You know, I never get the can’t hang pictures, paint, plant things, put up curtains, or do anything to my rental comments.

Maybe it’s just me, but I just got done drilling 6 huge holes and 4 small ones in my (landlord’s) wall so I could install a swell LCD TV. I hang pictures of my family and art that I like.

Own it or rent it, I’m probably going to end up cleaning up the “damage” after I leave. At least I always have so far. On the house I sold, I had a couple of days of work based on what the buyers requested and I wouldn’t leave to the next owner even if they didn’t ask.

On the house I rented, it was a couple of hours, tops. Spackle and paint just ain’t that hard. Heck, I’d even painted a room and asked the owner if he wanted me to put it back to white. Instead, he said his wife liked the color and wondered if I could paint a few other rooms too–I told him the paint color.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of owning my own place again so I can truly do whatever I want. Tear out bathrooms and kitchens; piss away thousands and thousands of dollars–and love every minute of it. But it’s going to be a place that I love and I’m not going to get ripped off for it.

Million dollar tract homes, $700K fixers, give me a frickin’ break. I’ll continue to live in “terror” of my landlord for just a bit longer… and, oh yeah, in the best area I have ever lived since moving to San Diego.

we only needed less than a dozen folks

sdrealtor– I probably missed something in this thread, but where did you come up with that dozen number? Was that supposed to be the number of $700-$800K properties in 4S Ranch (or something)?

paramount– In your orginal post you said prices were not too much different over the last two years and then you come back with comparisons between summer and December, which is a mere 5 months if given the benefit of the doubt, but maybe you mean a year and 5 months.

Either way, I wouldn’t put a lot of stock into however it is that Standard Pacific comes up with prices. Those guys are idiots. Drive another 5 minutes and you can see all the wacky pricing they’ve done in Del Sur–up, down, down, up, whoops, down again. And all along, throwing in TVs, flooring, or not, whatever. Avaron is the biggest joke, check the ever changing stickers on their signs as you’re driving in. $1.2 million, $1.5, $1.1, $1.3.

Paramount– 4S has most certainly come down and will continue to do so. You must not have been tracking it that closely. I don’t follow condos, but I’m certain you can find them in the 400s and that’s still too much.

pnilesh– Assure your wife that the last thing you want to do with a new baby is get yourself trapped in a townhome that you can’t sell for what you paid into it. As soon as that baby can crawl, you’ll want a yard and more space.
