2951 WINDING FENCE WAY, Chula Vista, CA 91914**

It’s a little smaller then what we are looking for and we don’t like the ranch style, we like the Spanish. There are more pictures on zillow from a prior listing. The original sale price for this home was in the high 900k (I think 984K) and I believe that’s before they did all the hardscape and pool. We are very picky buyers and are looking for the right home with the right lot. I know at this point in the market we will see some more downward pressure on prices and I’m willing to lose some equity since we are planing on staying for a long time. It’s also expensive to renovate larger homes if you don’t like the existing options. You could spend 200K easy in renovations including hardscape. So I don’t mind losing 100k or so in equity if we find the right house with the right options. Also this view is one of the best in Chula Vista (Chula Juana as some of you call it). For those of you that don’t know, this area of Chula Visa is called Rolling Hills. Rolling Hills if one of the only areas in Chula Vista that doesn’t have Mello Roos, so there is a premium for this area.

Thanks for everyones comments. I’m working with a relative as my broker and he likes to go by the book. This deal was a bank repo, so I wasn’t sure if I had any way out other then loan contingency. I knew I could get out of the deal, but I just wanted to find a way out without stressing out my broker/relative.
The funny thing is I made an offer 20K above list and just found out that there were 8 offers (including a cash offer @ list) and I didn’t get the property. There wasn’t even a counter. This is the 4th house in a row that I’ve have been out bidded. This last house had about 90% of what we were looking for so my wife changed her mind. There is still a lot of demand for nice properties at the right price. These homes were about 30-45% off peak pricing. When these homes close/record, these will be the new comp killers for their neighborhoods.

Wow, Montemar for 639K. I have a price sheet from July 07. These are the prices from July 07:
Plan 1 798K, 4150sqft
Plan 2 802K, 4250sqft
Plan 3 785K, 4450-4700sqft
These are the starting prices just 5 months ago.
Homes available at the time:
Lot 47 948K plan 1 many upgrades
Lot 50 814K sold
Lot 66 802K Plan 2 no upgrades
Lot 51 864K plan 3 some upgrades
Lot 49 864K Plan 3 some upgrades
Lot 63 785K Plan 3 no upgrades/still in building stages and buyer can still choose upgrades.
The sales person did say that there was some wiggle room, but not much. I think 200K is a lot of wiggle room.
Montemar is a nice house, not a good neighborhood.

Indian Tandor and The Thai place are both very good. The Filipino BBQ is pretty good also.
