Instead of MMB maybe we should call it MMM ( madness )( you got to be mad to ask $ 1.3-1.38 or some of the other stuff we have discussed )
Yes i do live on the hill – top of wandermere, about 5 years now ( 2 remodels, 1 addition ).
I can’t recall if you were looking in this area? In any case my thoughts on being at the top of the hill. Note; all my focus, evaluation are contrasts with Mission Hills, Kensington, Talmage, College, Hillcrest, Bankers Hill, ( core central SD ). So while not perfect here’s my top 20.
1. Better weather – warmer and more sun than PL, beach, or even MH Ken, but not the excessive heat of El Cajon; less marine layer most days.
2. Larger lots
3. Larger houses
4. Newer houses ( most built late 60’s thru 70’s ), more square footage for the $$ spent
5. Better construction, many custom or semi custom and a variety of styles, mature landscaping
6. Quieter streets
7. Excellent elementary schools
8. Above average middle and high school
9. Best location for getting to freeway,
10. Best location for getting to Grossmont, MV, El Cajon, Santee, Mission Gorge, La Mesa, College, etc.
11. Wide variety of religious choices
12. New fire / rescue / medic station
13. Fire department hose connections every block and hence lower fire insurance
14. Wide variety of views and orientations
15. Lake Murray and all it offers very adjacent
16. Mission Trails very adjacent
17. Cowles Mountain very adjacent
18. Area very very stable – you know what you are buying into, general very long term owners
19. Continual remodels, upgrades, additions, etc being done
20. One of very lowest crime areas in SD.May 20, 2008 at 10:48 PM #208901macmichael

Participant6486 Dwane closed, 10% below its final asking price and 17% below its asking price in March 2008. The final price of $1,167,500, may still be high but the place is big at 4,530 sq feet, and it works out to ~$258 a square foot, which means if that price per sq ft holds up, this will be the last million dollar home in Del Cerro for a while. Now let’s see how unrealistic the remaining homeowners continue to be. Will they get desperate with this “comp killer”? This is a nice property with a low price per Sq ft. I still think we’ll see drops like we’ve seen in Chula Vista here. Congrats for the “deal” this knife catcher got in Del Cerro.

ParticipantIt was interesting, the realtor ( Realtard ? ) was a women who was not familar with the area, nor do I believe had she ever sold anything in Del Cerro. From her appearance and attitude appeared to be more at home in La Jolla, 4S, RSF or one of those areas where if ( in the old days )you had to ask the price you shouldn’t be shopping at that store or neighborhood.
Anyone attuned to Del Cerro at the time knew she was $ 200 – 300K too high ( except her ). It is probable that she might have got her client $ 1.2 or perhaps a little more if she could have generated some early on interest. Yet, the high listing price was a total turn off. Its probable that she was a “friend” of the seller. Choosing a friend in this case may have cost the seller $ 50K or so.
