Manmom thank you for the numerous corrections. We rented on Buckwheat for a little while. Our neighborhood had a pretty diverse composition with alot of asian and phillipino and all of our neighbors were very nice. We had a decent sized lot and since the lots were all on different levels it gave a nice sense of privacy. We had a nice south view. Also thanks for the correction as I always get park village and village park mixed up… doh! We too had lots of rabbits running around in the yard.
The part of PQ that I am not thrilled about is the Penasquitos Glens area. Is that where you were referring to where the attacks were? Just wondering.
Also yes I have seen that PQ seems to have a very high rate of distressed sellers.
Donald I think that the late summer will bring more sellers not because it is PQ but because it is a seasonal issue. Many sellers put their homes on the market in the early part of spring. However there are many people that either procrastinate, or are to busy and they wait until the later part of the spring. I have not tracked PQ weekly but I do track Scripps and Scripps hovered in between 70-85 active homes on the market throughout the entire spring. Right now it is at 96 detached homes for sale. Again, I think by late summer you will see more inventory and better pricing. Same time in 2008 it will even be better.
When you buy this home will it be a long term purchase? Will you be living in it for a long time?
