SD Condo article in LA Times

[briansd1]

1) According to SDlookup there are 545 units for sale on the MLS, plus many hundreds more of developer inventory, plus shadow inventory.

2) The UT sales numbers you quoted include developer sales and the majority of developer units are not listed on the MLS since they are direct sales to the home-buyers.

Eugene, I didn’t attack you personally. I questioned your revision of the data.

You may question the purpose of my being on this site just like I question your data.

As I recall, you put your neck out there and called the bottom in Q4 after you bought your house. It’s up to you to defend your position.

As I recall, you’re still renting and called the bottom is far far away. So, it’s up to you to defend your position.

another thing not addressed in the article is that people are realizing that living downtown isn’t all that great a lifestyle – street people pissing on the side of your home doesn’t really make for Shangri-la in most people’s books – “Come on over for dinner, Margie, just ignore the homeless and urine smell on your way in” – families are also realizing that raising Johnie and Janie in the middle of a big city isn’t what they thought it would be – the idea that people shopping in other condo markets will “overflow” into downtown is a stretch IMO[/quote]

I completely agree. Downtown living is not for everyone. I know people who run out of room living in their small units. Those apartments aren’t very inviting when stuffed full of junk.

Friends and family visiting from the suburbs usually come only once and never return because it’s hard to find free parking.

People who do own Downtown get tired of paying $500+++ in HOA every month. The restaurants are expensive; and after ownership expenses, people don’t really enjoy Downtown much anymore.

I don’t think so AN. I’ll see the bottom coming when I see it.

It’s very different from having called the bottom and putting money at risk, then hoping you were right.

I can still be right. But if you were wrong, there’s no way to make it right.
