May Shoe Just DROPPED !

[lonestar2000]

We’re currently renting (well, we own a small mobile home but rent the space) and we’re looking to buy a house, but they’re still overpriced for what we want, and can afford. Like many, we’re eagerly awaiting the day when house prices are back to fundamentals so we can move up without selling our souls to do it.

I think SD Realtor has the right balance and honesty in how he regards his profession in the current declining market. If I was looking for a home in SD I’d give him a call, but we’re about 120 miles North of there.

Anyhow, don’t be so quick to judge, I’ve found his comments to be well founded and realistic.

I too agree, that if you found the place you want, can afford it, and plan to stay, then buy it now. It’s a home, not an investment after all.

But, for many such as myself, there’s no choice but to wait, as we can’t afford the current prices.

What ever makes sense for your situation is what you should do. And I think most everyone here has realized by now, that the market is in for a long decline. It is the bottom that is going to be hard to judge. But, then again, once the house you want is affordable and within your reach, it really does not matter if it has reached the bottom or not, now does it?

Enough Realtor Bashing… Lets get back to what’s important. Any further information about the RE Market? LA Times came out yesterday with LA County prices. The BIGGEST LOSERS were the HIGHER END markets of BEVERLY HILLS, BEL AIR, VENICE, SANTA MONICA and PACIFIC PALISADES. Not a good sign.

You can check out the results here, if you wish:

LS, with all due respect, why are posting about West LA on a San Diego board??? Nobody here is interested in Beverly Hills. I like your style, but I’m not sure why you’re posting here.

All the attention to North County (especially inland) bores me. I’d rather see more about central coastal SD. In fact
I’d rather hear about LA’s Westside than all the minute details regarding Carmel Valley. But that’s just me.

I think all these areas are interconnected to some extent, so what’s wrong with hearing about all the so cal areas (even though some might be boring to you and me).

I put a focus on NCC because that is where I live and work. Understandably the world does not revlove around it. As all markets are very local, it would be nice to seem some other RE folks step up and provide the group an ongoing thread on what is happening in their home area. I’d love to learn about them also as invariably we are all interconnected to some extent. Not to say that anyone is providing data that will be the end all it would be interesting to see how things progress across different parts of SD. How bout it?

SDR-Scripps, PQ
Rustico-San Carlos is all you have mentioned
ANyone else…….?

i’d love to hear about markets all over; alaska, hawaii, michigan, co, az, nm…

if the information became so prolific and widespread, if more people were reporting on it and more people were reading about it…
