[quote=livinincali]I have the assessment data available to me. I ran zip 92117 (Clairemont) for all properties less than 5,000 sqft (there’s no real good way to separate residential from commercial except picking a size)
I do think bg probably has a point. Just about half of clairemont’s properties are assessed at less than 200K. The average selling price price for a home in 92117 right now is 500K+ from what I can tell.
Seems like that’s true even for newer high end areas. This is 92130 (Carmel Valley).
Thanks for this instructive info, livincali. Do you subscribe to a service for this info, and if so, what is the name of the service?
I KNEW CA County assessors had a way of compiling this data but didn’t realize that (like CA County Recorders) they sold it on the open market (to Westlaw, County Records Service, etc). I guess since the SD County Recorders Office is now combined with the SD County Assessor’s Office and the SD County Clerk’s Office (ARCC) that they sell all of the info in their database allowable by law (no birth, death or marriage info without going to their office in person and producing identification, etc).
92117 is not only less expensive than 92111 (its southern neighbor), it is less well-established. 92111 was THE CHOICE location to buy into a new (at the time) tract for the former employees of PSA, Teledyne Ryan, Solar Turbines, General Dynamics, etc, located on the harbor. All of these SD “institutions” (all partially unionized) offered generous defined-benefit plan pensions for their retirees.
Those former employees who are still alive (their younger “heirs” if they are not) would be 75 – 90 years old today. I stand by my assertion that property taxes are still notoriously low today for many single family homes in 92111 on the coveted “mtn streets” (situated on or near Tecolote Cyn).
That is why I want to include a plat from 92111.
The first tract(s) in Carmel Valley were built in the mid ’80’s, IIRC. At that time, it was known as “North City West” (not sure when the 92130 zip code was assigned to that area). The original tracts had more one-story homes and none were of the “mcmansion” calibur which has been built there in recent years. They were smaller in SF on average (1600 to 2600, I believe).
