Entry Level Pricing in Carlsbad & Other
North San Diego County Communities 2017
 
Home buyers in our area, especially those who are not paying attention to our housing market, are often surprised at the cost of our housing, especially in some communities.
 
San Diego has a reputation for being one of the more expensive housing markets in the country. But many buyers hear media reports or read things online and don’t have an accurate picture of the realities of our market.
 
Buyers often ask…what can I get for $X in a certain community, or what are the starting prices in X community?  The … (12 comments)

The Extremes in the San Diego Real Estate Market

san diego homes for sale: Buyer Headaches and Heartaches | San Diego Real Estate | Short Sales and Foreclosures - 05/17/10 03:26 PM
Buyer Headaches and Heartaches in San Diego Real Estate  Buying a new home is exciting, with plenty of challenges along the road to closing. While this is true in any market, the current market conditions can make the purchase process full of headaches and heartaches. 
This is more likely true when buying a short sale or foreclosure (a.k.a. REO and bank-owned), either by choice, or because that's what exists in your market and price range. 

While there can be complications, twists in the road, and unexpected issues in any transaction, short sales and foreclosures seem to result in more unanticipated … (10 comments)

san diego homes for sale: It Shouldn't be this Hard to Buy a Cheap Condo These Days - 01/03/10 10:24 AM
It really shouldn't be this hard to buy a cheap condo in this market.
Granted there are lots of short sales and REOs, especially when you are looking under $100K in North San Diego County (yes, you CAN buy a condo in this price range in America's Finest City these days). Can you believe even a 2-bedroom one? 
Well, you can, but it ain't easy.
Here are the most recent examples just today. 
Scenario 1- vacant condo on lockbox per the MLS. Got to the unit. No lockbox but keys lying in the entry. Nope, they did not work. Per … (8 comments)

san diego homes for sale: San Diego Real Estate Market - A 2008 Year-End Market Report Summary (LOCALISM FEATURED) - 01/05/09 04:25 PM
2008 was a tough year in many ways, for the real estate market and elsewhere.
