SD Realtor,

Thanks for responding and thanks for the encouraging words. I didn’t realize it had been on the market for 1.7M last June; that is some consolation.

It will be interesting to see what it went for. 1468 Crest, with a small teardown, went for 1.3M in late ’04. But arguably it had a better view as it didn’t directly overlook the mega-greenhouse complex that 1534 overlooks. At the time I couldn’t believe someone would just drop that kind of money on the place, scrape the lot, and then just SIT on it. It’s still an empty lot today. There’s some serious money in north county. Oh well, I’ll keep trying.

That was me. It’s under “A Day Late and a Dollar Short” but here’s the original post:

Do any of you Pigg Realtors know the story on 1534 Crest Dr., 92024?

I was working up the courage to submit an offer on it when it went pending. After only two weeks on the market. With multiple offers. Good grief. Will this never end? I realize Encinitas hasn’t seen the kind of price declines that other SD Zips have, but I figured at least it would be on the market for a month or so. They never even put up a sign. Honestly, sometimes it feels no different to me now than it did in the fall of 2004, the last time I tried to stick my toe in the market (but wisely did not… I guess… well maybe… trying not to lose faith… ).

Please spare me the reproaching comments about even entertaining the notion of buying without a 50% price decline. I have domestic tranquility issues to deal with.

While I appreciate all the heartfelt marital advice, I was really just hoping to get the scuttlebut on this property (SD Realtor, Carlsbad Jim, et al.) I was just amazed at how quickly it went and I had that 2004 deja vu feeling — not fun.

And trust me, I am a bear on the housing market. I’ve been waiting for over four years now. I’ve made a calculated decision that if the right property comes along that works for my family, I’ll move on it. I fully understand that prices are likely to decline further, even in coastal North County. I think it’s great that many of you will wait it out and buy at the bottom — more power to you. It’s just not the path for me, at this point in my life.
