I am new to the Forums but I enjoy your posts. When I looked the properties at the StoneBridge a year ago, I backed out due to the location of the cummunity.

Howerver, after a year of searching homes around 4S, RB, Poway area. The homes in StoneBridge seem have better design and floorplan. There are huge.

I like plan3 home in IvyGate cummunity but there is none for sale.

One home at StoneBridge catchs my eye but it is a short sale. Don’t know if it worth the trouble. http://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Diego/11540-Edgewood-Pl-92131/home/12153083

Big home, big lot. Location still a concern (got two young kids and wife is working).

Appreciate your advise.

I am not sure how people use 5600 sqf home for just 4 people, but beware of $500+ utility bill, if you must have that much space.

For me, if I need 1400sqf space between each other, I might as well stay single. 1400sqf is what I had before for a 3 bed room condo and much bigger than my studio when I stared working in late 90’s. I don’t know what the point is to have a “family” if you need that much space to each other…

I am pretty sure when the kids get to 9 or 10 years old,given that much sqare footage in your house, they will all hide into their room after school and then soon in 2 -3 years, you won’t know who they are any more.

I personally won’t buy a house over 2800sft, unless they are $100K cheaper than the 2800sft. Yeap,you read it right, they have to be cheaper than the smaller house for me to consider buying it.

[quote=SD Realtor]He is selling his home. He wants to build another one after he sells. He has posted as such in another thread.

It doesn’t really matter though. The fundamental issue is that if there is going to be high inflation and dollars are worthless then getting tangible assets now for stronger dollars and/or significantly lower financing is something that should not be dismissed without thought.

[/quote]

Maybe you didn’t read all details in my post, because I did say his house dollar amount will be up if high inflation hit us. (mid term & macro economy)

But in the short term, with iraq war ending and cold war weapon orders drying up, we will see house price drop in San Diego. (short term local house price)

[quote=SD Realtor]”Yes, the dollar will worth less when high inflation comes, and double digit rate couldn’t stop the home price increase (as they hadn’t in 70s).”

Except that they absolutely did hurt the housing market in the early 80’s.

Again, you conveniently made no mention as to the effect on the new home that Ox wants to build from scratch.

That’s okay, we can agree to disagree.

huh ? I thought he is selling his “built” house for 929K ?
