Hi exeunt

Thanks for taking time to reply my specific queries.
Yes, I am inclined to use redfin services though I am quite novice on home front. This would be our first home when we buy. We almost bought into a new development in 2004 but dropped out sensing a possible downturn. ( Dekh ke chal raha hun..Thanks for the advice)

So, how smooth was your experience with RedFin? Since there are a lot of paper works involved,do I loose any advantage vs. an agent in person? But it seems like RedFin is doing it all just like real agent..Then how do they afford to be so low priced? Is it because, the buyer is basically going around and finding the home he/she wants to purchase.

Another thing that comes to mind: will seller’s agent will push back or avoid if an offer goes thru RedFin? I assume there would be a lot of resistance to this new method of brokerage. How to get around that?

Btw, for the two homes I was targeting to put an offer on, went to Escrow. It seems home have started selling and selling rather fast.

Thanks again…

Hi SD Realtor,

Thanks for your reply.
I am looking at some houses in 92129 zip code. ( Rancho PQ).
There is nothing unique about the properties I am looking at. Simple attached homes( 2-unit Condo), around 1700 sqft each and one of them has quite a large yard but not in great shape.
The area and community is very desirable and closer to my work. One of the houses in listed @499k and the other is @ 525k(one with bigger yard).

What should be a resonable offer to put in these cases?

Thanks

Hello SD Realtor,

Just a quick question for you.

Whatever sales that you have seen or executed thus far in 2007, what’s the general trend as far accepted offers go?

Were accepted offers always 5-10% below the list price?
We are actively looking for a home and hence the questions.

Thanks

Hi,

I am curious if there is any way I can find out from online sources, the list of “Open Houses” in a given neighborhood or zip code?

would appreciate your response.

Hi,

A little off-topic question.
Is there a way I can find the list of “open-houses” in a particular neighborhood or zip-codes?

I could always drive by and see them but thought there would be a better way of finding a list…

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Is anybody tracking Raveena and Amante communities ( Lyon Homes) in 4s ranch area? Are there are lot of flippers there?
Are the homes holding on to the price or have gone down?

Thanks

Thnx for your inputs.

From Zillow’s database, I am seeing one consistent trend in the market valuation chart of 5-yrs for any SD county home.
The price incline was rather linear until Jan-2004. Beyond jan-2004, the incline was steep and sharp until it went flat and started to correct downwardly.

Now that it’s on a decline, will it be fair to assume that decline would stop when rate of incline becomes linear again?
(Didn’t speculate what that normal rate of incline could be)

For example, for the above mentioned home i.e. 14624 Carmel Ridge Rd, a decline to the level of 450k-500k would restore the home back to the previous slope.

Can I generalize the trend like this or my novice observation is flawed?
