ParticipantYup, renting is a PITA, and most folks with families in their 30’s and older know it all to well. That’s partly why prices in good areas are sticky coming down.

ParticipantI’d love to have a tape recorder at the Bressi pool. I bet that conversation happens 5 times a day there.
Heck, $450 a month just for MR’s and association dues in that place for one of the average homes, ouch.

ParticipantLa Costa Greens is almost entirely on the San Marcos School District. Why not just buy in San Elijo for $200k less? Oh yeah, sorry, you just have to have that ‘Carlsbad’ address….silly

Did you say that an appraisal will max out at the purchase price? In other words, if the agreed upon price is $750k, but in your honest opinion, based upon recent comps and everything else, it’s worth $780k, the appraisal would still come in at $750k? How come? I’m interested in this…thanks

ParticipantNow is a horrible time to buy…
Well, I suppose if you are renting, and don’t mind it, maybe buying now is not the best. But if you have no interest in renting (like many families), and you are doing more or less a lateral to get maybe another bedroom, I don’t see the big mistake in selling and then buying now, if you find a decent deal at this point in time.

ParticipantWhat the @#$%? I assume your agent is getting the 2-3% buyer’s agent commission from the seller in the deal, correct? Now they want to charge you a fee for a ‘transaction coordinator’??? Unbelievable. The real heavyweight paperwork is done by the escrow company, not by the re agent’s office. Not only should you not pay it, you should go to a discount buyer’s agent and get a rebate of part of the commission the seller is paying.
Again, unfriggginbelievable.

ParticipantI second Bugs, unless you have 900sf in Birdrock on a big lot that you want to turn into your dreamhome, it’s not worth the stress and expense. Sit tight, and buy what you want when you are comfortable with the state of market. Just remember though that when the market bottoms for your move-up house, it’s probably bottoming for your house too….thus unless there is a market timing rental in between, except for a little larger tax bill, it’s six in one — half dozen in the other, if you are just rolling over your equity…
