ParticipantAK the one thing I can confirm for you is that it is SHEER LUNACY in the market right now. It is so far from where it was just 6 months ago that it is laughable. I am seeing no look offers, multiple offers, offers above bid. It makes no sense.

Participantluvsan lets take a step back for a moment. Let me ask you a few questions:
How long have you lived in San Diego?
Do your kids live with you or not?
If so will they be going to school while living with you?
What is more important, owning a home, or having a location that is more conducive for your kids?
Also, if you are recently divorced what is the rush to buy a home?
Now some answers… First off, anyone that is relocating should really consider holding off before buying a home. Unless they have previously lived in the area, I just do not recommend buying first and then getting to know the area second. That is like getting married on the second date. Second, I have a rental home not terribly far from there. From a pricing perspective yes the prices are not bad. However this is not where I would be thrilled to live. That is only me personally. It is not the greatest part of town. It is not a sh-t hole but given that there are so many great places to live in San Diego, I just think that if you are going to live here, there are much better places to investigate.
My recommendation would be that you should rent a place that you can afford while you get the feel for the city. Lots of different areas that you may like, even if it is to rent. Of course affordability is an entirely different question but I would tighten the reins a bit and check out other areas of interest.

ParticipantGeorge I think the snobbiness factor is not as much defined geographically. I live in Scripps and we run into snobs there all the time. Gimme a break it is Scripps freeking Ranch but some of the citizens think it is the Taj Mahal. I have found attitudes like that all over town, from CV, to RSF to La Costa… I could go on and on. I think that you kind of roll the dice in any of the more desireable communities around town. Basically the values that you instill in your children will be what carries them into adulthood. No matter where you live your kids will be exposed to kids who are … of questionable character and will not have the same values…. I think it is true that some of the more established communities that have longevity and character may also have wealthy citizens who are less concerned with exposing thier net worth which is good. I have met old surfers in places like Cardiff or Encinitas who are loaded and you would never know it. They are the nicest people in the world.
