Participantren, that’s too broad of a question, I have a very small area that I’m looking at for a number of reasons that are particular to me so I cannot give advice on anything North of Rancho Cal because I don’t follow it. South of 79S is where my expertise is, I’ve looked at it all, seen it all built over the years and I have my faves but I’m a weird dude so don’t follow me. Your fairways choice is a good one and in my top 5, but it’s out of your sq ft parameters, 2550 is the smallest and it’s a 4br, smallest 5br is about 3000 sq ft minimum (sorry I’m not looking at 5 br so I cant quote you but their 2888 sq fter is a 4br), low br count and high sq ft is a theme in there with the exception of the small PUD lots in the East corner, it’s also something I like, keeps out the rif raf, but thats another story. Did you want my favorite specific tracts or developments overall? I don’t care about other bidders or competition right now, it’s still knife catching season, I’m tracking, not buying until at least the end of summer. BTW I know of a bunch of excellent choices in the 280-320k range for what you are looking for, but they are all repos and require a little work, cheapest sfr in the fairways is 314k and no golf course view. http://www.redfin.com/CA/Temecula/33123-Yucca-St-92592/home/6468980
Cheapest golf course view in redhawk was 289k, not gated, doesn’t have a tract name, not actually part of the redhwak hoa, but above the waterfall, it was a fill in tract. Backyard was tiny, the tubs and sinks were so dirty that replacement was probably easier than cleaning, but cheap for the area and location which is why it didn’t last 24 hours.

sold in one day, 2668 sq ft 4br, another example that you will need to adjust your sq ft numbers/bedroom ratio for this area in many cases, most 5br in the south start at 3000 sq
Marion, alley homes,low sq ft, high bedroom counts, sideways garages and tandem garages are the causes of cars on the street. Harveston is a mix of different stock, just look in the tracts without those attributes to avoid the cars, whenever you see a lot of cars on the street is can be traced back to one of the above but it usually is confined to that tract not the whole development. Find tracts with 3 car garages, all facing the street, with three car straight access driveways and over 2400 sq but onlt 3-4 br and you wont find cars on the street.

Participantren, the fairways is about $130 hoa, $100 for the fairways itself and $30 for redhawk, the taxes is more complex but not high by local standards. Depending on your purchase price it can be 1.4 to 1.8, the higher the sales price, the lower the rate because some of it above the 1% is not based on value, it’s a fixed price per lot per year, so it’s impossible to look at the taxes of a 600k house and cut it in half to figure the taxes on a 300k home, but it’s close enough. The non gated redhawk tracts are about $30 a month and Morgan is a little more than $100 but with higher taxes, however morgans amenities and clubhouse are the best in the South.
Marion, just pay the taxes and hoa, live in the place you like and the one that feels right. There are hoa people and non hoa people, you and I are hoa people, pretty landscaping that someone else maintains makes us happier than saving money, just accept it and find peace in it.

ParticipantNew is my vote but right now in your market marion, the builders are behind the repos as far as pricing goes, this may change. Rustico made some valid points, older homes are inefficient, poorly insulated, unfinished (no drywall) garages, low tech windows, some have galvanized steel pipes. Houses built after about 1998 in Temecula are a safer bet, avoid 1992-1997 builts in this area, absolute crap, there was no profit margin and corners were cut. Houses, like wines, have a vintage and each year is different. With a repo you will likely have similar expenses because flooring and landscaping needs replacement, with resale houses you’ll pay too much. I’m not nuts about wolf but it was an example you used, the builders are 50-100k over repos in their own tracts, this is going to hurt them and they will have to come down, all of wolf is upside down so the pressure will be there. Redhawk is older but the construction years vary, there is one tract still under construction on the last piece of premium land (hemmingway) and yesterday a repo came on the market for 329k, about 100k lower than new and it was dialed in as far as options go, probably lived in for a month, they are only on about the 30th house and the first ones are going under, they can’t keep that up much longer, on the other side of this bounce, look for 20% slashings at the builders.
