WP,
We share the same hopes and dreams in life. We live the same lifestyle also. The open houses in LCV this weekend werent the best floorplans. I have original floorplans for every builder in my office. What you describe exists in a few neighborhoods there.

As for the schools, sure OPE has some snobbish folks but there are plenty of down to earth families there also. They used to have a real superiority cvomplex at that school because of test scores which were high because there is no multi-family housing in olivenhain which would tend to lower the average scores. With the building of LCV and LCO, Mission Estancia and ECC got the same favorable demographics and have been beating them since. With that said, OPE is a great school and some of my best friends have children there.

LCV has its share of stepford wives and some uppity folks but for the most part is pretty down to earth. Keep in mind that when built in 1999, many of these homes sold at or below $400,000. The community is still full of teachers, firefighters, forest rangers, small business owners, professional salesguys, engineers and regular old techies. The uppity folks tend to live in the higher end neighborhoods and/or are not original owners. There are still tons of orignal owners there with plans to stay until their rugrats graduate high school/college.

If you want, you can email me personal questions at [email protected]. Its a separate email I set up a while back for anonymous conversations. I dont check it often, so let me know you sent something here and I will be sure to respond.

As usual JW has his head up his……

Cant speak for the other 2 but I’d rather do more transactions at lower price points than fewer transactions at higher prices. I know I enjoyed the business more than it was that way.

I think it goes without saying that you are as big a dope as JW if you dont take whatever ANYONE posts here with a healthy dose of skepticsm and critical thinking. (Oh well, I guess I just said it).

waitingpatiently,
You are looking in my backyard (actually your kids would love my backyard) and I own exactly what you are looking for. I would venture to guess that there is no one in this area (agents or otherwise) that knows that area better and has been more on target with predictions for this area over the last 5 years (both up and down). For the record, I have been on this site over 2 years. I pointed out a peak 950K for a decent newer 4/3 with 2500 to 3000 sq ft a couple years and called for a 30% fall bringing these homes down to about 675K at the bottom which I predicted would come between 2010 and 2012. So far everything has proceeded exactly as I expected. No one has stuck their neck out further than I with specific predictions for a specific area.

With luck you could get a decent newer 4/3 with at least 2500 sq ft and everything you are looking for between 775K and 800K today which you already know. Next Spring, I believe it will be possible to find that for 750K. Beyond that it will all get dicey as the last 50K to 75K bleeds out between late 2009 and 2012.

The real problem will be finding the home you want at those price levels and not just any house. Demand would be very high for homes like this if prices dip below 700K. Lowballing will get you a house but it might not get you the one you seek. IMO, Getting the one you really want will take the ability to recognize the right one and the willingness to strike when you find it.

All this of course is just my opinion. Take it for what its worth……………
