I have a listing in Ramona right now. It is a nice home but it has been SITTING. I cannot stress to you how slow it is in the outlying areas. I know Pine Valley is not anywhere near Valley Center but I had a listing there last year that also sat. The owner then went from me to Keller Williams. Again, no activity and the seller lost the home due to foreclosure. Finally last year I got a call from a client who has a very high end home in Valley Center. We met last year and she didn’t list because I recommended a price to her that was unacceptable. I called her back a few weeks back just to check in as she told me to call her about a year after we met, and sure enough she said they now could not afford to sell so they are going to just ride it out.
So the bottom line is… Unless you are prepared to sit for several years, I would stay away or at least hold off.
By the way, I to am 100% sick of renting AND wife is ready to scalp me….
