ParticipantThe nails were hit pretty well on the head by previous posters. Don’t take TV programs aimed to entertain at face value. For every Michael Phelps there are thousands of mediocre swimmers out there, yet you wouldn’t know it from casual media coverage.
Someone with brains, drive and charisma *can* make millions of dollars in real estate, even at a young age. But such a combination is rare, assuming it is legit.

ParticipantDel Mar is Nice. Carmel Valley sucks. It takes longer to get downtown from CV than it does from Poway.
Prices certainly have dropped, and buying has gone from “What, are you nuts?” to “Run the numbers, and look for a great deal”. In a year, once the economy is back on track there’s a good chance the worst of it will be behind us.
Given my pending graduation, I’ll probably be looking to buy in late ’09, once I’ve saved up a bit of a down payment. Should be a nice time to purchase!

ParticipantMan, I’m glad I’m still young and childless enough that at parties we mostly talk about dating, relationships, movies, books and politics rather than real estate! 🙂
I’m from Minnesota originally, and I’d move back in a heartbeat if the weather wasn’t so gosh darn cold. There’s also a lot more biotech out here than in the midwest. The non-CA biotech hotspots (Boston and Seattle for two) are pretty similar in terms of cost of living, but with worse weather. North Carolina is the hot, still fairly cheap area. I know one person who moved there from here, but he has family roots in that region of the country.
Thinking about leaving is one of those things that a lot of people talk about, and a few actually pull the trigger on. Most people need a compelling job offer in another city to actually go through a move, especially if they’re rooted by family.ParticipantMan, I’m glad I’m still young and childless enough that at parties we mostly talk about dating, relationships, movies, books and politics rather than real estate! 🙂

Especially once the Olympics and elections are over and the 24 hour news networks need something besides Football to talk about.
