Del Cerro View Homes

[Tumbles]

I’ve been looking in the Del Cerro area at some houses with views. One of the few I looked at has been on the market for 136 days and is listed at $850-950K. Any thoughts on what would be a reasonable price. The home seems very dated and overpriced to me.

Also, looking for recommendations for other San Diego neighborhoods that offer city, bay, ocean or mountain views (safe neighborhood and easy commute to city) with house prices under $850K.

Doing my research and preparing for the day I find that SFR deal of a lifetime.

This is an awesome forum – glad I found it today!

I love Del Cerro. I grew up there. This is a very nice street. The exterior of the house is horrible, the inside is very dated, as you say. But the views from this street are incredible. When my family moved to Del Cerro in the 1960s, the community was “in the sticks.” Now it is very central and a relatively easy commute to Mission Valley or downtown. Hearst Elementary is ranked near the top in the SD Unified School District. However, I think, like you do, that the home is overpriced.

I think the Del Cerro Heights are a relatively undiscovered area that has some great view homes. The home you write about doesn’t have a city skyline view or sunset view which is what people want most up there. The house also has a lot of trees that block the view that there is (Tijuana). These trees are owned by the neighbor below so you can’t cut them down. The house itself has potential. It is owned by the original owners that built it themselves. There has been no updating but there is a lot of space and potential. It is overpriced for it’s current condition. There is also an ackward, ugly workshop built on one side and a “maid’s room” that was added on and is only accessible from the outside. The stairwell needs re-working – it is very claustrophobic. It has a nice sized, flat back yard. All that said, the house has some potential but would never earn the really “big bucks” because it doesn’t have the premium view that the rest of the street has. My idea of a fair price for this house is $725. I have owned a house in Del Cerro Heights and have been intensely watching this market for years. It has been extremely volatile in this market downturn. There have been at least two foreclosures (on Madra) in the last year. I would estimate that downturn to be 20-25% and I’m starting to think about investing again.

If you are looking for a home with views similar to this one at under $850K, I highly recommend checking out the Mt. Helix area. It is a little farther out east than Del Cerro, but still a reasonable commute. The lot sizes are typically larger than in Del Cerro, and some of the homes have spectacular views, particularly those on the western slope of Mt. Helix where views to the ocean are often unobstructed. Although it’s farther out than Del Cerro, you could get a larger home with better lot and view for the same or less money than in Del Cerro.
