I don’t think the constitution says you have to pay taxes to retain the rights protected therein.

They are, if I recall, unalienable.

Thanks Nissan Leaf[/quote]

I hadn’t noticed it either.

Thanks, Clairemont, for being so close to everything.

Yes… a little downward pressure and more choices as sellers reluctantly put houses on the market.[/quote]

Pretty soon people may actually make housing decisions (buyers and sellers) based on when it is the right time for them rather than worrying about the direction of the market.

Not everyone in CV is like that. The good side of it is, there are alot of people who really just want their kids to be in a good school. Anywhere I go, I expect to not like about 90% of the people anyway so I tend to focus on the 10% I do like because those are the ones I’ll choose to spend time with.

Design-wise, I’m not fond of CV at all but we are seeing things we don’t hate that we can afford.

I wasn’t suggesting you shop in CV, but rather make sure you are offering / paying a price that makes sense and use comps to justifying your offer.

But, if it is good schools you are looking for, CV is the place.

Also, there is just something about the design of the home that seems not right to me. Can’t put my finger on it.

I see it this way. I just think there is some natural turnover in any part of town. From Carmel Valley, I think empty-nesters and divorcees are those who find it is time to sell and go somewhere else. They aren’t distressed sales, but just time to sell. So, I think they have been waiting for the market to turn up but it isn’t really going anywhere.

It is bouncing around in a fixed range and will be for some time. I think brian said it best – they are losing patience. These sellers are ready to take an offer at the current market value to get to where they want to go next. Plus, they have had some time to get used to the idea of taking a hit and realith may sink in a bit. Maybe they have even saved up some cash so the pain of a short sale or loss isn’t as acute. Maybe they take the pain to find a better place.

This scenario doesn’t mean plummetting prices, but it means a little downward pressure.

I think the redfin sold vs. asking price per sq. ft for 92130 agrees with you.

I have always liked that area.It is low enough that the freeway noise is limited, but close to all that San Diego has to offer. A step-up from Clairemont.

The tall ceilings seem odd to me for such a small room.

Not sure if “figuring out middle and high school later” works into your “next 20 yrs.” plan.

It seems overpriced at #311 / sq. ft. to me. Parents will have to decide if they want 2200 sq. ft in a “take your chances” school district or a 2000 sq. ft house in the best district, or a 2200 sq. ft house in the best district with a smaller lot.

Try a recent sold search in redfin with houses between 1750 and 2250 in 92130.

[quote=pri_dk]Not all debt is “bad,” and using debt to finance the right investments can actually lead to a better long-term outcome than not using debt.[/quote]

Right, but if you borrow against a depreciating asset, that is a “bad” investment unless the investment grows faster than interest plus the asset reduction. Borrowing against a house in a growing bubble in order to buy consumer goods that don’t return any thing on their investment is bad debt, decidedly increases GDP in the short term and sets up for a matching reduction in GDP later.

Nobody really gives a crap about the absolute value of GDP, which is why you never see anyone report it and why pretty much everyone but you knew davelj meant growth. Theoretically, GDP growth has to keep up with population growth to keep the quality of life constant.

My only complaint about this thread is that it is listed as Off-topic.

[sdduuuude]

Hey, if it is privately funded, I’m all for whatever the heck they want to put there. If the taxpayers are footing the bill, I’m thinking they may want to buy-down some debt instead.

You don’t think proven voter fraud affects our economy and housing market? I’m curious why that wouldn’t be the most important thing?[/quote]

I don’t think this post adds to anyone’s insight into the housing market or the economy.

It’s a self-serving political post. Nothing more.

It would be interesting to see test scores of the parents at these schools …[/quote]

I’d just love to see them try to test the parents. LOL.[/quote]

If I had a school, it would be part of the entrance requirements. But it’d be more of a personality test.
