not that good…

7359 Rancho Catalina Trl
–it is amazing that this home is not only right next to high voltage power lines, but there’s actually a set of HVP lines right over a children’s playset on the side yard. a testimony to the bubble years where you could essentially build right underneath HVP lines and folks still came flocking.

14672 Rio Rancho
–same issue here, a little better as the HVP lines are just adjacent to the back yard, not actually overhead. a short sale as well.

17129 SAN ANTONIO ROSE CT
–foreclosure in the Crosby’s. price somewhat better, but I just can’t swallow the > $1000 HOA/MR.

7507 Garden
–foreclosure, with almost all base cabinets and appliances. still too pricey.

[quote=UCGal]Are you in the bottom of a canyon, or top of a mesa? If you’re at a high point, flood insurance seems pointless.

As far as earthquake insurance… more info is needed. What year was the house built? Building standards have changed through the years – but most of the earthquake standards were in place form the mid 80’s on.

And, how close are you to fault lines.

FWIW – we live on a mesa above a canyon and don’t have flood insurance. And since my husband did his “seismic retrofit” to our early 60’s house, we canceled the earthquake insurance. (He added sheer walls, increased foundation bolts and strapping between 1st/2nd floor, added diagonal bracing… brought it up to better than current code.) He did all this because we’re pretty close to the Rose Canyon fault.[/quote]

that’s interesting.

there are two issues when it comes to earthquake. immediate safety and post-event structural stability.

obviously what he did on your house significantly improved the immediate safety issue. And I would assume most homes in SD that’s built within the last 30 years will likely do just fine in regard to immediate safety.

but the ultimate question is what happens if there is structural problems following the event. are you saying chances of structural related issues will be almost nil if there is the type of “seismic retrofit” or if the home is relatively new?

there’s no question SD compared to the rest of SoCal is relatively safer given our distance to San Andreas, which is probably why the earthquake insurance is more of a question then a necessity. but in the back of my mind I do fear a catastrophic event that does end up causing structural damage, despite relative distance to any fault and the city label of “low to moderate risk.” is that just paranoia?

seriously, don’t hold your breath, I really doubt I’ll see it in my lifetime and I’m probably on the younger side on this board.

in essence you are saying complete gutting and remodel of the kitchen and bath.

I would say roughly $50k, +/- 20k depending on size and level of upgrades and contractors involved.
