[quote=jpinpb][quote=sdcellar]Yeah, but that place is tiny and you should be able to get more for your money. [/quote]
should is the key word. You would think, but I’m not seeing it, at least for the decent streets.

Honestly, there are a lot of canyon facing lots in central San Diego, so if that’s what you really want, there will be more out there. [/quote]
I hope so. The canyon ones in the nicer areas go quick and at a higher price.

Also, I’m not sure how much land you’d like to have, but if you’re okay with a smaller house like that, you should probably be able to get by with a smaller lot and still have a respectable garden. You won’t get the view, but I don’t know how important that is to you. [/quote]
Well, I was okay w/the smaller house because it was on a big lot. Even though the house was small, the outdoors was BIG, expansive and private, so it seemed less claustrophobic.

Also, not sure how big your search radius is, but there are a lot of zips with similar properties, just depends on what’s most important to you.[/quote]
I’m really embarrassed to say, but I’ve been checking about 10 ZIPs. I’m pretty picky. I would like a canyon view, but it’s not critical. It has to make sense. Some places are close to making sense. Others have qualities that are desirous, but don’t pencil out.
Makes me think of what TG said at our last meetup. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. I keep getting close, but no cigar.
Some of the canyon properties I’ve seen are like on a cliff and though the view is great, I feel like I’m just going to fall off, like 4610 Iroquois. Pretty much unusable.[/quote]
Another example of crazy appraisers. That one got almost $200K in three months!!!
I don’t care what kind of upgrades you do to a house, it should not increase the value by $200K in a few months.
