La Mesa Homes: $1,200,000 to under $1,400,000

Be selective about the whole property

As the budget grows, you can be more deliberate about the combination of layout, condition, and outdoor use you want. A polished interior should still be assessed alongside maintenance needs and any shared ownership obligations.

I can help you identify the information to review and the questions to ask before you move forward.
