[quote=recordsclerk] . . . Good luck, I wouldn’t hold out for price corrections, you’ll miss the next boat. By the way prices are going up in all of San Diego, not just desirable locations.[/quote]
Absolutely spot on.
SDowner, prices are going up all over the South Bay, East County and even the traditionally “lower cost” areas such a Lemon Grove, Spring Valley, Encanto, Lomita, Paradise Hills, City Heights, etc, etc.
If I knew I was going to stay in SD County, needed a home for my family, was currently renting and had the wherewithal to purchase, I would be making offers on traditional sales with a 3-day window of acceptance/counter NOW.
A SD County buyer in this situation doesn’t have time to waste playing games for weeks/months making offers on unapproved short sales.
And don’t sweat the small stuff. Get your trusted home inspector on standby so they can perform quickly so you will know whether you want the property as is or need to counter the price early on.
