These low interest rate are impossible to beat; I don't know if we will see them again.. Another thing to remeber is that California is a brand. The beaches are each their own individual brand... Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Pismo, Seal Beach, Laguna, Malibu, Port Hueneme, Newport Beach, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Big Sur... Who wouldn't want to live here? My lord, if you plan to live in CA on the coast you have to do it now or you'll miss the window.
I'm not missing the window. I love this state. I know that near coast properties are worth 750,000 dollars at todays values and you can find them all over the state for beneath 450,00..... it won't be 5-10 years where all coastal condos will be above 500,000
Don't worry,...when the Revolution hits Mexico, there's an entire Baja ready for development.
