ParticipantPretty accurate, BG. #2 choice, I don’t think I will. I’d rahter rent and have a better commute and/or school districts. Or buy a larger townhome; I’ve had a 1600 sf one, I rent a 1700 sf one and it’d work fine; yard would be nice, but I had one before and never got the time to enjoy it, though I landscaped it very nicely and it was a bit of work. I also think the prices for nicer properties in good school districts are still nuts, and then there’s pleny of demand on a relatively low inventory.
SD R, I don’t think I am really looking to buy for a long time. I am just poking around for 3 years now, not really wanting to move again. I bought in 2004, sold our townhome in 2007, and renting since then in UTC – with a wonderfully short commute. Yes, I am waiting for prices to fall. I got burned once, just got out in the nick of time. Much more cautious 2nd time around. Moving is a big pain and expense and waste of time.
Right now the incetive to buy is to not pay $2300 rent down the drain when we can pay a mortgage and maybe gain equity.
I have also a kid that’s entering kindergarten next Fall, which makes us consider moving in spring in an area where we’d be likely to buy – we kind of narrowed it down to PQ, CMR, and SR…It could be another rental, or we maybe get lucky and buy something. I am still considering continuing to rent where we are and let the kid go the Doyle Elementary in SDUSD, it’s an 8, but so what.

ParticipantYes, 2 car garage IS a requirement.
I don’t think the jets fly over there , I think it’s the traffic noise from Pomerado.
I agree with you on the HOAs comparisons.Timberlane is pretty close. One would need to look into the need for repainting and replacing the roofs and sides of the house – the HOAs could be raised there soon too, just like the other one and maybe just as much if it’s for the same purpose… That’s the problem with the HOAs.
Paging SD R … 🙂
