Inflated prices?
Try pricing ocean front homes in SoCal. Northern Baja is still a bargain.

No.
A realtor can't force a buyer or seller to terms neither is willing to accept.

We saw two developments
Between Rosarito and Playas de Tijuana today. It looks like your standard development so there are probably new homes available.

I must not be doing this correctly. I get many e mails telling me that several different people have responded. But when I copy and paste to check
there is only one reply repeated. Hate to be missing out on all of your good information.
As to the realtors/market I'm remembering what happen to us in Costa Rica. We paid a price for our farm only to find out later that the price for a
local buyer was 1/8 of the selling price. So, were we dumb for paying it thinking it was a bargin, did the local set the price or did the realtor get
a hold of them? Isn't it difficult for instance to go to Rosarito and know what is really going on if you deal with a realtor? Do you take a chance
there and deal with a local? Call us once bitten

What do you mean, copy and paste? Are you talking about copying and pasting the link into your browser? If so, you should be able to just double click
on the link in the e-mail and it will launch your browser and take you directly to the message. Then you can scroll up and down to see all the
messages.
Hope this helps

For some reason I can't double click, but I think I have the copy/paste down and found the second page Ha! Ha! San Carlos site is easier because it's
just not so busy....of course it's tiny in comparison. All of you are great and have such good information. Now, we just have to pick a good month
for the visit to feel out the situation. Nothing like exploring. Of course we found our place in Costa Rica on the last day we were there on a two
week vacation. This time we arrrrre taking our time.

2frogs,
That would be the most wonderfulest thing I could ever wish for. But no,
I and my husband are stuck up here in n. ca. with 100+ degree weather now for over
a month. We will be visiting George in oct. when my husband gets his vacation. Will probablly be in baja for about 2 weeks starting on the 2nd.,
maybe longer. But that is the best time we like to go as most of the party gringos have gone home.
Hope you can make it then.

Hi bajaruby, Good to know that Oct. is one of the good months to go. Seems that's the best in San Carlos, Mex. as well when we went there. Right
before high season as we are cheap Also, the weather is nice. So, we'll see what Oct. brings us BUT it might be difficult with a trip to Cape Cod,
trip to the IRS, tripping out after that one But, one
thing we've learned is one day at a time and you never know what life will serve up I'm sure George will be excited for the visit. We have
been cooking here as well (7 record heat temps. in July only) until day before yesterday when the rain hit. We got about 6 ins. which is alot for
Colorado We've been setting all sorts of records this summer UGH!Hope
things cool down for you soonl....is it normally like that for N. CA. Seems we used to go that direction to cool off.

Bajame,
We are right in the midlle of the 2 towns of Sutter Creek and Jackson as the crow flys. On ridge rd on the way to the Jackson casino.
2frogs,
I think you would have to go closer to the ocean to cool off here now days. Seems to get hotter every yr. 2 hrs. to S.F. 1 1/2 hrs. to Tahoe, which
isn't very cool right now either.
We have gone to Baja in just about every month of the year. But find that when the partiers leave the Mexicanos are much more friendly. And I can
understand why. I have seen them really degraded alot and if I were them I would want them to leave too. Oct. seems to be the best weather and a
time when it is easier to get to know the people. Repsect them and they will respect you.

Thanks bajaruby, We find that over the years Colorado has gotten much hotter. When we moved here in 72 you didn't need air conditioning. Now, wow
are we glad we have it. Of course we are living in a city now and we used to have a farm and country living is always cooler I think. Still the
weather patterns have changed.
Are the Mexicanos unfriendly right off the bat, or do they give you a chance? We are not used to unfriendly as the Costa Rican people were so very
friendly and would walk across the street before there would be a rude exchange. We are tired of the unfriendly 'right here in Aurora, Colorado' Looking for friendly and easy retirement.

OH NO 2frogs, the Mexican people are the most friendliest people I have ever met. They are always willing to help anyone in need or not. I'm sorry
if I came across that way. I was just refering to the merchants that are trying to make a living and the gringos don't want to give them more than a
couple nickles or dimes for their wares. It does get really old after a while I'm sure. Anyone who has had a yard sale would know what I mean. That
is why I love Mexico so much. It is like living in a small town where everyone knows everyone else and is one big happy familly, only no one know
you...But it doesn't matter.

Hi bajaruby, Oh, now I feel much better and thank you for explaining what you meant. I totally understand both sides of the coin. Do you have a place in Rosarito or is that just your favorite vacation
area?
