I also have a friend who just pulled the trigger – in Clairemont. I gave him the gentle approach re: advice but he and his partner still chose to buy. There are a few people who just needed the nudge of a little price drop to convince themselves “now is the right time.”
Worse, they just moved here from out of state, so they really have no clue about neighborhoods. I am still aghast. They could have easily rented while they “tested the waters” of neighborhoods and then saved themselves the indignity of future falling prices.
He was incommunicado for the past month while escrow closed…
