Del Cerro View Homes

[NotCranky]

The pink house an Madra looks nice. One shortcoming for me regarding Madra is that it is double yellow road. That is kind of a pet peave of mine and also probably affecting the relative value of this house.
About the geology of the area…looking at the front of the pink Madra house you see large a granite rock front with a short stuccoed wall on top.This granite is very stable. If that is the situation at Yokhama it is not likely a problem. Notice that the driveway of the same house has no cracks and the retaining wall looks perfect, at least to a casual view. That is what you look for for starters. For several years I have noticed a collapsing hill clearly visible from the 8 going east. Can’t remember if it was closer to Waring or College.
I like the Bay Park suggestions too. Another area that is really nice is located of north of Montezuma just east of Fairmont Ave. The zip is 92115. Look for streets off of Santa Yerba. Maybe the views are not so great.The prices get pretty steep in a section that is a gated. East going towards SDSU the houses tend become quite a bit more modest.

I will post a link to one house. I realize that it higher than your stated price range.It is likely that these prices will come down. Just showing you the neighborhood in case you don’t know of it already.

Tumbles if you can, try to hold out at least until later into the summer. You may see some better deals after the spring activity increase. The only problem is that you may miss out on the higher quality listings that people will scoop up. The leftovers though can be leveraged a little bit more.

madra is an okay street like rustico said, but i think it is the main road thru dell cerro area, so its pretty steep and busy. we’ve looked there in the past but with kids and animals it didnt seem too family friendly. i wouldnt rule it out though.

problem is there just are not too many really nice ready to move in homes in del cerro, because most of those on the market have been owned and lived in for decades. so its takes $$$ to fix them up. there are some nice ones listed now, but del cerro doesnt have high turnover, which is too bad we have been looking there a while also

based on the types places you have mentions Tumbles there aren’t many places that seem suitable, so our choices are limited

at least 2500 square feet? four bedrooms? view on the hill?

$700-$950
5915 Madra the foreclosure mentioned above
5892 Madra the pink one mentioned above
5838 Yokohama Ct the one mentioned previously in this link
6415 Crystlaire the one you looked at that needs lots of work

$1million ++
6450 Dwane
6456 Dwane
6486 Dwane
6462 Norman
6310 Dwane

square footage wise the places 700-950 seem to be priced 10-15% below what recent sales have been… more if they need more work.

I don’t think is so much that prices are staying high as it is that so few houses are actually selling, so there really is no clear trend.

There were two houses for sale on Lourdes Terrace all last fall and winter. (near bottom of hill, just below the condos) Both were vacant and listed around $1m. I thought that the owners would have to give in an lower prices, but they pulled them off market and I think both were rented out.

There was a “must sell” flip gone bad on Madra (5980?) that finally sold at the end of 2007. It was first listed at up to 1.6m, and sold for less than $1m. I think it was about 3500 sq ft and some very extensive rehab work was done there.

I think this is the pattern your seeing in a lot of older neighboorhoods. The “must sells” get marked down until they seem like a value compared to prior comps, then someone scoops them up. Those that don’t need to sell refuse to budge.
