Steady traffic on Saturday afternoon. Lots of young families. The opening release of 8 homes in early April is at the end of Carmel Mountain Road @ Timber Brook. While I like the location for low traffic and access to trails, the powerlines and distance to Sage Canyon/Park are deal killers for me. It will be some time (1 year?) until the lots around the models are released. The premium for new is still very high. By the time you pay for a good lot, upgrades/lanscaping, etc., you could probably have one of the many Belmont homes for sale which are signicantly larger.

Carmel Valley mediain only declined 2.9% in 2007. Is 2008 really going to be dramatically different? I just got my rent raised 12% so that may get me off the fence to buy this year. We’ll see how the new conforming loan limits and rates shake out in the next couple of months.

Thanks all for good input.

The other factors that impact my decision are whether or not to do an interest only loan and my tax bracket. I’m used to having over $40k of mortgage interest to deduct so my rent feels higher than a mortgage payment. My number crunching on the rent v. buy calculators puts me in better position with the $700k mortage as long as I don’t have to resell in the near future at a loss.

With lots of buyers waiting for Spring, it’s hard to see the houses I’m looking at being priced significantly lower in a few months, but who knows for sure.
