They must be using it for daycare, hence all the play stuff/murals. The bones of the house, though, look to be well cared for, which is a big plus for any moderately priced home in Santa Ana. I'd still question how much Santa Ana will fall before leveling off... this home could go below $250k... we just don't know yet. If you're going to stay there a long time, then, I say, go for it... as long as you're okay with the neighborhood. Anahurst does look like a nicer home for that area.

I'm actually thinking I might want to go take a look. Honestly though, santa ana home prices probably SHOULD be under 300. There was a LOT of bubble fraud there which gave us all a kind of inflated idea of how much stuff is worth, but the neighborhoods are pretty mixed. There are a lot of completely trashed eyesores mixed in with the nicer homes, and its like a 50/50 ratio in that area. I think considering the income and makeup of the area a small house for 280 about right. The average household income there is 45k. Assuming great credit, no debt, a downpayment, and a willingness to go as high as a 36% ratio... you're still looking at no more than 250k place? Something like that. Hi Julie,
