    All,

    Offer was accepted on a 1/1 in Carmel Valley, pretty much exactly what I am looking for. Before I pull the trigger, I had a question.

    The current tenant rents and was extremely helpful and honest when I visiting the unit.

    Since it is a lower end unit with a single neighbor above, I asked about noise. She mentioned they just installed wood floors and you could hear it, but it wasn’t super bad.

    I lived on the bottom floor of a complex very close to this one and never noticed any noise.

    I’m looking for some advice/thoughts from anyone who’s had experience living below someone w/wood floors. For what it’s worth, these were built as condos and are not conversions.

    Thanks much

    Personally that kind of noise drives me nuts but you are the one that might be living there. You pretty much always will have some sort of noise in a condo and being a end unit should help your cause.

    If you are getting a great deal on the condo then might be smart to go forward because if noise bothers you too much in the future then you could sell and still break even or make a little.

    I think it’s a fair deal. According to historical data it matches first quarter of 2001.

    Initial google searches seem negative. I know it’s subjective though so hoping I can get an appointment setup with the tenant to gauge the noise prior to committing.

    How bad the noise will be depends on the neighbor above. I’ve rented apartments where the place above had hard wood floors and had to break the lease because their kids chased each other around the house for hours at a time. I’ve known others that have had similar problems. Keep in mind that even if the current neighbor above is quiet, they could always move away and a bad neighbor could move in. If it was up to me, I’d wait until I found a unit on the top floor if you think there’s a chance of that at all.
