Participant[quote=zzz]rired, you are going to want to listen to the advice of sdr, SD R, flu and others who live in north county because that is where you are going to find your good public schools, larger lots, and a home that fits your desires.
we have friends who send their kids to cathedral, so you might also want to take a tour of the schools when you are out here next.[/quote]
+1 on what zzz wrote. Re-read sdr, SD R, and flu wrote. PM them if you have any question; they are really knowledgeable on what I think you are looking for.
My two cents are if you are allergic to traffic and you need to commute south (downtown) for work; you might want to look into areas south of 56 in Carmel Valley. FYI, if you have any question, flu knows that area very very well.
Participant[quote=bearishgurl][quote=sdrealtor]If you haven’t bid on, won and closed on a house in the last 30 to 60 days you are operating on yesterday’s news. It was what it was. It ain’t anymore. It is what it is.
How is that for a gaggle of cliches?[/quote]
Yes, I also believe that submarkets can change on a dime. They can also fall in popularity on a dime. That dime is only as shiny as the nearby job market is stable and lucrative.
MM is only “semi-hot” today because of nearby well-paying jobs. There are really no other “redeeming qualities” in MM construction over and above other SD County submarkets. If companies close to MM should relocate or decide to import H1B workers instead, MM will fall in value commensurate.[/quote]
bearishgurl, MM is close to the home of one of the biggest and successful company in the world is one redeeming quality you CANNOT ignore. In addition, MM is located closed to the freeway, beach, and fairly close to the other job centers in San Diego, i.e, UTC. Isn’t real estate is always about “location, location, and location”? Really, who care if is there any “redeeming qualities” in MM construction? You are NOT buying a house in San Marino or South Pasadena. You are buying a house in MM! No offense to those of you who own in MM.
Participant[quote=flu]Not really… This community featured is Saratoga/ Derby Hills…. One of the most sought after areas.[/quote]
Carriage Run is about 5% within its peak pricing, too.
Participant[quote=cvrentguy]Plan 1 Model Home at Carriage Run still shows as available for $799500 on Pardee’s move-in ready homes page. Did they not update if it is already sold for $760 K ?

http://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Diego/4888-Carriage-Run-Dr-92130/home/12154271
It has sold for $760k.
Participant[quote=zk]Torrey hills is nice. You might also want to consider the communities immediately adjacent to the east. Carriage Run has some (relatively) affordable homes, and they’re almost new. Steeplechase is a bit older, but nice. It’s an extra 2 or 3 minutes from SV to Steeplechase (compared to torrey hills) but it’s 2 or 3 minutes closer to the middle school and the high school.
Busy is a relative term, but I’d say CM road is pretty noisy and busy.[/quote]
Carriage Run is nice, but the pricing is really really confusing. I have seen the pricing for plan 1 range from low 600 to mid 800s. FYI, the former model model houses for plan 1, 2, 3 sold for $760k, $835k, and $863k respectively.
Participant[quote=zk]I’m curious what you don’t like about Steeplechase (and maybe the OP could learn something from our conversation). We rented a Steeplechase for 5 years and we really liked it. Some of their floor plans are a bit funky, but we liked the one we had (I think it was a plan 3 with a loft – it was 2520 sf). The location was good. There’s a canyon lot Steeplechase available now (2259 sf) for 899k. That’s about as cheap as you’re going to get a SFH on the canyon in CV.

I don’t understand what’s wrong with Steeplechase either. At $400/SQFT, isn’t this house is on the expensive side? There are couple of non-canyon lot that were sold this year for around $850K and it’s 2500+ SQFT.

Another “masterpiece” from the same flipper.
November 13, 2011 at 9:19 PM in reply to: CA Revenue comes in 6.5% lower than expected (and some common sense solutions) #732869ParticipantYou still don’t get it, don’t you? Just because others are being hypocrites does NOT legitimize you being one. Your argument is weak.
November 13, 2011 at 6:49 PM in reply to: CA Revenue comes in 6.5% lower than expected (and some common sense solutions) #732863Participant[quote=AN][quote=DomoArigato]Of course I hate the finance industry. Every right-thinking, patriotic American hates the finance industry.
I keep all my 401(k) money in a passively-managed index fund which minimizes the amount of my money that goes to the finance industry. I use credit unions, not banks. I donate to OccupyWallStreet as well as media organizations like the Real News Network which help to expose crimes committed by those in the finance industry. I’m not working for the government because I believe I can make more in private industry.
If every American did what I do, Government Sachs, JP Morgan, Bank of America, and all of the other TBTF organizations would not exist.
My actions are consistent with my words and beliefs. Contrast my actions and words with those of EconProf who continues to accept his monthly pension checks while fighting to eliminate government pensions for current government employees. EconProf’s actions are not consistent with his words. If he were truly concerned about the California government deficit, he would reject his pension so as to help reduce the California state deficit.[/quote]
As you just stated, passively-managed index fund does own stocks of financial industry. So, you’re feeding the beast.You donate to OWS, which mean you’re against the 1%, right? Aren’t you working for the 1%? Aren’t you contributing to making that 1% richer?
AFAIK, we all operate under certain level of hypocrisy. Different people live under different level of hypocrisy, but to say you’re living free of hypocrisy is a very tall order and is quite hard to believe. I don’t know if anyone that’s righteous enough to give up free money. A long the same line of Buffett asking to be taxed more, but then go around and taking all sort of deduction and not sending him more of his money to the IRS.[/quote]
Just want to point out the level of hypocrisy that EconProf exhibit is very typical among the so-called conservative, free market folks. And to see the same idealogues come out and somehow justify this type of behavior is utterly disgusting. Too bad we can’t test if you are intellectual dishonest and morally bankrupt in a test. End rant.

Is this a good deal? The house next door sold for over $1 million in 2005.
