New Encinitas House Hunter

[waiting for bottom]

I am confused. I agree that Encinitas is overpriced, and it hasn’t fallen much. Why does everyone talk about high inventry and lowering prices in Encinitas? I am looking for a 4 bed with 200 sq ft built any year but somewhat updated….and I get very few houses. Best one I have been able to find is $800K and is in the Flora Vista/Digueno school area. House should be $400K at best IMHO.

What gives?

Hi SD Realtor, thanks for your response. I’ve read many of your other responses and appreciate your experience. We have placed an offer on a short sale, but its taking so long that I’m not holding my breath for it. We’re continuing to look and hoping that something comes up in the meantime.

I went into this process totally uninformed (still am, mostly) so when the right house pops up, I want to jump on it. I want to know which area in Encinitas would be best for us to focus our search on with our budget- max $700,000.

I know, I know everyone wants us to wait. But sometimes the right time personally isn’t the right time market-wise, everyone has different priorities. Buying a house for use is much more than a business decision (you can be sure i’ll never own an investment property). My hubby and I are both new doctor’s trying to late-start on a family, we are buying within our means and are ready to put down roots. My biological clock is way stronger than any real-estate predictions 🙂

Again, I appreciate the input.

Waiting,

There was a house at 304 Trailview Road in Encinitas which was listed for $540K.

It was a 4/2, 1980 sf.

It’s pending now, but I am seeing a few “good deals” every now and again (“good deal” meaning relative to the current and peak market prices). This one might be under contract for a higher price — there are bidding wars for the better priced homes.

They are out there, and they’re coming on more frequently. This one probably would have listed in the $700K+ range at peak.

Wait, it is still 2006 in Encinitas as far as pricing goes. Another reason to wait is that is it spring, Encintas is primarily comprised of families and families include women and women experience their greatest nesting urge in spring. Coupled with the fact that men experience their greatest procreation urge in spring, thus succumbing to their mate’s nesting urge in trade. Encinitas will get a false bounce in the spring, better buys are to be found in August or September when the divorce hormone is most prevalent.

Sorry, thougt I’d put into medical terms as much as possible, but spring is a terrible time to buy in any area. Spring is the season to rent. November or December, now were talking, unfortunately for Encinitas, November of 2009 is the earliest planned arrival of the pain train.
