[quote=kcal09]This is a traditional sale, but price seems a little high despite the resort-like backyard.

Typical football player. They always go all out on the landscape and the interior.

[quote=EconProf]There are maybe 70 “casitas” of this type in Santaluz, and while this is the biggest of the three casita models, it is perhaps the worst located of all. It is hemmed in by a street on two sides and close-in other units on the other two sides. NO view or feeling of openness like virtually all the other casitas. People buy these for the ambience, one-story privacy, and view, and this unit is lacking.
Considering this, it seems neither too high nor too low in price.[/quote]

good point, the smaller 2200 sqft model that sold late last year backs up to park/grassy area so better location.

[quote=sdrealtor]I would think it was lower as top speed is 23 MPH[/quote]

[quote=kcal09][quote=ocrenter][quote=kcal09]Looks like price has come down quite a bit on this home-this type of home used to be over $1 million. Is it a good deal now or still overpriced?

http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-120001859-8150_Santaluz_Village_San_Diego_CA_92127%5B/quote%5D

Well, these went for around $700k new in 2002. Which means 2001 pricing. Adjusted for inflation and upgrades, this is actually quite a bit lower than 2001 prices.[/quote]

Thank you for the information. Does that mean it’s fairly priced as most other properties have not reached 2001 levels (yet) or is the 2001 price still too high?[/quote]

Assuming this house was 700k in 2002, adjusted for today’s dollar the price without interior/exterior improvements would be 880k.

There’s a smaller model that sold for 740k late last year, smaller by 300 sqft. That house was sold in the high 600k in 2002.

So 760k is a decent price.

[quote=sdrealtor]Listing periods are negotiable but 180 days is standard. Sometimes I will agree to shorter but it depends upon the situation. If I think the price the seller wants to ask is high I am more likely to require the full 180 days. I often invest alot of money upfront to sell a home and want time to prove to the seller we have tested the market. It takes time to get some sellers to realize that the only wrong is the price. I am not saying this is the case here.[/quote]

Makes sense. Especially with the professional photography, the sign, ads, and the number of open houses. Well, hopefully all of these were done for the OP.

I do share the OP’s concerns though. It is the beginning of the spring buying season. If the current realtor has not demonstrated competency, I can see his fear of wasting away precious spring and early summer under the “wrong” realtor.

Realistically, most of their work these days is paperwork. They probably have an algorithm based on value of the loss. FLU’s whole hard disc full of work equals $50 value of the hard drive, which equals the 15 minutes spend on the filing of report. The paperwork has become more important than the actual police work.

Is the 6 month contract pretty standard in the industry?

Also, I would think the agent after a couple of months without any bites would probably not put up too much of a fight to keep the listing.

thats one reason i liked blinds.com so much. we did bamboo shades for the house. for some areas, we wanted the shades with the backing to block the sun. for other areas just the regular shade without the sunblock. they had options for both. plus they let me chose which side the string would go on. now how cool is that?

use this link to find your property and associated mello roos info, best to use parcel number.

Somehow I’m getting much higher interest rates doing back calculations based on the actual total bond compared to the interest rate the MR management company quoted. The approx payoff they provided was quite off too compared to the actual amount from the original docs pulled from the above link.

Consider going with an online company like blinds.com! The prices are not bad and everything can be fitted per your measurement.

Personally I have not heard anyone use “sayonara” since the 80’s. Kinda like the same aged Thomas Bros that told our LETDLITA 4S was part of city of SD.

That also explains the labeling of scripps as far flung. Someone once told me just a few decades prior it use to be completely desolate between Escondido to miramar.

Now it all make sense. It is always important to step into other peoples shoes, in this case, the shoes just happen to be stuck couple of decades prior.

Thanks to TG for the market update. I do have to say the $370k sale looked a lot better and had more bells and whistles. Adjusting for inflation and the added upgrades, prob just slightly up. Still sucks big time for folks that bought in a over 600k.

[quote=sdrealtor]LOl and that serious mega calculation requires any more than pushing a button. Two words….Turbo…Tax[/quote]

Haha… I was thinking more mortgage/interest rate calculator. Well, at least they were helpful enough to provide a fairly close approximation.

[quote=temeculaguy]Something stinks in denmark. The math doesn’t work. With all the taxpayer watchdog hype going on, I wonder if any of these watchdog agencies would look into this, that district at appears to be raping people. They pay between 1% and 6% and charge 9%, not to mention their ability to raise the rate to the residents while enjoying a fixed rate? They also charge a fee to give out info that probably takes them a few minutes at a computer? I’m not a conspiracy theorist but something is wrong with this picture. I’ll bet a nickel the district barely understands it, this is screaming for an audit if you can find an auditor that understands the premise that borrowing 60k per parcel at 2-6% does not amount to 5600 a year with possible rate hikes.[/quote]

I called the managing company and asked about the possibility of rate reduction/refi by the CFD distric, what was said was that some of the bonds carry penalties against refis for up to 10 years. Hence the jacked up outrageous interest rate. As for the fees, apparently there’s some serious mega calculation they got to do to figure out the actual repayment. Go figure.
