Participant$289-309K is way too much for a condo (conversion?) in North Park within hearing distance of the freeway
The second link is an SFR – check out the front of this house – it reminds me of Thomas the Train or maybe Robbie the Robot sticking his head up through a hole in the ground – the eyelids even have stripes to simulate eyelashes – I mean that has to be worth at least $649K!
edit: click the ‘View all 12 pictures’ link – Robbie has an antenna and ears!

The sellers on Nile Street should talk to the lady on Bancroft who has been trying to sell her (larger) home for several months. She started asking around 650K and is now down to 499. Still no takers. Maybe removing the bars would give it more curb appeal, ya think?

ParticipantThe buyer of the house on 33rd street lives in La Jolla. Probably bought it for their kid to live in. Their house in La Jolla appears to be owned free and clear so looks like that have plenty o cash. There are still lots of rich people out there.

Wow, thanks for that information Radelow. The couple living in the house don’t look like they have 800K to spend on a house (they’re very young).
It still begs the question why would anyone spend that much for a crummy little house in North Park? 800K would get you a much nicer house almost anywhere in SD county. For that much money you’d think you’d get at least 2 bathrooms!!!

ParticipantI have come to the final conclusion that house buying is completely emotional for a lot of people and that all kinds of sales happen for no reason. I have also come to a conclusion that there are a lot of people out there with lots of money STILL, especially here in San Diego.

I have seen some insanity here in 92104 in the last four years, but 800K for the stucco house across the street just plain got me angry. The sellers paid 650K for it two year ago, and when they listed it for sale in May I thought they’d be lucky to get what they paid for it. Low and behold, 805K!!!
We are renting an equivalent home for 1995/month. Most of the people on this block paid about 150K for these homes 10 years ago. When are buyers going to catch on that 500-800K for these homes is insane? Our next door neighbor (who bought his home 7 years ago) says we should buy because interest rates are so low. Duh?
Some parts of Normal Heights are even worse than North Park. There’s some funky streets/yucky houses in 92116 too.

ParticipantWell, it depends on the street. Nile Street is busy and at the cross street Landis, it goes over into City Heights (but still 92104). There is a bunch of crime coming from Swift Avenue and the apartment complex in-between Landis and Swift. However, if you go just a minute over, not on Nile Street, the neighborhoods are nice. I know that house on Nile. The price is ridiculous. They are not going to get that for Nile Street. Now, if you go to some of the nicer streets…..Granada, Pershing, Alabama, Lousiana (all by Morley Field) then they might have something going.
