Let’s just say we feel we got a decent deal, because prices were marked down from where they were initially, once they figured out the demand and correct price point. In addition, we have a great view! Plus, no one behind us and no one across the street.
I do know prices have continued to go down, even from when we bought. It’s just a sign of the times. We plan to be here for several years, so we aren’t worried if prices drop another 10% or even 20%.
We’re the type that are willing to wait, knowing that 10-20 years from now, these houses will all be in the high $900 or $1 million+ again for Eaglepointe homes once the buildout is complete.
Psychologically, people don’t like to wait for things to happen. They want it all right now. Do you realize that Bel Etage in RB used to be in the mid $800k, now you can’t touch them for less than $1 mill or more. It would be a lot higher if it wasn’t for the RE market crash.
IMO, it’s like making an investment in a company. There is risk in this, yet you take all things into consideration, and based on the future plan, think, I believe demand for this area will go up over time. In general, by increasing demand, prices should go up. Remember Apple, the company, at one time, no one wanted to touch that stock either, but, smart investors, seeing the future plan, took a chance, bought the stock, and today, well, you know the story!

on one hand I applaud your ability to find a residence that encompassed all that you desired, independent of purchase price at that time. But, in the next breath you write of buying the house as an investment you HOPE to make money on.
Both don’t go hand-in-hand.
Not to point a stick or start a philosophical debate, but the more you describe reason(s) for buying the property, the more confused you seem to appear.
BTW, comparing your buying of in Santee now to East Village of 10 years ago, further solidifies your apparent confusion.

Just remember that people can lie to themselves just as easily as any salesperson can. These are called rationalizations.I’m not saying people shouldn’t hope for a better tomorrow and all that, but they should go in with their eyes wide open.
I appreciate that it’s nice for people to feel good about their choices, but at some point…[/quote]
Yes. Emotions can and do fool us all.
Has become apparent in this thread some are interchanging factual data & emotion as they see fit for both themselves and others.
SkyRanch person has provided easy access to links regarding the area. For that, the work is appreciated.
If one were to do same for each/every area in San Diego, it would make all of our ‘jobs’ easier in residence search. Be this person in sales or not, such research is applauded. Seems safe to state, a % of people don’t put the same work and thought into purchase.
But again, where said person(SRO)comes up short, is substituting personalized emotion for data/fact. This is where I hold ‘information’ at fault, and therefore checked out the area in question myself.

And for the record Sharp and Children’s are nowhere near 6 miles away from the Golden Triangle border of the 52/805 intersection. Look at a map, it wont hurt you.[/quote]
Not that it matters, but if you truly want to be(more) specific:
the center point of 52/805 to children’s hospital is roughly 3.7 miles, using latitude/longitude & my calculations. So add to that roughly 1 mile to allow for driving.
