Thanks for the tip. I haven’t looked too much at 92019. I looked at the Fury Lane condos online and am not impressed (with the prices). The cheapest 2bd is 235K. For that money I’d rather get a SFR in 92113 or 92114. There are a lot of places you can get in those zip codes for 240K.
I was tempted by a ~800sf 2bd house with a 2 car garage for 170K in Emerald Hills (57th street, 92114 by the 94). That one looked like a much better deal than any 2bed condo and the area would have been really convenient for me. I’ll be interested to see what next year brings. Part of me doesn’t see how prices in those zip codes can go much lower, but the other part of me says it it too early to buy and if I buy now I’ll regret it later.
Unless I see a real sweet property, I’m thinking sub 200K SFR for sure. A lot of what I wouldn’t mind living in is in the 225K range right now. I want to wait and see if they’ll go into the 180K range next year. It seems like each month I don’t buy I’m saving at least 2K in declining value.
