and shabby. They also might want to invest in door handles on the cabinets which make things look more pulled together.
