Participantknow the vista del lago complex on the foothill of battle mountain pretty well as we did live there in the past. Caminito Cantilena homes are on the freeway side. Caminito Pasadero are on the Pomerado side. Some of the Caminito Cantilena homes are really bad in that they get noise from Pomerado AND I-15!! On the other hand, there are some Caminito Pasadero that are quite insulated with at least a few rows of homes buffering Pomerado noise.
we use to walk loops around the complex at night and the difference is quite stunning.
here’s an example of a few sales:
18950 Caminito Cantilena 1861 sqft
–5/2010: $512k18771 Caminito Pasadero 1869 sqft
–3/2010: $531k18791 Caminito Pasadero 1800 sqft
–7/2010: $500kdoesn’t seem like the noise really make that much of a price difference. unless the Cantilena house was really upgraded. even if there is a price difference, I doubt it will ever make up for the noise. bottom line, try to avoid the freeway noise as much as possible.

We spent $1 trillion on the war (what’s the real amount? I don’t keep track anymore).
Had we given it some time and contained Saddam, the Iraqi people would have overthrown the dictator themselves; and thousands would not have died in vain.[/quote]
I was thinking the same thoughts this morning as well. If you’re thinking it, and I’m thinking it… a lot of people are probably thinking along the same line as well.

Participantthis is not JP’s house, but I think it illustrates my point.
let’s take a recently closed UTC home 4318 Cozzens, 2687 sqft, closed for $685k.
going back to 2000, there’s couple of homes a block away:
4224 Karensue Ave, 2100 sqft sold for $432,000
5986 Karensue Ln, 3000 sqft sold for $550,000
since the sqft of the subject home is smack in the middle of these two, let’s just average them out to a year 2000 price of 491k.
interest rate back in the days was 8%, at 3.5% down, monthly mortgage was $3470.
moving forward to 2011, at 4.25% and 3.5% down, monthly is $3200.
not saying the folks that purchased in 2000 can’t just refi to a lower rate now, but back in the days they committed to that purchase at that monthly carrying cost probably without realizing interest rate would get so low in the future.
just remember what the government is trying to do, suppress interest rate, bring down value of the dollar, in order to artificially keep prices “up.” so you do not see nominal drops. But the drops are here. via inflation adjustment and the fact that JP is able to find a 3% down 30 year fixed loan for 4.25%.
