In my part of the U.K. you have to put in an offer before you’ve even seen the bloody house it’s so ridiculous! There are price wars going on and houses are selling way way over their asking price 🙄🙄 everyone from the cities coming here to quiet rural areas and snapping up all the properties, that means there are none for the local people to buy or to even afford it’s very very unfair.

I love this video so much, because most of the videos that people post of them house touring on this platform are unrealistic because of their price range. Most of them don't really know what they're doing, and only looking at the "aesthetic" and the size of the house. You acknowledged the pros and cons, and also gave us realistic budget. I've seen a lot of people saying this already, but never settle for anything you don't like.

Sometimes it takes a while before you find the house almost like a job. I'd like the outside of the first house but the backyard on the second house was amazing! I like the idea of you putting an outdoor shower that you could use when you come home from the beach. I love Palm Trees but not right outside of window where it blocks your view. It's too bad the condo didn't work out because you're so close to the beach. Being that I live in a colder climate I'm good for more natural light that makes me happy so I get it. It seems like the first house had a lot of Windows there must be something that's blocking the natural sunlight. Either the trees or a roof overhang. You are a very wise on the decisions that you make especially on a how much you are willing to spend. I wish you the best on your search for your new home. Maybe a temporary home until you find your forever home.

In Arizona, it is pretty similar to what you experienced. I wrote 6 offers and got rejected each time until my last. What I did, was give a time frame with an added incentive. So I placed an offer on Thursday and said, if they give me an answer of yes by the next afternoon, I would up my offer by $1000. This was in conjunction to going $15k over asking and waiving the appraisal. Though, getting the appraisal, the appraised value was $11k over the list price, so I was only on the hook for another $5k I noticed that sellers put a home on the market on Thursday and won’t respond until Sunday to see how many offers they have. It makes it really hard for first time home buyers or any home buyer really. It’s nice to know we weren’t alone! So thank you for posting about your journey! I love you videos❤️

Hi! San Diego native here that lives in North county! Escondido on paper looks like its farther from the beach than you are looking for, however Del Dios highway is a backdoor highway that gets you to several beaches within 15-20 and a lot of the houses in our town mean that you get A LOT of bang for your buck. San Elijo Hills (zip code 92078, I note this because there are 2 San Elijos in SD, confusing I know!) which is west of San Marcos is a short shot to some of the best beaches and has an AMAZING small town center, and many of the homes would definitely be in your range! Have fun!

I moved to North SD county (Fallbrook) 6 years ago before prices took off. Still paid more than I felt comfortable with but had a house to sell which helped offset the cost. My daughter is getting married soon and is having the same trouble - put in offers over asking and get out bid. This is a situation I never had to deal with. My old house had low ceilings and felt like a cave. I'm with you on natural lighting! High ceilings and light colored flooring and plenty of windows in my current house make a huge difference. I hope you find what you're looking for. Your home is your refuge so an important decision. Best of luck to you!

eryn, when you get a homeloan/mortgage you should read the contract of the loan. most cases you must live in the house until you reach the loan requirements. so usually you cannot buy vacation property or rental property unless you meet the requirements. like living there 10-15 years.

Eryn, have you also considered buying a home somewhere other than California? There’s surf spots on the East coast (Kitty Hawk, NC in the Outer Banks, Wrightsville Beach, NC or maybe Cocoa Beach, FL) that are considerably more affordable and you’ll get so much more for your money. I know SoCal is gorgeous, I lived in SB county for 3 years, but there’s so many other places besides CA that have things to offer and for a lot less.. However, if I was dead set on living in SoCal I would probably continue to live at home for another year or two so I can get what I truly want instead of sacrificing location and/or size

She will need at least 1.5 mil in order to find a house which satisfies all items on her list. As soon as she removes close to the beach, she will be able to check off her list.
