At appears that in certain market segments buyers are getting the benefit of ultra low interest rates and low prices. In theory there probably is a relationship between interest rates and prices but this sales history suggests that it is not likely to be linear.[/quote]

the key is certain market segments and locations. this has been an uneven bursting. with certain type of homes and certain locations still very much in bubble territory. while I agree with a lot of folks that it really boils down to personal choice, I think I would tweak it a little by saying it really boils down to personal flexibility. I got into it with the other sdr a couple of times already with couple of specific Carlsbad properties. bottom line of it is if a buyer is not flexible with their check list of criteria, expect to pay near bubble pricing.

but if someone is willing to be flexible and take a chance on newer communities in very good school districts, and the only fault the community has is it was built during the bubble era and therefore there is a lot of distress, I firmly believe this is the time to get in and that person will be handsomely rewarded for it in the future.

again this then goes back to personal choice. I for one just can’t bring myself to pay double the housing cost so I can be within 5 miles of the coast. others can’t imagine a life outside of that 5 mile boundary. If that is the case, I think renting is still quite a viable alternative.

This may be the ultimate reason why the argument gets so heated. everyone thinks they are right because truly, everyone is right. for that person’s personal preference and location, they have done the right thing by buying or renting. but by not figuring out where that person is and what type of property was purchased, an argument ensues.

can we please stop feeding the troll. clearly the account was created merely 10 hours ago just to generate this rather generic digital version of those signs we all see on the freeway on-ramp.

[quote=AN]Liberty Station schools is on the the same league as CV. Liberty Station schools are scoring worse than Mira Mesa. Liberty Station is far from a lot of the high tech jobs (SV/CV/UTC areas). So, put it simply, if you’re an engineering couple working in SV/CV/UTC area and want top schools, w/in 15 minutes from work, new and clean area. Liberty Station is definitely not on your radar.[/quote]

AN, I have to assume you meant LS schools is NOT the same league as CV.

High Tech high API 797
Torrey Pines 860
Canyon Crest 867
Mira Mesa 802

FYI: ziprealty now have a nice school district map that gives exact boundaries. quite a nice feature I must say. the line between PUSD and San Deiguitos is just east of the house in question and just west of Torrey Del Mar.

The schools are, I’m pretty sure, Poway school district. You hear they’re great, and I’m sure they’re fine. But I think they’ve overrated. Anyway, they’re not as good as the schools that you go to if you live in the more western parts of Carmel Valley.

In short, there are reasons the house is less than 600k. Which is not to say that it’s not worth it (nor that it is). Just a few observations.[/quote]

best way to find out if its poway schools would be this site:

http://powayusd.sdcoe.k12.ca.us/depts/bss/planning/addresslookup.asp

the address did not come up, so doubt it is within PUSD.

there’s another tract of larger true SFR further east (torrey del mar). they are PUSD.

2nd the concern for the fwy noise. there will be fwy noise. just factor that in as part of your personal equation about the house.
