ParticipantI’m surprised you’re thinking about buying if you’ve been reading any of these blogs, why not wait so you can get a chance to check out San Diego or wait for the market to further decline? Now is not a good time to buy -however if you have to own a home for whatever reason, as others have suggested, move here and take a short term rental. Go month to month, etc. Why rush into something? Check out neighborhoods and then decide what makes sense for you and your family. Do schools matter, do you want a larger lot or bigger home? Do you travel a great deal for work? if so, you might want to split the difference between your job and the airport.
Its many people’s opinion that in the Carlsbad area, La Costa is a great location, nice neighborhood for families, and has some decent values compared to other areas of North County.

ParticipantCan anyone suggest a neighborhood in CV where there are larger lots than the Pardee developments off the 56? Having looked at the Santa Rosa and Arabella developments, the fact that the homes are brand new are attractive (along with being green), but the lots being so small, with the smallest backyards makes it unappealing.

ParticipantDesoto (the 130K home bsrsharma mentioned) is a lot different than say Highland Park in Dallas. Would be interesting to look at areas like Highland Park, Irving
The difference between San Diego and many of the major cities in TX, is that there has been quite a bit of business growth in TX – so for instance a lot of the home building done in San Antonio is fueled by a lot of the white collar growth in SA versus the traditional blue collar town that it has been historically. TX also has no state income tax. Other than that, TX is a HUGE state and wildly divergent, so its hard to compare TX as a state, just like its hard to compare SF to SD, or Bakersville to La Jolla. Austin demographics for instance are very different than SA even though they are only 1hr apart.

ParticipantI would agree with xironman about the job market compared to the east coast or many other major markets. Also, a lot of people from the east coast move out here and find San Diego too slow, lacking in culture, diversity, etc. People even get tired of the sunshine – they miss the seasons. Not my opinion, just what a lot of people from bigger cities complain about and therefore leave SD to go back east or move to SF, LA, etc.
I would move here and evaluate neighborhoods as well as whether you see yourself here for many years to come before buying.
