Ok, so if you clicked on this link, you're interested in finding out the stats about Carmel Valley, specifically on how well resale is "holding value". Some people think it's holding value, some people think it's falling in value.

Some people don't care.  Well, there's couple of  people out there that currently is going into escrow according to public records.

Before you decide to purchase, you might want to check out this link and do your own research on sdlookup.com which has an excellent sales history that is searcheable by street.

YOu should wait another 2 years Larry. The second wave of resets/recasts on alt-a and option arm loans is coming. The distress you are seeing now in CV is only a trickle.

Have you tried SDR and

Have you tried SDR and sdrealtor here?

I haven't met them personally, but both seem pretty reputable, and appear to be pretty straightforward from what I see they say here. At least I don't think they will say the "this is hot, and sold in 2 weeks" when it was listed since 2007 bullsh!t as described in the previous thread.

 

I have a friend who is also an agent, but she might be in taiwan on a 2 year vacation though. Let me check. She's been an agent for i think 20+ years, and last time I checked, she said she wasn't going to try to kill herself convincing people to buy in this market. Warning, she's pretty blunt about things, which can be good and bad. I at one point got into a yelling match with her, because she made a comment about how terrible a home was in Palacio that I was looking at with the mold,mildew, and exorbitant hoa fees. I thought she was just trying to persuade me into buying another home for which she was the listing agent. She claimed that since I was looking in the same price range, that I should consider her listing anyway. I think I was biased because I always felt an agent that handles both side of the transaction would be a bad thing....Eventually didn't buy in Palacio.... and I wished I had bought the home she was trying to sell, because even today the offering price was a steal for that home since the owner needed to sell quickly for a relocation out of the country....The home ended up selling at a deal, and included a baby grand piano because he couldn't move it.
