From the San Diego Realtor Association,

"Californians have a brief window of opportunity to receive up to $18,000 in combined federal and state homebuyer tax credits. A first-time homebuyer must enter into a purchase contract before May 1, 2010, and close escrow between May 1, 2010 and June 30, 2010, inclusive. Buyers who are not first-time homebuyers may u...se the same timeframes to receive up to $16,500 in combined tax credits."

Pontebello Development in Aviara

If you live in Aviara, you need to be aware of the new senior housing development being proposed. 


Here's an excerpt of Q&A from City of Carlsbad website:


Q1.  What is the Pontebello Development? Who is the developer?

A.      The proposed project is 428 market-rate senior condominiums and 76 senior apartments (which are being provided to meet the project’s requirement to include low income affordable residential units). The project is also proposed to include heavy senior-oriented services/amenities. Acacia Investors owns a 61 acre property in Carlsbad which is located north of Aviara Oaks Elementary School, south of Cassia Road, east of Ambrosia Lane and west of Skimmer Court. The property is located in the southwest portion of Carlsbad in the neighborhood of Aviara.  Acacia Investors has submitted an application to the City of Carlsbad for a service-enriched senior only residential development currently known as Pontebello on approximately 21 acres of the 61 acre property. The remaining acreage (40 acres) is proposed to be designated as Open Space and includes the final segment of Poinsettia Lane.  At the time the application was submitted, the project was known as the Bridges at Aviara.
