ParticipantYeah, but I’ve been saying give it another year for over five years now. If I could convince the spouse to move we would be gone by now. Long gone. Just turned 40 this year, always been a renter, and the prospect of still paying a mortgage when I’m over 70 doesn’t sound too wonderful. Looking at other areas, though. There’s a lot available within a 15 minute drive under 300k. If I do give it another year, I’m sure we’ll be able to find something around 200k within a 15-mile radius of city center.

ParticipantGood eye and point about the condos/condo conversions DCRodgers. I never could believe the prices for the little detached homes on Meade between the freeways because of the traffic and location to El Cajon Blvd. These would definitely be good bellwethers too because so many of them sold at or near the peak. Some multiple times.
Really, like Mark, I couldn’t believe the prices for any of them in the area. South or Adams was almost on par with the north side and a little into Kensignton. Of course South of Adams had more room to gentrify and it did too, but the housing stock is for the most part shabbier and the traffic, both vehicular and foot, is worse.( I lived south of Adams and I am not knocking it, just observations.) Some people, myself included, like that it is a walking neighborhood. Especially as the walkers got less scary and less likely to mug someone.People have talked about high prices for funky neighborhoods in Santa Monica or SF and others for decades so It will be interesting if something real puts the breaks on this time around.300k for that house would still be significant.

Just read you last post. I Imagine you are familiar with Rolando? Many people who I have met that like Normal Heights and University Heights also like Rolando. It sounds like a small house will suit you and there are some there nestled between nice larger ones which is usually a plus.April 13, 2008 at 5:06 PM #186251ParticipantMark,
