Rustico,
I’ll address your comments in a couple days on The Short Sale monitor when I have access to my historical data. I dont have data for CV back to 2003 and 2004 which were the best of times but I have that data for Encinitas and South Carlsbad. With a bit of extrapolation, I should be able to get an idea of how this year compares with the best of times.
I never said that there arent bad signs in CV. There are bad signs everywhere. But just as there are bad signs, there are good signs also. In CV the balance between the good and the bad is better than anywhere else I have seen in SD.
Lastly, my comment about the next few weeks being key spoke to seller motivation not buyer motivation. Most sellers are optimistic and worry that their house could sell quickly and that they might have to move b4 school goes on Summer break. The most intense listing period from year to year occurs between 5/1 and 6/15.
One final comment which I may have not ever made on this board b4 but I HATE CARMEL VALLEY! There is not enough gold in Ft Knox to make me live there. Too congested, too much attitude and too conservative thinkers.
