barnaby33ParticipantWell Perry, you’re honest and slimy at the same time. I’m not sure which affects me more; your honesty about a willingness to engage in fraud, or your recognition of it as such.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantJG I think there is a very real demand, it just comes it to play when owning and renting (condos particularly) aren’t that different in cost.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantNeetaT, you can use zip realty. when you do a search of all SD it gives you the total count. Its the most accurate number that non-realtors have access to.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantNobody made us debt slaves, we did it to ourselves. This is alot like the smoking debate. Sure its bad, but its a matter of choice. Quit blaming the person offering the loan. This has been beaten to death in the past on this board.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantI’m getting to know San Diego really well just surfing the Net. Since I’m not emotional about RE, I find it kind of fun. Better than watching TV. 🙂
Not to mention not nearly so mind numbing. With very few exceptions, TV is now far too passive for me.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantI don’t know Steve, I have seen lots of listings on CL that are reduced in Del Cerro and San Carlos. Its sort of like a nicer version of Clairemont. Lots of old housing stock that people bought to flip. Seems like lots of flips gone flock.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantHey but if you need to sell, he gets you your number, legally or otherwise!
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantCareful PerryChase, that comes dangerously close to justifying criminal behaviour. All I said is that JG’s assertion is a fantasy, not that I wouldn’t confront a burglar in my home with a gun.
There are lots of places where people are poor on a scale Americans arent even aware of, but not all of them have high crime.
There are lots of reasons why America has higher crime than other places, no one reason is the big reason. Drugs are probably one, but so is lack of education and its attendant economic opportunities.
I was just curious as to other peoples crime experiences here in this part of town. To me the problem is getting severely worse.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantThats just a fantasy JG and not a particularly helpful one. Afghanistan has more guns per person than anywhere else on the planet and its not safe. I am a gun owner and I don’t believe that line. Guns don’t make people safe, a responsible citizenry does. Guns are just a tool.

Unable to accurately describe my feelings and frustrated by the feeling that someone else out there must feel the same as me. Are you my soul mate?
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantUm its not complicated, prices drop. What you paid is irrelevant. I remember this primo (or so the schmoes thought) development near Poway high that went through that in the last bust. Man the people who bought it from the developer took a hosing for years when they had to sell, regardless of the origonal cost basis.
Tis but one of the myriad reasons to buy as close the bottom as possible.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantDon’t sweat it, everyone on this board would get a lump of coal for xmas if the REIC were Santa!
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantAnx, on average I agree with you. Its just to coax me out as a buyer right now, thats what I would have to see. All I am waiting for really is that the median price has moved below the long term trend line of appreciation. That will happen and I will stake my claim to it. San Diego has always been less affordable and probably always will be so, than most other places.
That being said, everytime we have a major housing drop, the median falls below that long term appreciation trend. Thats the actual buy signal for me. Jumping the gun so to speak just requires the deal to be bullet proof, which is why I say it seems far to early to bite.
At the very least 2007 is going to be a VERY good year to us bubble sitters, unless some exogenous event occurs. Why commit early when its pretty damned obvious 07 will say a big rise in foreclosures, number of units on the market and corresponding drop in prices.
Merry festivus for the rest of us!
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantWe shouldn’t be the “next” wave of patient buyers. We should be the last(as a group), before it starts back up the roller coaster again.
Why should any of the regulars on this board, who obviously have a passion for this pay more than they have to. Prices are falling at this point fast enough that its like a free month or two of rent(EVERY MONTH) for anything you don’t buy!
