If you want a great place to live, then yes-it's a good place to buy. If its for an investment, it will probably not return an investment for another 10-15 years.
It's a great community that has great parks, and local events. We're getting a junior college next summer. - Tue Aug 26 2008, 10:05
Thing's aren't that bad, they're starting construction on the junior college, and she homes just started construction for mountain house. They are also starting active construction on the downtown (they were waiting for other builders to finish their contracted allotments. (Yes, builders have frozen their new construction, but thats a healthy thing to do in a declining market).
I agree that thing wil be in a decline over the next year or two, but there will come a time when the market does rebound. I'm not looking for a short term investment, but a long term home. I've been out there several times, it's quiet and extremely peacful. So yeah, it's a tradeoff for a long commute (i'll be carpooling so not so bad) but worth it when I look at the retuns and beautiful surroundings. - Tue Jan 29 2008, 22:17
We've found that many people now only over 95% finance now for Mountain House (because its in San Joaquin). Does anyone offer any kind of 100% financing opportunities?
