sdworker— You know not of what you speak and are now conspicuously missing from this thread. I live in Torrey Highlands and have been following the area closely for over a year and I can say without a doubt that prices are DOWN relative to last year. Inventory is also at the highest point it’s been all year. As SD Realtor stated, it’s held up pretty well, but to characterize it as up (or even holding) is just plain wrong.
If you’re in escrow, good for you. Regardless of your actual understanding of your local market, you must have priced your home correctly. Either that, or you got lucky, and I’m sure that can still happen for nice clean newer homes in good areas.
