At your budget you will find a little nicer/newer/larger homes in Mira Mesa than in PQ, from what I can see (I am also looking in both MM and PQ). Mira Mesa schools have become very good, many of them better actually than University City ones. The API scores are now close enough to the PQ ones.

North-West Mira Mesa around Calle Cristobal is especially nice area. It all depends what you want. Where do you have to commute to work? Do you have school-age kids?

You have to do some of the homework yourself. You can get a easy ballpark for each appliance – look in Sears or some other appliance store. Same for tub/sink/toilet. Go to Home Depot or something and look what you want.

What are the dimensions of the kitchen? A lot depends on the materials too. The numbers can vary quite a bit.

Oh, I was very lucky to have sold in the nick of time. I know that. I just wished I have discovered this awesome site earlier than 2007 :-). BTW, the townhome 1600 sf 3/2.5 we had was off I-15 and Pomerado – across from Lake Hodge, in Vista del Lago complex. I haven’t tracked sales for the same floorplan townhome in my complex, but I’ve seen listing prices more than 50K below of what we sold for. At the price we sold for we can buy now a nice detached home in the same complex with lower HOA.
I hope your finding is an indicator of more things like that to come – new lows – lower than the spring 2009 lows. That for me will tip the balance in favor of buying – even with higher rates which wiill still be pretty low.

Good job stockstrader. Where was your condo in RB?
We werent’ so lucky. Bought in 2004 a nice 3 bdr townhome with nice large yard and sold in 2007 for just 30K more than we bought – just enough for the realtor’s commission. With new addition to our family we decided we needed more space so we don’t save much money. Just commute time.
I think the time to buy for us is getting closer with the rates going higher and the prices declining further. We have to get to know the neighborhoods where we might find something we like and that takes time. I encourage you to do the same unless you already know well the area where you will be buying.
