Participant[quote=AN]http://www.sdlookup.com/Real_Estate-Bonita-Houses_For_Sale-91902, this is the list of all active listings in 91902. This is where I got the $200k price from. As you can see from that list, there are 5 in the $200k range, 6 in the $300k range. So, although they’re not the majority of 91902, they are there. There are 11 properties currently active above $700k and 11 properties bellow $400k. So, I stand corrected. Their range should be $400k-600k, not $200k-600k. You do get a lot for $400k-$600k here. I wish I can get that kind of house for that kind of price up here.[/quote]
I have just started using SD Lookup b/c Piggs are using it and it is SHOCKING to me to see street after street how much the prices have fallen!

Participant[quote=AN]I checked up on 91902 again to see why why you think I was mistaken. I still don’t know what you’re talking about. Are these not 92102 SFR?

AN, I didn’t say that you were “mistaken,” I said you skewed values in 91902 b/c you used some condos to arrive at SFR values. You had the SFR values in 91902 as low as $200K in one of your posts.
On your 3 active listings, two are on Fallbrook Ct. in Bonita Hills. Two houses at the end of this cul-de-sac have about 30 vehicles between them, parked all over the place. About three houses are painted extremely bright colors. It’s kind of a junky street b/c of this. Because the first one is a heavy fixer, the buyers were probably already nervous about it, thus they saw a way to back out when the bank played games over $500. Don’t know what the liens are the buyers would be asked to pay. I don’t believe there is an HOA there. I was in this property before it was gutted and it is very dark inside and the backyard small. The lots (exc. for one with a long driveway) on Fallbrook aren’t very lg. by Bonita stds. Your 3rd active listing is on SW Road (main route to Spring Valley), a “stone’s throw” from the South County Animal Shelter (dogs barking day and night). This is why the low prices of your actives.
On your solds, the first two properties are 70’s fixers. Both need a lot of work, the 2nd more than the 1st. Both still have accoustical ceiling in some rooms. The first one is also subject to very strict Bonita Highlands HOA CC&R’s such as: You cannot park boats or RV’s in front of the most forward part of your house and they must be gated 6’ high. Any non-running vehicle parked in the driveway must be covered. An owner can only choose from their list of paint and roofing mat’l and the combo must go thru them first. You cannot have anything taller than your back fence (6’) stored or built (i.e. satellite dish, gazebo, etc.) Your 2nd sold in “Bonita Ridge Estates” is on a smallish lot where the backyard is directly above Otay Lakes Rd., a main thoroughfare used by residents of 91913, 91914 and 91915. It is also a bus route to all the schools and college and is extremely noisy. Your 3rd sold in Bonita Long Canyon “Colton Trails” is on one of the most coveted streets with the longest driveways and largest lots in the development. $555K is a very good buy for that property as it also has walking trail access to BVH and nearby park. However, the BLC open space suffers from high power lines.
Exc. for the last one in Colton Trails, none of your actives/solds here are “upper MC.” I’m going to revise my demographic for 91902 to “MC, Upper MC and Wealth.” I moved away from there 9 years ago but it is starting to look a little “raggedy around the edges” due to the aging of the housing stock and lack of maintenance.

Participant[quote=AN] . . . Are you talking about condos and townhouses on the other side of the 5? I think west of the 5 by LJ Village Square have LJ zip code while east of the 5 is 92122 and is consider UC. La Jolla Colony is 92122. . . [/quote]
Yes, the spacious “3-story” condos were west of the 5, behind Ralph’s – is Ralph’s still there??
Thank you for the clarification on LJ Colony. I remember a big community uproar when it was proposed b/c the developers wanted to cram so many units in there.

Participant[quote=captcha]. . . You just need to be willing to purchase Spring clothes in Fall and vice-versa.[/quote]
UCGal, I did this every year when my kids were in Elem. School. Be flexible. You have to buy a size or two up. Holiday velvet outfits in Jan. were $6-$12 (retail $75-90). Easter dresses in July for $8 (retail $40-50). Shorts in Sept. at $5 ea. Jeans in Feb. for $8 ea. Boots in Jan for $8-12. You get the picture. Always shopped at Macy’s, Robinson-May and Penneys and always bought top brand names, nothing less.
Don’t be afraid to purchase underwear and socks on the broken packages table. They’re .50 ea. Sometimes designer clothing (ex. Guess?) was stepped on or slightly ripped. If you pointed that out at the register, you could get another 10-15% off. Go home and wash it and take 5 mins. sewing it 🙂
Of course, it helped that I was in South Bay, where all the county stores dump their unsold inventory for fast clearance. I always got there right when the stores opened on a Sat. morn. and waited in line to get in 🙂
