Scarlett
Participant[quote=flu]Heh, Scarlett, I was about to slam you on your views on GM….But thanks for pointing out you aren’t that person. Just kidding[/quote]
Heh-heh, I read those recent comments by Scarlet and I thought I should specify I am not he/she. Especially since Scarlet said some mean things to some people I happen to like on this forum…
I am very sorry I couldn’t make it to the meeting yesterday, I was out of town…

By large town-/twin-home I mean >1650 sf, 3 br+.
[/quote]I personally like (1) Crest Del Mar (2) Andalucia
[/quote]
I’ve heard about those 2 from other people that liked them too…I’d like to see those. One rental ad I saw about Andalucia put the sq ft at ~1400 which probably is not the largest…
[quote=flu]Townhomes have taken a huge plunge. It hasn’t just started, it’s been happening for some time.
Peak prices for a townhomes 3/3 1533-1584sqft were $630k+. Recent prices have been as low as $480k in the same complex.The majority of the larger size townhomes are 3/3 1533-1584sqft. I can’t personally predict how much further home prices fall, but I an personally waiting for something back to around the low 4’s, which at one point I thought was impossible, but seems to be more and more possible these days.

True, the majority of the larger ones are UNDER 1600 sf, and for my family (kids), I thought it will be too small. We would liked at least 1700 sf…(we have lived b4 in 1600 sf and it was a bit tight, but doable). I was about to give up until I saw some that had like 3 bdr+loft or even 4 br like Palmilla (which was smaller) or Pelagos (larger). Then I’ve found out about Antares and La Plage which seem to be on paper much larger (the largest floorplans). So I decided to narrow my search to those townhomes/twinhomes. No, I don’t want a converted apt., I want my 2 car garage and patio and no up/downstairs neighbors. And I prefer to be close to shopping and schools and parks… Fortunately lots of little parks in CV – I like that.
I would hope/expect that those larger townhomes to be in upper 400K, maybe low 500K for those close to 2000 sf (twinhomes like La Plage). I wanted to see what the opinion of the Piggs are….Participant[quote=flu]Heh, Scarlett, I was about to slam you on your views on GM….But thanks for pointing out you aren’t that person.

But, if the owning should be close enough to rent, then probably 500K would be the bottom. I agree with you that Mona Lisa should not have gone for much more than 500K. Thing is,
1) we are not at the bottom in CV yet, not by a long shot – but maybe we’ll get there in a year or two – and then perhaps a La Plage one will be 500K; and
2)there are not that many large townhomes on the market, right? demand and supply.Participant[quote=jpinpb]I posted this thread here before Mona Lisa. I had the same thought that 500k would be the max. But it went pending.[/quote]
