I also mentioned that $1MM probably wouldn’t get us the house/lot we would want in La Jolla. We’d much rather take that money and buy something nicer further inland as well.[/quote]I’ve tried to do search for the reverse, look for a comparable home near the coast. First it is a lot harder to find and in general at least $1 million more than my current appraised value. Not worth it at all IMHO.

The marine layer along the coast would be a bummer to deal with as well; and we *like* cool weather. Some years, you can get 7-8 months a year with almost no sun. That gets old pretty quickly.[/quote]a bit of a threadjack (appologize in advance)…
it isn’t just the 7-8 months of marine layer, but the duration of it. we were at Seaworld the other day and it was at noontime and the sun was still nowhere to be found…

But that still prove flu’s point that $1M, although we all would be grateful, doesn’t go very far today in SD.[/quote]I’m not sure exactly what his point is.
Is it that $1M does not buy the ultimate house in San Diego with all the amenities that people might want? I’d expect that to be self-evident.

I did mention the limitation of $ 1million earlier as well. my original point is that if you want the perfect coastal location at $1 million, there are a lot of sacrifices in amenities.
whereas for $ 1 million, one can get a place with good schools in north county inland with all of the usual amenities one would desire.
using $1 million as baseline, to move from locations in north county inland like Poway/Scripps/RB/4S to coastal areas, depending on location, we could be looking at reduction in 1000-2000 sqft, a near fixer instead of fully updated, a pool vs not, or a good 1/2 acre vs small typical 10k lots.
for a lot of folks, that means the 20-30 minutes drive to the beach is a decent trade off to get all of the amenities mentioned above.

Participantagree most folks would want to live by the coast if money is no object.
however, $1 million really would not do.
I would have to downgrade significantly from my current house and attached amenities to try to fit into that $1 million budget along the coast.
Plus then I’ll have to deal with the marine layer that seem to stay until noon at times.
not to say I don’t like the coast, but to stay within the $1 million price restrain, I’ll stay put in the “inland.”
