As an aside, I believe those two homes will sell to “locals,” that is La Mesa locals. There are plenty of 50+ year LM residents living in the village and Casa de Oro far below their means. A baby boomer who has been waiting to retire up there in a “special” property will jump on these properties, hammer out a deal, rent their free and clear place out down below and that will be the end of these listings.
I predict the buyers of these properties will be at least 40+ year residents of East County. That’s the way it works out there ;=]
