I have 2 friends looking for houses right now and my cousin just bought….none are in your area and I am not familiar with the area; however, if priced right the houses are selling fast, even if they need work.

My cousin who just bought (southpark) and both buddies who are looking (Oceanside and Chula Vista/La Mesa areas) have put in multiple (+10) offers on homes and lost, in my opinion the homes they were bidding on needed way to much work, but they are frantic to buy something, anything and it seems to be a feeding frenzy out there right now!

Have you looked on redfin? You can put your own address in and it will pull up neighborhood comps, that way you can see what has sold around you-condition, sq ft, price, etc and get an idea if just listing the house is going to get you the price you want/need or allow you to evaluate if you want to put in any work….an easy way to get a realistic feel for the market around you.
