ParticipantI used to live essentially on the beach in Del Mar (10th street) and went there every day. When I lived in Carmel Valley, I went at least once or twice a week without fail.

On the few homes I am interested in in RSF I know what they last sold for, property taxes, additions, improvements, why they sold and why they are selling, on top of the usual statistics of their listing histories, relisting histories, price drops etc.
Now I am just trying to gather as much info on the neighborhoods as I can, beyond the typical demographics, school, CC&R’s, zoning regs, etc info; the insider stuff. Not that many folks standing up for Cielo, a few more for Santaluz. Everyone seems to love FBR. I think I now know more about FBR than the association does? Ok, maybe not, you can never know enough. But I think I may be able to pass a FBR entry exam now.

The conclusion is that they can afford to wait out the down turn and don’t need to sell. Well, I don’t need to buy either, not at their prices. Not in this market.

As for Cielo and Santaluz we do like the homes there, but have concerns about those communities in this market. One would think that some compensation could be lower prices, but not all sellers agree and are holding on to their asking prices, particularly in Santaluz. On a per square foot bases and taking into account Mello Roos and these risks Santaluz asking prices appear more inflated than FBR.
But we are looking for a long term purchase and those areas should recover from the downturn. Nonetheless, we are indeed not willing to pay as much as sellers want in Santaluz or Cielo and are more willing to pay closer to asking in established areas like FBR, RSF Farms, and Rancho Valencia.
Participantfsbo, very helpful. Thank you.
ParticipantA couple good ones I suppose. Not every window will face the court yard so you can have both. Most of what we saw were not complete wrap around courtyards or were entry courtyards with openings to common living areas. We also saw a few with seperate entrances to attached casistas. Very nice houses.
ParticipantSpanish Hacienda Courtyard style is absoultely our favorite style of house!
