ParticipantReading the October 2015 housing data report from Rich, one of the comments about limited inventory reminded me I wanted to clarify some misconceptions about Arrowood. We sold our Vista home and moved to Arrowood a few months ago and are very happy. The “ghetto” comments are complete garbage, the neighborhood is very isolated from the old oceanside neighborhood a few miles down the road. I almost didn’t buy here based on some the remarks on this site. As a resident I can say it is an amazing family oriented community with some great deals. There are kids outside playing everywhere, almost all the neighbors know each other are tend to be very friendly. The elementary school Bonsall West is part of Fallbrook’s district and is rated 9 out of 10. I am not sure if there are people looking for a family community on here but I just wanted to clarify some of the misconceptions. Sure it is not Carmel Valley or Encinitas but for a young family not wanting to break the bank in North county it is a great option offering some great amenities.
ParticipantInventory is making the market very difficult. I been looking for the last few months and after a busy summer season what appears to be left is the “cream of the crap”. People who are un-motivated, unrealistic, or some other glaring red flag. Take for instance my most recent encounter. We placed an offer on a condo we felt would cash flow with the plan of living in it for 4-5 years initially. The property had been on the market for roughly 50 plus days. After making a strong offer (comparable to comps that had been sold in last month which were highly upgraded in comparison) we received a “multiple counter”. According to the listing agent the seller received an additional offer at “close to full price” with in 6 hours of ours, after the property had sat on the market for over 50 days. I called bullshit, since why would anyone if they received a “close to full price” offer turn around and counter both parties at full price, especially when the property is overpriced? If I am the seller the logical choice is to go with the much higher offer right?

I sold my house in Vista in June to try and get into a better school district before my daughter starts kindergarten. Based on the current market I think many like myself are content to rent.
