October 12, 2006 at 11:15 AM in reply to: Has Price-to-Annualized Rent Ever Been Normal in San Diego? #37765barnaby33ParticipantFrom the BLS website:
The expenditure weight in the CPI for rent is obtained by directly asking sampled renter households the following question:What is the rental charge to your CU for this unit including any extra charges for garage & parking facilities? Do not include direct payments by local, state or federal agencies. What period of time does this cover?
However, the expenditure weight in the CPI for rental equivalence is obtained by directly asking sampled owner households the following question:
If someone were to rent your home today, how much do you think it would rent for monthly, unfurnished and without utilities?
In English it means that, “rent of primary residence,” is just that rent paid by renters. “Owner equivalent rent,” is a more squishy figure derived from asking owners what their house would rent for.

barnaby33ParticipantCareful tucker, with that much spittle drooling out the corners of your mouth, you are sure to short circuit the keyboard.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantWeather = Great
Commute = Terrible
Large Hispanic community = ? (though it does tend to concentrate in older central vista)
Diversity of housing types = Good (I tend to feel Shadow Ridge is soul-less, but I hate urban sprawl and tracts, there are however lots of options)
City govt = Bad (According to others I have no personal insight)
Culture = Non-existent
Religious Affinity = ? (Vista had when I lived there the highest number of church’s per person in SD)
Schools = Mediocre (At best)Josh
barnaby33ParticipantI just wanted to make sure it got said one more time, the commute from anywhere along the 78 to anywhere in central San Diego is hellish. I used to do it, so I know. It was bad enough that I would work late on fridays!
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantJust stick with Craigs List its incomplete and the information is even more wildly inaccurate!

October 3, 2006 at 9:04 AM in reply to: People still buying – masses have no clue about bubble #37121barnaby33ParticipantKeep waiting…I’m sure that one special deal on that house that no one is in the market for is waiting for you, because, after all, you’re the smart one with the plan and of course, no one is behind you waiting for the same thing with the same idea. We’re all going to get rich or into a home when the big boom hits and the foreclosure market opens up and we’ll all have our pick of whatever house is out there….
get real.
Wow that sounds like me! It sounds alot like marriage. All I need is one, priced right.
Lots of people have the same idea, the difference is going forward, most won’t have the cash. If you don’t agree with the concensus on this board, then by all means stick around and provide facts(contra). Otherwise, you are just another troll.

October 1, 2006 at 10:46 PM in reply to: If nobody’s buying, it’s because your price is wrong #36985barnaby33ParticipantNo probably not, lest they wouldn’t have reached that inventory number in the first place. I realize the answer is a bit pendantic, but the question seems pure rhetoric.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantI could call your company if it would make you feel less worried. I don’t know that it will help your bottom line though.
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantNot that I totally disagree, but how does any of the borderline religion bashing help here?
I thought MyDosAreLazy started this thread to bemoan his lack of friendships. There are plenty of websites where you can have political debates, but not so many where you can lament the more subtle aspects of life. I would much rather see a post about how you bridge the gap and build a friendship with someone from the other side of the fence, whatever the fence.
Unless anonymity truly does breed contempt. I wouldn’t post anything on a thread I wouldn’t say to someones face and since I went to the last meetup others had a chance to size up what they saw versus what I post. Are the rest of you willing to do the same?
See ya in November!
Josh
barnaby33ParticipantGotta chime in on this one. SD realtor your post somehow suggested that there are all these young engineers walking around making buckets of money, that just isn’t so. Asianautica is right it takes almost 10 years to hit 100k. Engineers today earn about what they did twenty years ago, adjusted for inflation.
During the height of the boom that was true. You can’t however compare the height of the boom and make it seem average its not. I was one of those overpaid engineers, just out of school, at that time. For the priveledge of being overpaid for one to one and a half years I paid the price of being unemployed for 7+ months over the next 2 years.
There is alot of IT in San Diego, but alot of those jobs aren’t necessarily the highest rungs of the ladder. There are lots of sys admins and server admins etc who make 40-70 a year.
Its ludicrous to posit that any one profession is powerfull enough to move the market. If so housing prices would have exploded in 1998, when the tech bubble was forming. Not over the last 6 while the job market has been mostly lackluster to say the least.
