The market you have referred to is my home base. I also have been frustrated by the Scripps (Old Scripps) market. However I am not sure I have seen many overbids. Can you refer to the actual addresses for the homes that you have seen overbid? I can research them and give you more information. I am not sure I agree with you for Mira Mesa but give me some examples and I will look them up.
I am in very much the same boat as you and getting a new wife is not an alternative. I just gut it out when she starts beating me up about how everywhere has fallen but the homes we want. Let’s see what happens as the summer gets late. As I have previously posted, for many weeks in the spring, Scripps inventory dipped and stayed near 70 homes. Last I checked it was at 95 which bodes well.
In – Which home were you referring to? I recently moved from the Calle Cristobal area. In fact the Cheryl Ridge listing that I believe is active (it just RELISTED on the MLS) is the home we used to rent. Also the home around the corner from us sold last year and I thought there was something fishy about that sale. Not only did it sell after expiration but the price seemed out of whack to me. My sister in law at Coldwell also sold one a few blocks away on the canyon last year.
