MLS 071062259 (not very attractive paint job) reduced to $565,000. Anyway this is not a bad location (Village Park) in a decent location within Encinitas, east of El Camino Real. This is a short sale but it gets you down to around $243/Sq. Foot. My guess is that since the price on the short sale is coming down, that you can bid at the bottom of the range.
Meanwhile little 1040 Sq. Foot home down on Playa Riviera in Cardiff (right on top of I-5) is listed at $699,000. While closer to the ocean, and in a slightly better elementary school system, the roar of I-5 is going for $672/Sq. Foot. One at the other end is going for $725,000.
26 DOM started at $619,000
reduced to $589,000 on 8/17
Reduced to $565,000 on 8/27
Of course I am still not interested, but the price/sq. foot is kind of nice.
