Two different cities right next to each other. There are similarities, but a lot of differences.  Carlsbad has everything you could want in a beach community. From the quaint downtown villageto the upscale 4 star Aviara community and resort it is easy to find your comfort zone in Carlsbad. There is a wonderful walkwayright along the coast that is taken advantage of 7 days a week. Calrsbad is always a nice place to be and as an Oceanside resident I visit is almost every day.Oceanside has a lot to offer as well, but in a different way. The attraction to Oceanside is its beautiful beaches and its sheer affordability due to an explosion of foreclosures. The plans to make it a popular resort destination have finally started to materialize. There are 2 new resort towers overlooking the ocean... 04/11/2008

Many parts of Oceanside have seen prices almost freefall since last summer. Fortunately, due to recent buyer activity, that decline has a chance to slow down and maybe even level off. With 53 homes actively for sale in Rancho Del Oro, and 14 in Pending status, it indicates a theoretical 4 month inventory. For the latter half of 2007, that was typically 6-9 months. Another indicator is the number of multiple offers that are occurring, particularily in the sub-$500,000 price range. While a number of the offers are still considered low-balls, it appears there is enough competition that sellers can start to get closer to asking prices. Plus many of the bank-owned homes are getting so much interest, that buyers and their agents are pursuing short sales. Banks seemed to have learned their les... 03/31/2008

I don't know if many Oceanside folks could tell you where the Summit View community is located. It's one of those smaller tracts(only about 100 single family detached homes), but it has a lot of fine qualities that make it one of my favorites. It must be liked by the owners there too, since only about 2 or 3 homes sell each year and property values are holding well for Oceanside.Built by Beazer 1999-2001, the homes have no HOA, no Mello Roos, and property taxes less than 1.1%. Over half the homes have panoramic views and generally pretty good lot sizes with the usuable area at least 6000sf. Located in the Vista School District with highly regarded elementary and middle schools.(http://www.k12.vusd.ca.us) There are 5 floorplans ranging from a single story 2260sf to a two story 3118sf hom... 02/20/2008

River Ranch has homes built in 2001-2002 by Fieldstone and KB Homes and is located at the corner of Hwy76 and Old Grove. It represented a reasonable price point for newer homes, without Mello Roos in a gated community with pool, convenient location and good schools in the area. Unfortunately, buyers there seem to have gotten in over their heads and now I recognize it as one of the newer tracts that's had the most price decline. Today, there are 12 homes active, 2 in escrow, and 6 sold in the past 4.5 months according to the Sandicor MLS. 4 of the actives are short sales, 1 is bank owned; 1 of the pendings is bank owned, 1 is a short sale; and all 6 of the sales were bank owned. The 6 solds averaged $192/square foot, while the same time frame last year was $238/sf representing a 19.3% de... 02/20/2008

Well, it has been 6 months since my last update for Rancho Del Oro(RDO) and a lot has happened since then. The lenders dropping many loan programs in July 2007 caused almost a halt of sales for RDO in the next couple months causing a 10% drop in prices in those 2 months. And sales have remained relatively slow since then. 100% financing is limited to sales prices less than $417,000 and buyers for more expensive homes that actually have a down payment are few and far between. Foreclosures have become the driving market force. Many REO(bank owned homes) are now on the market and generating sales, but the lowered prices have hurt all sellers. Successful short sales are practically non-existent, so it means more foreclosures lie ahead.As of 2/20/08, the good news is there are only 45 detach... 02/20/2008
