I’m not going to ‘out’ you, but given the information you’ve presented here, like sdr, I think I can tell which one is yours on sdlookup. It looks like you should expect to negotiate that price. Rather than asking a buyer to justify his offer, you simply have two choices:

1. counter
2. don’t counter

I live in CV, and I’d agree with you that sfr pricing here is resilient (unlike condos), but time will tell.

I have made exactly that argument on this site a few times. Dense, downtown condo concentrations in San Diego and elsewhere may be a market disaster today, but their utility (and value) will be very much appreciated in the years to come.

Global financial and credit tomfoolery aside, a common response to the mentality that downtown property values will recover due to demographic and energy concerns is that such a living arrangement is a ‘young professional’s thing’ and that ‘families will seek out the suburbs’. This directly misses the point. Attitudes will change if circumstances compel them to change; families, kids and all, will learn to live without wasting so much energy on transportation.

Of course, this is all predicated on downtown actually being a walkable, livable community. My experience in downtown is limited to a few Padres games, and it did not strike me pleasantly walkable. Anyone here living in downtown have insights on this?

You’re right about the quality and value of the comments.

The site seems to be working fine now. I waited to start this thread because I was having the same problems with the website while the story was up on CNN. As of this writing it seems OK.

Lastly, how does climate play into the fundamentals? Most places in the US have crummy waether compared to San Diego. That said, shouldn’t we pay a premium for year around good weather

Homes in SoCal have always been more expensive than most parts of the country, and I’m sure they always will be. As has been covered here on piggington, the weather didn’t suddenly grow to super-mega-awesome from 2000 to 2005.

Whenever this thing bottoms out, people will still pay a premium to live here compared to prices elsewhere.
