I have to say that even though I don't think we've seen prices bottom out yet, I'm extremely happy.<BR/><BR/>It seems that your predictions about these East Village places are spot on in terms of the number of ready-to-move-in units. There seemed to be a fair amount of vacant units in The Mark when I was looking in September. Many of which seemed to have had steady price cuts through the year.3DSumoWrestlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17089995002247604279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25213986.post-27405748133293940742008-05-20T17:03:00.000-07:002008-05-20T17:03:00.000-07:00Hi Cort,I'm happy to help you, post here or for qu...Hi Cort,<BR/><BR/>I'm happy to help you, post here or for quicker response my email is brightside@inbox.com.Mr. Brightsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00185212105018833014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25213986.post-48895207704136132552008-05-20T16:39:00.000-07:002008-05-20T16:39:00.000-07:00Just came across your blog.

I've been looking at rents vs. mortgages in case I would want to rent my place out, and they are starting to even out if you can pick up one of these short sales for the low end of their asking price, with reasonable HOA's. I'd be interested to see what you find in your research. Anyway, I'll be checking in on occasion. I'm trying to learn the different areas of Downtown San Diego and what areas are worth looking at. Any advice you or your readers could provide would be helpful.Corthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04532644348815899275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25213986.post-34995929135712485192008-04-04T06:43:00.000-07:002008-04-04T06:43:00.000-07:00Does anyone know if there is a LanRecords online f...Does anyone know if there is a LanRecords online for Cali? We have one here in maryland that has scanned in mortage documents etc that is very helpful in finding out what type of financing the person who owns the property used when buying it. So is there something similar that you can use to look up this info for SD properties?

The Electra is getting ready for a big "race to the bottom" as the speculators try to position their unit as the lowest price unit in their range, and assume that there are just a limited pool of borrowers. I think the Grande is a much better value---- someone messed up in the design of the Electra units---- assuming a building full of elderly bachelor millionaires.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25213986.post-51763474275878359432008-03-02T17:20:00.000-08:002008-03-02T17:20:00.000-08:00Haven't checked in here for a while since no new n...Haven't checked in here for a while since no new news, but a nice roundup of downtown. . .the Electra is starting to become the new "black hole of value" downtown. . .with well over 45 units already on the re-sale market (and no telling how many the builder took back) With high homeowner dues (north of 700) and not the greatest floor plans (I have looked at two or three) it may be a hard sell. . .if people look here and then over at the Grande, they will buy there. . .much better value.<BR/><BR/>Agree, downtown has had some nice improvements since my almost two years of living here - Balboa Theater, US Grant, even some of the empty space on Broadway is filling up (Fudruckers - hey its better than an empty storefront). . . now if we can just get the California Theater moving!!Mark in San Diegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416029834464582618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25213986.post-13132479271280460402008-02-28T14:51:00.000-08:002008-02-28T14:51:00.000-08:00It would be interesting to look at some multifamil...It would be interesting to look at some multifamily projects to see if they pencil out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
