ParticipantSD Realtor. Thanks. I have always appreciated your posts and those of others and have gotten a lot out of this board and learned from everybody. The effort I put into my own posts is simply a reflection of what I get out of it as I am trying to give back what I get, to the extent my posts are useful to folks.
Once my wife decides to speak to me again, it may be a while, we will start looking for rentals. Not looking for the big house to rent. She does not want a place where I might feel too comfortable and want to stay longer than a year.

Participantvagabondo. Both my NorCal and SoCal agents will tell you I am a high maintainence client, but not a rude one. When I bought my current house with my current NorCal agent, I toured 60 homes and wrote 17 offers. We beat that easily this time, with both agents. That same NorCal agent is selling my current house. No I am not an agent.
fromnj. I have been down the build from scratch, remodel a tear down, etc path before and written about it a few times on this board and lets just say we have hired architects and contractors in the past and the only thing we will consider is a “project” house that needs work and perhaps an addition or two, but not a tear down or build from scratch. Building costs in SD are about half of what they are here, but that is but one factor for us.
And I don’t want to spend my max, just enough to get the house that will meet our needs in the area that we want.

ParticipantBobS. Thanks, nice, but that is above our price range. We run out of a comfortable down payment at $5M purchase price.
Obviously I will now be able to continue to save considerably each month and once I sell my current house, save a little bit more per month, but I don’t plan on ever going above my max of $5M, even if I could. If I can’t find our dream house for under $5M, there is something wrong with me. Heck, I should find it for under $4M. I found that you don’t get incrementally more house for the extra $$ you pay once you get to $4M or so.
I did get real close to becomming your neighbor on one house in Santaluz, but the seller and I reached a stalemate and his house remains unsold one month later.
