Participant[quote=ybitz]don’t you wish you could get a crystal ball that shows you what the housing market will be like in 1 to 2 years? I’m in the market as well, but it makes me nervous to buy with such a large foreclosure looming in the background and talks of additional price falls. At the same time, I don’t want to wait years and years, but nor do I want to be a “sucker”. We piggs have it tough…we think too much! There are times when I think that if I were more blissfully ignorant to the market indicators, we’d probably be happy living in our new homes already.[/quote]
I agree. The more I know the less I feel like buying! I need to pick up a hobby, become ignorant again, and then maybe we can sit back and enjoy our new home.

ParticipantHere is my 2 cents. There are several studies that show there is no real change in academic performance of children going to private vs public. It always qualifies this statement by looking at children with similar income levels and parents educational level. Keep your retirement!!
My brother who sends his kids to one of the best schools in McClean Va hit the nail on the head when he said, “Aren’t we really sending our kids to school for socialization.”
I come from a family of 5 kids and we went to very average or below average schools. My dad has a PHD and my mom a masters. All 5 kids graduated with a 4 year degree. All three brothers have advanced degrees. Pediatric Specialist, PHD, and Masters in Information Systems.
My son attended pre-school at All Saints in UC and I was amazed at all the kids Curie sent back each year because they were not “ready for kindergarten”. IMHO Curie seemed to be a little obsessive about levels and being the best. Some of the parents seemed a little stressed.
If you are sending your kids to Curie and you are supplementing stuff after school. I think your kids will naturally be above the curve.
As for your friend. If the parents are off the charts smart. It is likely their children will be that way whether they send them to Carmel Valley or Poway. I think they should visit a few of the schools to get a feel for what works best with their idea of a school. I find you usually get a feeling beyond the scores that will tell you which is right for your family.

ParticipantFor me the $200,000 difference= save 10 minutes on driving, zip code pride, and a “better high school”
The last two don’t apply to me. Everything else is a wash.
Are there are moments when I would like to save the 10 minutes of driving? Yes! But not enough to have a mortgage that size.
We decided that traveling and saving are more important to us. We are heading to Costa Rica and Brazil this summer instead of looking at overpriced houses. It will take us 10 more minutes to the airport but we can afford to do things like that when we have affordable housing.
I hope people will view LCO and LCG as superior so we have fewer competitors when we make offers.
When I went through the LCO model homes they told me it was San Marcos school district? Is that correct?
