If your job is in Irvine, that's a fairly long commute. Same goes for places like Ladera Ranch that are further inland. It's kind of a shame since these areas were sold as family friendly, but because much of OC was already developed they had to be further out. RSM is another to think about...the prices are lower but is it worth the extra time and gas to get out there?southoctrackerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14078251154400696498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281158.post-45093642435659436202008-07-06T00:07:36.351-07:002008-07-06T00:07:36.351-07:00Don't you think gas prices these days will further pressure not only on distressed home owners, but more importantly, those home owners in the more remote towns in OC, say San Clemente, AV, MV, RSM, etc? I see this in norcal, I would expect the same down in OC. Might be something to think about when you actually pull the trigger on a home.norcaljeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09100636426252747991noreply@blogger.com
