Park Place ’03 Units for sale!
August 18th, 2011 Categories: San Diego Real Estate Deals
Park Place is a condo building in downtown San Diego that rarely sees condos for sale. In all of 2010, there were only 8 sales in the entire building. And it’s not because it’s a bad building – it’s because no one wants to leave! One of the reasons why people love this Bosa building, is because of it’s incredible views. The ’03 and ’04 units have incredible, protected water views.
Trellis Condo Deal
July 26th, 2011 Categories: San Diego Real Estate Deals
Originally I thought I had a client for this deal, but since that didn’t workout, here you go! Last week, a condo at the Trellis condo building in downtown San Diego came on the market at an incredible price. It’s a 910 sqft, 2br/2ba condo on the 8th floor. It faces east primarily, but has views to the north and south as well.
This is Why I love Vegas…
May 16th, 2011 Categories: San Diego Real Estate Deals
Generally speaking, a realtor who sells a $190,000 home, will get paid about 2.5-3% of the sales price – $4750-5700. After paying for his/her transaction coordinator, office/franchise fees, errors and omissions insurance, getting the client a gift, etc…the agent sees about $2500-5000 (depending on what their split is with their company). Not a bad paycheck. However, when someone spends $190,000 at a bar in Las Vegas, the server/host gets 20% of the bill, earning almost $30,000!
One Day Only SALE at Bayside Condos!
May 10th, 2011 Categories: BOSA Development, San Diego Real Estate Deals
Well…not one day, but TWO DAYS! Later this month, Bosa Development is having an unprecedented SALE on their remaining Bayside condos. Of the 236 condos in the 36 story Bayside highrise, Bosa only has 12 condos left(possibly less by the time you read this!).
And for being the loyal subscriber of my blog that you are, you get the inside scoop. If you’ve been looking to buy a condo in downtown San Diego, Bayside might be right for you. In my opinion, it’s a great building in an area that will see a tremendous amount of appreciation over the next 7-15 years. Unlike the Marina District, Bayside’s Columbia District has several undeveloped lots that will someday host some of downtown San Diego’s most expensive highrises. Phase 1 of the North Embarcadero Visionary Project will be under way soon and hopefully the rest will follow close behind.
Renaissance Condo Deal – Perfect for Roommates
April 20th, 2011 Categories: San Diego Real Estate Deals
The Renaissance condos in downtown San Diego have a great, incredibly convenient location. It’s across the street from Ralph’s grocery store, kitty-corner to Nordstrom and Horton Plaza, thee blocks to the famous Gaslamp District a few blocks away from the bay and the list goes on and on. The D 1 and 2 floor plans at downtown San Diego’s Renaissance condo towers probably have the best layout for roommates that I’ve seen. This (roughly) 1300 square foot 2br/2.5ba condo has two master bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and a powder room. The bedrooms are on opposite sides of the condo and there’s a large, open living/diving area.
Downtown San Diego Condos – $200-300K
April 4th, 2011 Categories: San Diego Real Estate Deals
If I were looking to buy a condo in downtown San Diego today(or in the near future), there’s a lot I’d need to think about – what part of downtown do I want to live in(which might be different from where I like to spend my time), how much space do I need vs want, how long do I plan on living there, can I rent/sell it if I need to move, etc. There’s a lot you’d want to consider. And if it were an investment…how much are the HOAs, what’s are the rents in that building, how many renters are there in the building, who would I rent to, etc.
The End is Near
March 7th, 2011 Categories: Downtown San Diego Penthouses, San Diego Real Estate Deals
As you know, I’m a fan of Bosa Development’s, The Grande condos. Additionally, one of my all time favorite floor plans is the E plan at the Grande. Right now, there’s a penthouse E plan for sale at The Grande and I think it’s an incredible deal. Originally priced at $2,790,000, this 36th floor penthouse condo was being offered fully furnished. Since then, the owners have lowered the price and excluded the furniture from the sales price.
9th Floor at Harbor Club Condos
March 4th, 2011 Categories: San Diego Real Estate Deals
If you want a bubble unit at a great price, this is your chance. There is a 9th floor bubble unit at the Harbor Club on the market now(not yet on the MLS) that will be priced between $699-739K. I’m not the listing agent, but I can show you the condo and answer any questions you might have. The eighth floor model math sold in July of 2009 for $725K. That was a Trustee Sale and this one is an investor sale.
I don’t know that this 9th floor bubble unit is an incredible deal, but it’s definitely not bad…especially if you want a bubble unit(the next lowest priced one is a 15th floor condo listed at $1,150,000.

San Diego Foreclosure Search
February 21st, 2011 Categories: San Diego Real Estate Deals
As you know, short sales, REOs and auctions are almost impossible to avoid if you’re looking at real estate. Here in San Diego, these types of sales comprise approximately one third of all homes sales. Whether you like them or not, for better or for worse, it’s hard to not be affected by them. With that said, I’ve added a Foreclosure Radar search option on SanDiegOh.com. Unfortunately, I can’t set it up to show you all the info, but I’ll get back to you as soon as I can with the requested info. BUT…rather than send 50 requests, just send me an email, or call me, and let me know what you’re looking for. That way, I’ll be able to filter through the listings and send you a list of properties that fit your needs.
Harbor Club Condo Bubble Unit Deal
February 8th, 2011 Categories: San Diego Real Estate Deals
In the last 12 months, only one “bubble unit” has sold at the downtown San Diego Harbor Club condos. This was a 24th floor foreclosure in the Harbor Club that was listed at $775K, which was way below the market price. It sold in 7 days for $850K…sadly, not to my client. The only other bubble unit that has sold recently, was a combined unit on the 23rd floor, where someone had combined a 1 bedroom with a bubble unit that my clients purchased back in December of 2009.
