Are you kidding? In S. CA 650k will by you a home in south central or San Berdo. My first home in S.CA I bought for 95k and it was 55 years old when I bought it. 2 bedrooms and was old and in need of repairs. That broken down old track home is now selling for 800k..And it looks nearly identical to when I had it...But now it's a real crappy neighborhood. LOL!
Good luck with those "Low" CA taxes...yukyuk
I bought my house in Oceanside 4 years ago 5 bedroom 5 miles from the beach now worth 950,000 but tax remains as is for 650,000
