Downtown San Diego Highrise Analysis


What is the best condo building in downtown San Diego?  Where can you get the best deal?  Which building holds its value the most?  Well this post might not answer these questions, but it will shed some light on what’s going on downtown.  I’ve collected data on what I consider to be the major(higher end) highrises downtown and outlined my findings below.  I did not look at Bayside or Sapphire Tower, only because most of the sales are not listed on the MLS and they’re typically not listed in the tax records.  Also, The Metropolitan is not listed, but only because there have been no sales there in the last two years.

Q2 2010 Grande Condo Sales


Is the downtown San Diego real estate market doing better?  Who knows…this questions depends on who you ask, which variables you consider and a lot of other stuff that really doesn’t provide a simple, or even an accurate answer.  But…lets look at some statistics…

Q1 2010 Grande Condo Sales


In the first quarter at The Grande condos here in downtown San Diego, there have been eight sales.  The sales ranged from a unique 1,055 sqft one bedroom on the third floor, to a 1,944 sqft E plan on the 10th floor.  The prices ranged from $390K to $940K…with an average sales price of $686,875. The three REOs and one short sale definitely had a lot to do with this(and I’m sure some owners just wanted out so they could take advantage and buy in a down market), but there just weren’t very many “high end” sales.

2009 San Diego Home Prices


2009 was an interesting year, especially in real estate.  In San Diego, like most places, home prices were down typically 20–50% lower than they were a few years before.  In the downtown San Diego real estate market, we  more or less, saw what we expected it to do…condo prices continued to fall as more short sales and REOs hit the market and the market continued to be a hot topic of conversation.

Downtown San Diego Condo Statistics


The San Diego real estate market has been pretty crazy these last several years.  We saw home prices skyrocket and crash.  We saw people buy with no money down and now we’re seeing people with LOTS of money who are unable to get loans.  In a market where approximately one third of all transactions are either a short sale, or a foreclosure, I can help but think that this is a great time to buy real estate.  I do think the higher end prices will drop some more and interest rates will rise in the next few years(which will result in fewer homes being purchased), but I’m confident that the “bottom” for entry level homes has been hit.  You’re seeing lots of multiple offers and even with the anticipated REOs being released by the banks, I think the demand is there.

Downtown San Diego Penthouses


So we all know that the low end of the San Diego condo market is moving, but what’s going on with the penthouses and higher end condos?  Is anything selling?  Well the short answer is…not really.  The multiple offers and 100% list-price-to-sales-price action that we’re seeing in the lower end of the condo market is completely different from the high end condo market.

Park Place is not a busy building.  In the second half of 2008, Park Place only saw 5 sales.  This number was doubled in the first half of 2008, but 2008 still did better than 2007.

July-December 2008 – The Grande Condo Sales


The Grande at Santa Fe Place.  One of Bosa’s biggest hits, the North and South Grande towers had a total of 19 sales in the second half of 2008.  With a total of 442 condos between the two towers(including the ground floor townhouses), we’re only talking about a 4.3% turnover rate.  I don’t know who came up with the idea that there’s a ton of inventory out there, but clearly with so few sales, this can’t be the case.

2008 Second Quarter Sales – Park Place


Compared to the first quarter of 2008, Q2 at Park Place has been incredible.  The second quarter sales consisted of five sales and a median sales price of $1,100,000.  That’s a 42% increase over the first quarter, which also sold 5 condos.  In addition to this, the second quarter was 35% higher in price, versus all of 2007 sales at Park Place.

2008 Second Quarter Sales Statistics – The Grande San Diego


So what’s sold? Well at The Grande, apparently not much. Q2 of 2008 only produced 4 sales between the two Grande towers. With only 33 active listings, the inventory is down, but it seems like people are still waiting to see what’s going to be built around the buildings.
