ParticipantHow did you manage to get a 2Bd rental down to 11K?
I wonder if the SFR’s in Penasquitos would ever come down to around 300K (our target). The cheapest right now seems to be this little 2/1 at 350K:

ParticipantWow, the company deal is pretty sweet! Full ride through undergrad, plus a much better stipend than the typical PhD student. I hope you like your PhD area. PhD is super tough even if you love your work; it becomes just about impossible if your heart isn’t in it. Good luck!
On the other hand, instead of thinking of your 6 years of commitment as indentured service, I’d think of it as a secure job, especially as they’re probably paying much more than what the average junior faculty make, not to mention the academic jobs are hellishly impossible to get.
Anyway, since I was one of the “lucky” people who did just land a tenure-track position at UCSD, I’m paying close attention to this thread to see what you house market junkies think about this area. I have similar financial circumstances as rEQ. We want a 2bd condo, or a modest house on a modest lot. BTW, there’s no subsidy for faculty housing, and my husband is not up to rooming with grad students/postdocs. We plan to have kids at some point but probably no school-age kids in the next 6-8 years. Oh, and I’m not in economics or finance, I study decision-making. π
What do you all think would be the best time to buy into the UTC condo market? The N. Clairemont area seems a little shady. How are the Scripps Ranch & Pansquitos neighborhoods? What about Ramona? What do you expect the PPSF to bottom out at for these respective areas?
Thanks in advance for your input!

ParticipantMy first post — thanks for all the great info on this site.
I know most people don’t especially care for condos here, but this condo in Clairemont seems especially distressed:
http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-086009773-4885_Cole_32_San_Diego_CA_921174885 Cole #32, 2/1.5
Sales History

02/13/2004 $227,000
03/07/1991 $70,000
08/24/1983 $56,400Listing Price Changes
Price Reduced: 04/18/2008 from $160,000 to $149,900
Price Reduced: 04/03/2008 from $225,000 to $160,000

Price Reduced: 02/11/2008 from $299,000 to $250,00052% off 07/07 sales price, 50% off 02/08 original asking price!
It looks like a bank foreclosure (no stove?), but otherwise in good shape. What do you all think? Will this set the norm for condo pricing in Clairemont?
