I’m officially a knifecatcher

[quote=jpinpb]What makes this purchase so difficult for me is I am still a bear. [/quote]

Same with me, as someone who closed in December. I think in terms of a mindset, its an asset. No lofty expectations, just finally finding a place to live and settling into an economic reality. Following housing becomes interesting, but less personal.

Why can’t people just leave these gorgeous buildings alone???[/quote]

You know it did.

Nice post xboxboy. We bought in late 09 and while I have not seen a house come up in our area (Mission Hills) that made me wish we would have waited, I have seen a few come up in some of the other areas we looked at that make me very glad that we didn’t buy there. Here are some examples in Mt. Helix that blow away anything we looked at there a couple of years ago at similar price points:

http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-100073352-4825_Mount_Helix_La_Mesa_CA_91941

I feel like we really dodged a bullet by not buying in Mt. Helix back in 2009. That market has just completely derailed since the time we were looking.

pem, I am familiar with these streets and both of those properties are absolutely fabulous for the $$. The first one is TOTALLY ME!! I wouldn’t change a thing except repair/refresh and get a new fireproof slate roof. The owners appear to be asking $104K LESS that their 1999 purchase price!

The second one has a COMMANDING view from its window-wall, but I can’t live that high up as my vertigo would bother me as a passenger ascending and descending that road in a vehicle. And I feel it is dicey in the dark as there are no street lights on those winding, county roads.

Love them both! Thanks for sharing!!
