Anyway... Why not try out some other nice areas (other than Murrieta and Temecula) in the IE, like... Menifee, Wildomar, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Loma Linda, Redlands, Yucaipa, Calimesa, Beaumont, Norco, Eastvale, Corona, or even Riverside?

(P.S.: Yeah, yeah. I know I'm posting in the OC forum... )
Commute might be a nightmare.

Most of SoCal has been flipped, double, triple, quadruple-flipped. Maybe O'side & 92083.

Coachella and Desert Hot Springs can also go in the "except" part along with Indio!

BTW, you got something against my hometown (Indio)?

I don't wish luck to flippers. You take advantage of others & drive the prices up to the ridiculous, unaffordable amounts that they are now.

Uh, they sell at market value (Based on comps) after fixing up the house. It would sell for less as is, which is why the flippers buy it, but most people do not have the money, skill or time to fix it up and .............. it would cost them more. Better deal for buyer and both sellers.

They contribute to driving up the prices, and their all-cash offers prevent others from competing in the housing market. Most of their "renovations" are of poor quality...like lipstick on a pig.

"Market value" for a small, cheaply built, 1950's California tract home should NOT be $600K-$1.3 million, with bidding wars, depending on area (OC, San Diego, Bay Area, pick your poison).

"Market value" is just that, the value the market places on a given house. No individual (on the sidelines) can dictate what it should or should NOT be. An able and willing buyer determines what it is.
