ParticipantJane. I just love that post. You have the kind of sarcastic bent my wife has.
As a fellow very near future buyer, you have my blessing. Once we both buy, we have to convince all our friends and whoever will listen that they should buy too, cuz we need the fall to stop at that point and I still have to sell my current house after all.

ParticipantI will provide some balance, since I am a buyer in the market and may buy very soon. This market is not for the feint of heart.
I figure any agent with less than 10 yrs experience has not experienced a real buyer’s market. Consequently, they are not very experienced with short sales or foreclosures unless they specialize in the latter. They are also not used to agressive offers and creative buyer favorable terms. My own agent can not understand half the offers I have written, because of all the non financial terms I put in there and because of how I structure the financial terms.
Many times she just says she does not want to submit them because they will upset the seller or confuse the heck out of them. We submit them anyway, thanks, in part, to advice from SD Realtor and Rustico. Eventually, somebody will bite. As buyers get more skittish and become fewer in number, sellers get more desperate, at least the ones without their heads in the sand who are emotionally attached to their asking price. Heck, I am about to become a desperate seller myself. 😉

ParticipantRene. Thanks for the school info. This past month we have written close to a dozen offers on homes in RSF, but also in Santaluz. Many of those have already worked themselves through, particularly all the under $3M ones, where, as I mentioned, there was competition and I don’t take the bait in bidding wars.
My offers in Santaluz were the most agressive for the reasons I mention so that is more of a waiting game. If I could get a home at the price and terms I offered, I could just end up there. Right now, ironically, it is homes there and in FBR left from my round of offers that are still the front runners, though FBR seems more likely, unless the Santaluz sellers finally blink.
Funny, I first found out about Santaluz when a former boss of mine I admire sold his beautiful house in RSF to buy one in Santaluz. I put it on my radar screen, but when I looked into it, I did not get it. His RSF house was just amazing to me when I last went there. My agent convinced me to look in Santaluz anyway and I have been back 5 times now looking at homes. Now I get it. I could happily live there at the right price.
Anyway. It seems very likely I will join the Santaluz club, even if I buy in FBR.
George: I am not sure if there are current listings in Fairbanks Highlands, but there were a few I looked at last year and a few of them may be pocket listings now you can find. The link below will give you info of the area and the agent on the top had a couple listings in there last year. She is very nice and a very honest listing agent from my experience.

Maybe you can hire SD Realtor to look at her listings there. I have learned much from him.
FYI. Just to clarify FBR, Cielo, Crosby, Covenant, Digueno Hills, Rancho Valencia, Bridges, RSF Farms, and a few other areas are all part of RSF. Santaluz, Fairbanks Highlands, and, of course, CV are part of San Diego.
