News Flash – San Diego Real Estate is Downright Affordable!

KrisBerg05 a.jpgFinally, a positive perspective on our real estate market in San Diego, and it comes from Seattle.  Robbie Paplin of the Rain City Guide, a must-read Blog if you fashion yourself a real estate junkie, had some interesting thoughts on California real estate prices (http://www.raincityguide.com/2006/06/07/want-to-live-in-the-golden-state-bring-lots-of-evergreen-state-money/). It seems that he finds our housing prices surprisingly affordable, or “downright cheap” in his words.  I think this is a good reality check for many of us.  We tend to forget that we live in one of the country’s most beautiful cities and enjoy almost perfect weather.  For many of us, it is the quality of life that brought us here, and it is that quality of life which will keep us here.  Yeah, think of what our home equity would get us in Toledo?  But, it would, afterall, end up being in Toledo! (No offense, Ohio).  So, next time we all whine about the cost of San Diego real estate, remember where we live, and remember that at least one person in Seattle thinks we are a bargain.

    I thought that your post was looking lonely with no comments, so here we go. I think the reason for no reaction here is the fact that some people don’t believe this is the case…myself not included. A realtor was walking by my desk while this page was up and started laughing because they thought that you mis-wrote your title. Perception is everything and San Diego as a whole needs a way to break through the bad press. Regardless, I don’t know what it is going to take for people to stop whining and making excuses on our current market. People…it’s not that bad. Get on board and ride the wave. Just make sure that your mortgage person has made your investment a little less risky (longer termed fixed products).

    Thanks, Anthony, for keeping my post company. (And for the shameless self-promotion).

    I was not trying to do any self-promotion…but thanks for putting me in my place. By the way, very nice post this afternoon. Something happen recently that struck a cord?
