Just as a side comment, and no statistical significance to this, but up in Sky Ranch in Santee, I’ve seen a lot of activity with people scoping out the lots and new homes. Lot’s of people have been driving around to check things out. Maybe this is also because the 52 opens up this month, and they see light at the end of the tunnel for a shorter commute if they bought up here.

New homes have been selling well up here. The last high end, EaglePoint phase will start this month, there are only 3-4 condos in Northstar left, and Crestview is about to release a new phase. For East County / Santee, I’d say it’s been pretty active so far this month.

Here is one recent closing:

ocrenter,

I understand your points, but just a few things that you are assuming:

1.) Someone is looking for a good, public school district. Many of the owners up here send their kids to Christian or Catholic schools or home school, and aren’t concerned about “buying into” a good school district. Also, several owners are older and empty nesters and aren’t concerned about this.

2.) People don’t mind paying Mello Roos. Most if not all of the homes in 4S Ranch charge some type of Mello Roos in addition to their mortgage. There is no Mello Roos in Sky Ranch.

3.) People don’t want to live in Santee or East County. On the contrary, many people have family out here or have jobs out here, which makes living in Sky Ranch very convienent.

Overall, I’m just saying that not everyone is looking to live in 4S Ranch. There is demand for new housing in East County / Santee. It may not be the large demand that you see in RB or CV, but it does exist.

Why else would NorthStar condos be almost sold out (3 or 4 condos left out of approx. 200) Why else would EaglePointe be almost sold out, with the last phase release this month, and they already have high demand for the last phase. Why else would Crestview homes be selling very well?

Not everyone is sold on living in 4S too, because those homes were all built during the boom, when people were taking part in lotteries just to get a house. Now, the 4S area is very concerned about foreclosesures and competing with those home sales and decreased values. Why else does it have the nickname, 4Closure Ranch??

Sky Ranch is newer, 2008-2009, and was already severly discounted to match the current market. Once these homes sell out, it will be tough for many to buy up here, for those people who demand a nice home in Santee.

Sure, the $400-$500k range is key for most of Santee. Many nice but old homes sell in this range in other areas of Santee, but for living on Rattlesnake Mountain in a new community, you will pay a premium over that, putting you in the $500-$600k range.

And to your point about there not being many 4,000 sq. ft. homes in Santee is EXACTLY my point, supply and demand, ECON 101! Sky Ranch offers this to those who want it, and the mountain is significantly seperated that it can exist amoung the middle to lower end housing throughout the area.

PS – Have you seen the new EaglePointe homes going for around $650 and the large home sites with great views? These are very nice homes.

kcal09,

Let’s see where this one closes, and this will give you a good idea for demand for higher end Santee homes in East County.

http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-110013145-7078_Mariposa_St_Santee_CA_92071

Crestview homes in the $500k to $550k range are selling strong, and the EaglePoint Final Phase Release is Saturday, March 19th.

So, no matter how people feel about “Santee”, there is good demand for homes up in Sky Ranch.

The 52 will open this month. Grand Opening celebration is Saturday, March 19, with the official opening on either Saturday, March 26 or Sunday, March 27.

I bet this will only help, as most people are wait and see, kind of people, so until it’s done and they can drive the new 52, they won’t believe it. When they do drive it, they’ll realize that they can get a nice new home, with convienent shopping, with a great view, and they will deal with the “country” Santee feel.

Plus, Santee is opening up a cable ski park, they’ve open already the new Sports park, they have a Costco, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Olive Garden, Chili’s, Barnes & Noble, Bed Bath & Beyond, Old Navy, Best Buy.

Just heard the city put in for redevelopment funds for Prospect Avenue, which they want to remove and redevelop all but approximately 20% of the current structures. This seems to be a no brainer for anyone who has driven down Prospect. It’s a major street that could be easily cleaned up.

I’m just sayin, but Santee has come a long way from years ago. I think it’s all due to the 52, as many people see that this helps the commute. Now with the additional extension opening, you’ll see more people saying, hey that drive isn’t so bad, and again, I get a new house for less! FYI – No Mello Roos either!

As a side note, HomeFed Corp. of Carlsbad bought the Fanita Ranch project. Just think what this will do to Santee as far as new homes once it gets started! Plus, the city will have more tax revenue to push more redevelopment and growth.
