I use 3% for inflation. I agree, I’d choose Poway over Escondido too for the same reason.[/quote]I use 2% since that seems like the historical norm. I also think it’s quite appropriate for this wacky decade too.

On CAR’s 10,000 sq. foot lot, I’d agree that is harder to find (generally anywhere), but I’ll bet she’d (she’s a she, right) take a swell house on an 8k lot in a heartbeat. Can’t really search with that anyway since a lot of listings don’t have it. I can totally appreciate looking for something that’s bigger than the damn house though. CV’s good for that. Million dollar houses with an 8 foot backyard. Whattheheck?

CA renter– you sound a lot like us. We really do have pretty reasonable criteria for how much money we’re willing to spend and we’ve also got a pretty broad search area.

We, too, are somewhat stuck on NCC, at least based on work proximity, some of our extracurricular activities and this one damn school we want to get our kids into, but we look elsewhere and that is probably one of the few compromises we’re willing to make.

I think we need to be careful with what we consider inflation since 2001. Also, I’d look to Poway first, better schools and in the eights you can probably get something pretty decent.

[quote=AN][quote=sdcellar][quote=AN]I guess that’s the downside of looking at only resale and have a very specific sets of criteria, it takes a long time to find one that you like at the price you like. Good luck to you CAR. Now I understand why you’re frustrated.[/quote]I’m not sensing that CA renter’s criteria is anything terribly picky. Nice houses (or even houses with good potential) are hard to find and still just too plain expensive.[/quote]
Single story on large non slope/non corner lot, 4+ bedrooms, (I assume) 2000+ sq-ft, in NCC, (I assume) under $700k. That seems pretty limited to me. There can’t possible be that many houses that fit those criteria.[/quote]If you excluded price, there’s nothing at all particularly unique about those criteria. So yes, price is the problem, but that doesn’t mean the prices are right, adjust that element of your criteria.
