Mira Mesa on fire-prices have started increasing

[Jazzman]

[quote=sdrealtor]Than what was I doing when I said it wasnt a good time to buy? Was I dishonest then also? If not how do you explain this abrupt change from honesty to dishonesty?[/quote]
You said “it wasn’t a good time to buy”? I beg your pardon, I thought you were intimating the opposite. I totally agree with you, and have also said it isn’t a good time to buy, and you’ll forgive me for saying I thought you weren’t too happy when I did. But whatever! I guess we owe you a big thanks for bringing to our attention that Mira Mesa is clearly a place for buyers to avoid like the plague.

I’ve had a change of heart. I’m going to start telling people the opposite of what I really think. It seems like people like to listen to the contrary of my opinions than my opinions themselves…That, or I’m just going to ask people what they think, and tell that what I think is exactly what they think… I think from a social acceptability standpoint, it would make me more popular. Because I think far more people that want to hear reaffirmation of own’s own beliefs/opinions that contrarian viewpoints…And FLU needs a little TLC every so often, instead of ruffling the feathers..So…

*If people ask me about MM whether it’s good place. I tell them no, it sucks. just like they wanted to hear… I tell them to look elsewhere, like Santee, Chula Vista..

*Carmel Valley? Yeah, that sucks too. They have migrant camps off if 56..

*Facebook shares a good buy?Absolutely…
Zygna? Even better? Great deal there, and you should be able to retire off of it.

*Schools? Completely overrated….Kids don’t need an education now…
Ivy league school or schools like Berkeley/CalTech/MIT?… Phhhh. Why bother? Just go to Chico State or University of Phoenix. Same thing and you’ll save a lot of money!

*Medical school? Law school? Top Tier MBA? Phhh. Don’t need it…..Go get a degree in Underwater Basketweaving.

*Engineering? Phhh. Don’t get outsourced. Train to be a entrepreneur stud at Caplan University.

*Rental income? Phhh! Just work for the government and get a pension….

And from now on. I’m going to write long paragraphs. And use bigger words. BOLD words. Words with deep meaning..I think if I increase the amount of my writing, it will support my anti- viewpoints more. I’ll repeat myself a few times, to occupy space. Like I’ll repeat how good of a by Facebook is. Just in case you forget what I wrote from writing a long long paragraph of two..

Speaking of numbers, to occupy more space, I’m going to spell out numbers instead of use numerics. So if something is worth $500k. Instead of writing $501,000 or $501k, I am going to starting writing Five hundred and one thousand dollars and no cents…

To be honest, I would take the pension.
My buddy is retiring this year from a desk Job at DWP, going to be bringing in close to 120K pension.
He is 55.

But just because,

SD is way over rated.

I hear they have better quality homes in Phoenix and Austin is all the rage these days, maybe try those areas.

To get more eyeballs, I’ll start quoting myself. And I’ll start asking questions in “long form”…

If a four bedroom two and a half bath mira mesa home is listed at two hundred thousand dollars and fifty cents, I’ll tell people I think it’s a horrible deal, and that they should be able to get it for one hundred thousand, five hundred fifty five dollars. But I’ll tell them to double check the tax rate which is probably around one point two five percent….I’ll also ask them what kind of loan they are getting. Whether it’s a thirty year fixed rate loan or a fifteen year fixed rate loan. And what the annual percentage rate of that loan will be. Is it something three point five five with zero points zero fees?

SD is way overrated. It’s really a $hit hole with nothing but vast seas of TRACT homes.

Actually, it isn’t at all. SD County has many more “custom” areas than other cities (esp those in Midwest and Southwest USA). It’s just that most Piggs, if given the choice, seem to gravitate towards SD County tract developments and the *newer* the better (inferior location and accompanying fees be damned).

Many older-tract subdivisions could now be considered mostly “custom” due to mass remodeling over the years.

The “universal preference” for “newer tracts” is partly a function of the confusion of so many tracts to choose from now, IMO, due to gross overbuilding in the last 15 years creating “urban sprawl.” Another reason for the preference is generational. Younger Gen X and Gen Y generally want to reduce property maintenance as much as possible and most didn’t want to learn and/or weren’t taught any “repair” or “heavy cleaning” skills. Thus, they often perceive an older, far more well-located property on a larger lot as too daunting or a “project,” even though there may be many thousands of $$ of “sweat equity” available to the buyer after its purchase. Instead, many would rather pay hundreds in fees every month (or even $1K+) and regularly take their children to a park instead of water, fertilize, mow and have them play in their backyard. In addition, they can’t envision living in a house while it still has (working) older appls, Formica countertops and/or vinyl floors in the bathrooms. For the vast majority of (younger) Gen X/Y homebuyers, the house they buy must already be completely “updated, turnkey” and “move-in ready” upon COE.

Even my own kids are like this, except they WILL live in older dwellings but all are completely opposed to having to take care of landscaping.

This wasn’t always the case with the majority of homebuyers but to each his own.

I said that for 3 or 4 years but not anymore. Now it is a good time buy. That is if you can find something you like at current market prices.

Winans Cove just closed for $445,800 14 day close all cash. Thats about $10K above asking and a really strong offer on terms.

[sdrealtor]

As tough as it is in MM its still possible to win. Just put a buyer into escrow on a short sale house there. Got it $20K below asking which is also at least $40K less than anything like it has sold in 6 months. It was listed by an agent most buyers and agents dont want to deal with. It had been sitting on the market for 30+ days and was ripe for the taking. I looked at the loan situation and could tell it would be a quick and easy short sale approval for an under market price. From offer to written short sale approval it look just over 60 days. Its not easy but it can be done. It is getting harder every day though.

Some body got a great deal here. Nice canyon view, three car garage and a pool. No street noise problem that many around houses here have.

with 20% down and 3.7% rate, payment is $1750.
