Poly Pop's house is a nice strategic location - He is still close enough allowing him to commute into OC or LA for events- he found a little pocket that hadn't been stampeded with development yet -but even where he is, he is being surrounded by development (I'm afraid the secret is out on that little patch of land called Corona...) and the prices are rising. he's right - the entire So. Calif. market is one of multiple offers. Depending on demand, you are looking at offering asking price or more to get a house. But before I get too off track - seriously - if you live by the seaside now, I would think long and hard before moving to the desert. I am from the south bay (Hermosa Beach) and have been bitching about having to move to Glendale (the boonies, as I call it) - it is hot here. But, two weeks ago I took a camping trip that took me (unexpectedly) to the desert - past Palmdale and to the left (the Tehachapi's to be exact). I didn't even make it through the day - so hot and then it rained while it was hot - (totally weird if you are from L.A./O.C.) I told the pirates I was supposed to stay the night with that I wasn't into the camping and wanted to go home - I came speeding back to Glendale glad to even have this little house - Glendale may be hot part of the year but it is nothing like the desert - you will really be sacrificing your lifestyle to locate in California if your only option is the desert. Don't know what your budget is but you can still buy a place out by me - a fixer for $350,000..... in La Crescenta/northern Glendale.
