    Be sure that it’s something you could live with long-term. Many apartment conversions aren’t built to condo specs, so you could be sharing a thin bedroom wall with someone and hear everything that goes on in that room. Talking, snoring, sex, TV, typing on a computer, everything.

    No photos. What’s the condition of the property? Any vacant units? Check the solvency of the HOAs. Any special assessments going on?

    Been on the market a long time. Maybe can offer even less. How much do you like it? Happy to be there for a minimum of 5 years? If it lowers another 5 or 10% would you be ok w/that if you bought at today’s price? If it flatlines for 5 years or so, are you planning on selling? Is this going to be a rental later or owner occupied?

    It’s kinda small approx 600 feet. But the location would be good for UCSD I would think.

    Noise transfer thru wall can be greatly reduced fairly inexpensively.If the wall is not sound proofed the sheetrock is ripped off the shared wall and all the stud bays are filled with regular r-13 insulation. Then a layer of soundboard goes up covered with drywall. The sound dampening is amazing. There are more high tech products but this works pretty well.
    $4-$5 per sqft of wall by handy man, materials and labor+painting.
