The Market this Fall

[sdrealtor]

Thats an astute observation and a very good point. New homebuyers do tend shop in wider areas while resale homebuyers tend to be far more focused.

I have a client right now that is looking for a specific type of mid-century modern architecture in a price range that can only be found in a small handful of areas. He is not only geographically very focused, he wont even look at a house that does not have the specific design he wants.

I haven’t seen this so much, sdr. Many children live half-time with both mom and dad and only go to school in one of the neighborhoods. In addition, many have zone and interdistrict transfers and are attending school outside of the neighborhood, as well as attending private school and being homeschooled. As a homebuyer, you can’t count on the fact that the kids in the neighborhood will necessarily attend the same school as your child.

Your scenario might have been prevalent 30+ yrs. ago, but now parents have many choices.

Maybe not in your neck of the woods but around me it is the norm. That is part of the big appeal around here.

[quote=sdrealtor] The “sdr areas” held up because there are enough people that can afford them, enough people coming to replace that who cant and enough people who will pay big rents to be here allowing many distressed homeowners to rent it out and hang on for better days. Bring on the next recession, I’m sure it will be as ugly as the last but I have confidence in the staying power and long term growth of my community. Quite simply, I beleive it is as good as it gets anywhere in the US if not the world.[/quote]

Then why have inventories in Encinitas gone up about 40% since December? Even more so in South and West Carlsbad.

Your area hasn’t “held up” to anything yet. Folks in the area are holding out longer because thay can, hoping for a return to “normal” 2005 prices.
Good luck with that.
