ParticipantMark,
Just read you last post. I Imagine you are familiar with Rolando? Many people who I have met that like Normal Heights and University Heights also like Rolando. It sounds like a small house will suit you and there are some there nestled between nice larger ones which is usually a plus.ParticipantMark,

I never could believe the prices for the little detached homes on Meade between the freeways because of the traffic and location to El Cajon Blvd. These would definitely be good bellwethers too because so many of them sold at or near the peak. Some multiple times.
Really, like Mark, I couldn’t believe the prices for any of them in the area. South or Adams was almost on par with the north side and a little into Kensignton. Of course South of Adams had more room to gentrify and it did too, but the housing stock is for the most part shabbier and the traffic, both vehicular and foot, is worse.( I lived south of Adams and I am not knocking it, just observations.) Some people, myself included, like that it is a walking neighborhood. Especially as the walkers got less scary and less likely to mug someone.People have talked about high prices for funky neighborhoods in Santa Monica or SF and others for decades so It will be interesting if something real puts the breaks on this time around.300k for that house would still be significant.

ParticipantNormal Heights is sort of hanging in there. The gentrification element of the last decade or so must be why. This is not the Normal Heights of the 90’s bust. I look at active pending last night and for other clues that it might be ready to crack. The ratio was weak but not terrible. Only the doggiest house is looking anything like depressed. Little declines despite the fact that Normal Heights probably appreciated as much as any other area. some years in the neighborhood of 30% on top decent apprecitation before that. Crazy is right. How much Middle class/bohemian /eclectic can you find in San Diego?It is centrally located and it is adjacent to better places not worse,Kensington and Universtiy Heights. That just must be it. I was hoping to buy one of the few lots left where a second unit can be built there but that action isn’t anywhere near penciling out. 92104 is much weaker in the more degraded parts now especially. I think it is just a matter of time until you see Normal Heights take some hard hits.How hard will be interesting to see.I would think it happens in the next six months a year at the latest. Having rented, owned a few houses and worked around Adams ave. I understand the shock. I have mixed feelings because I am glad of the changes for my friends who own businesses and live there still and disappointed in the lack of opportunity for the rest who like the place and face sticker shock still.
I met my wife at Lestat’s btw and I knew it could happen after the changes started occuring. Before it was more or less out of the question meeting someone like my wife there.Gotta take the good with the bad!ParticipantNormal Heights is sort of hanging in there.
