He did it! Joe Musgrove has thrown the first-ever @Padres no hitter!! Padres win in Texas!
Agree - and if buyers back off, the worst thing that will happen is a prolonged stagnation. Because future sellers are going to want these prices or more, and they will be willing to wait until they get them.
@Bubbleinfo I'd call it "price risk", not "bubble risk". Price declines are possible (maybe even likely in some areas), but cascading price declines require loose lending (forced sales), and we aren't seeing that.

"Jim the Realtor is legit - I interviewed three brokers; he said list price should be $100,000 higher than the other two brokers; listed it with him and had all cash (no financing) offer in two days, five day contingency period, closing in two weeks - and it closed at his recommended list price. I could not recommend anyone more than I recommend Jim the Realtor. more "

"When we moved to San Diego in 2005 we rented a big house on Mt. Soledad (La Jolla) with 180 degree ocean views for the same payment as a mortgage on a dump in Chula Vista. Clearly something was wrong. Yet, the media was full of the usual happy-talk nonsense, so I was glad to find Jim's blog. I've followed his honest assessments and data since. more "

"Where do we begin..2020 has been a year for everyone. When COVID hit and shut down both my husband and my businesses, we were left with a mortgage and very little income coming in. We were stressed, scared and felt stuck. We made the hard decision to sell our home and move out of state. We contacted the Klinges' and spent a good hour going over what we hoped we could accomplish. Jim and Donna came over with comps in hand and suggestions on improvements to get our house ready for the market. It was overwhelming to think about, but Donna was there and one step ahead in every scenario. more "

"Jim and Donna Klinge made the sale of our condo extraordinarily easy. They know the market and gave us sound advice backed by details and very considerable experience, reflected both in the initial pricing and subsequent negotiations. They work together as a team and are always available to talk. more "

"I cannot believe there are no reviews of Donna yet, ugh!! She is the secret sauce of the Jim Klinge/Donna Klinge combo! I will touch on Jim here, but Donna is why I'm so totally loyal to these two (no offense to Jim :)).

"Jim and Donna Klinge are by far the most professional, personable and responsive realtors I have ever worked with. They provide VIP concierge level service in every area of the process of selling your home. My home was marketed so successfully that we received an offer the day after our first and only open house. Thanks to Jim's pricing and negotiating, our house is now the highest sold in our community... more "

Aside from the view, that is an extraordinarily boring apartment (although the bathroom’s not bad). The other Aussie ad was for a much more interesting house.
For some reason I feel the need to buy a used car.
I agre with Amy’s comment – if you check the other videos linked to this one that show the same or similar units in the building, they are as plain-jane as they get.
It makes me think that this type of marketing may be in its infancy?
I didn’t even notice the flat!
If only they’d been able to work an ice-cream truck into the mix, it would have been perfect.
Sure beats the drug commercials I see on the news
Apartment!…What apartment????
I thought they were selling Mini’s!
If I was a Mini sales guy, I’d be using this video too!
Good to hear from you dd!
JTR:
Thanks…closely follow your progress to bring sanity into an insane world of RE.
Keep up the great work re your balanced/honest approach to the RE market in SD and the area!
Your voice needs to be heard by some (not all the nuts) in Congress — as a dose of reality that I believe they never hear and/or never care to entertain.
I guess this is what you have to resort to when the market is in such a tailspin that 85 Aussie builders went bust in a single month and “Buying at the current prices, you would have to have real capital gains of $800-1000 per week (or around 5% of the purchase price per year) just to not lose money”
