    Tell me about Oceanside

    Housing seems much cheaper there. What is the community like? It is just south of Camp Pendelton in Northern San Diego county. It seems you can get a place within walking distance to a beach for much less than around here. But I've never actually been there. Any comments would be...

    Turtle Rock - last holdout for dropping prices?

    I'm not aware of any instances of houses in Turtle Rock going down in price, even since 2005/2006. There's not a lot of turn over there, so there may not be many data points. Has anyone seen falling prices in TR? Why is it the last hold out? Prices seem to be dropping everywhere else.

    If rent is $4200/month, what would you say the place is worth?

    I know that there is a big difference between what a place SHOULD be worth if the rent is $4200 and what the place is actually selling for. From what I see, $4200 monthly rent gets you a place that is selling (or at listing) for about $1.3 million. I also see a house renting for $3500 per...

    A good web site for free OC home searches: realty.wgcs.com (no www)

    <p>I've looked at lots of free sites. redfin and remax aren't bad. But I think this web site (realty.wgcs.com) is better because it shows you days on market (DOM), previous price reductions and whether an offer is pending. I haven't seen any other free sites that have this particular...

    "Rules of thumb" for calculation of rent v. buy?

    <p>Are there any "rules of thumb" in a rent v. buy analysis? I see some calculators on the web that require input of 15+ variables, but I was wondering if any of you have any more simple rules?</p> <p>We are renting and have a chunk of money from a house we sold in 2006. We are trying to...

    How do I comment on an "archived" posting?

    I want to try to add a comment to the post on the November 2006 piece on the house at 29 Shade Tree at the bottom of Turtle Ridge. The house is still for sale, with the price lowered to 1,099,000.

    I love this site - anything comparable in South LA County e.g. Long Beach?

    I am trying to get a handle on real estate in Long Beach. Unfortunately, my internet searches all end up real estate agent web sites -- useless.
