Best downtown condos to buy in?

You might check out Lew Breeze’s website on downtown properties, you can check out amenities, parking, HOA fees, and everything else relevant to a downtown condo on his sight, even see pictures. It’s a great resource. The address is…www.sandiegodowntown.info/

Downtown is overvalued. No building meets you criteria. As far as resale is concerned, at today’s prices, you can forget it.

Owners cannot lower their prices because they owe too much. For good value, you need to wait until the assets are transferred to motivated owners. That’s a crucial feature of Capitalism so you need to wait until that takes effect.

In the mean time, review the downtown listing for their entertainment value. SDlookup allows you to sort by list price, by price/sf, HOA, etc. Just click on the heading to sort the listings.

Whatever you do, DO NOT get a Realtor involved at this point. You’ll be too tempted (perhaps influenced) to buy too soon. Watch the prices drop and enjoy the show.

sorry…let me clarify some more. i have been reading/watching all of the websites y’all have mentioned. there appear to be tons of condo buildings. I appreciate all the comments about waiting to buy, so let me clarify why i posted this.

*i am not going to buy anytime soon
*i am patient and will wait for prices to drop
*i read many SD websites each week

the one thing i can’t get is a good overview of the qualities of the different buildings. I can look up the prices anytime online but i’m trying to really learn more about what the best buildings are – w/o having to engage a realtor and go look at 100 condos. Looking for that insider expert knowledge.

can those of you with inside knowledge share about what the good/BEST buildings are and why.

Dont listen to Perry as he wants downtown to go down as far as possible as quickly as possible so he can buy what he wants down there. You know what you want and when you will look to buy. Do your own due diligence and get the information you seek from both sides of the equation.

Jayesky the best thing you can do is pound the pavement and kick the tires of the different developments. Sounds like you have a clear view of what you want to do and when you want to do it. I can only give you advice on Discovery as I know that building well. However take some time and check them out. I think in your case the best advice I would give would be to work with a Realtor who is located downtown and who knows it very very well. There are some very good people downtown who do just that. They know all the developments and can give the comparison for which you are seeking. You may want to be a bit vague on the timeframe of the purchase with them.
