    Downtown San Diego Condos: San Diego Crowns

    We have exciting news with the launch of our new website San Diego Crowns.  Our Downtown San Diego website is so specific we think it narrows the market too much for those who don't want to purchase a Downtown San Diego condo.  San Diego Crowns is a search site that allows you to not only search San Diego, but also other counties in California.  This MLS feed (Multiple Listing Service) is updated constantly and should be user friendly.

    Our new San Diego Crowns website

    We would love some feedback and suggestions for this new site, so when you have time, visit San Diego Crowns , navigate around and see how you feel about this search site.  We are still working on San Diego Crowns, but any and all comments are welcomed.

    Downtown San Diego Condos: The MTS

    San Diego MTS Downtown San Diego condo owners have the best of all worlds.  They can use the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System and travel anywhere they want.  The trolley coordinates with the bus schedules and the MTS offers the ideal mode of travel for urban dwellers.  You can park your car in your Downtown San Diego condo complex's parking structure and just hit the road via the bus, trolley, or train.

    If you visit the MTS website you can price your journey, view schedules, and generally plan your trip.  Since Downtown San Diego is so walkable, many people will only use the MTS for longer and unwalkable distances.

    Downtown San Diego Condos: Park Terrace Condo Sales

    Park Terrace is one of the most interesting Downtown San Diego condo buildings located in East Village.  Surrounded by Petco Ballpark and open land to the south and East, the developers of Park Terrace are in the final stages of closeout.  We helped one of our buyers purchase a unit at Park Terrace and we are thrilled that he loves the unit he purchased.

     

    Park Terrace consists of a midrise plus a high rise building and basically takes up the block.  If you are interested in the midrise located at 206 Park Ave. or the high rise portion located at 253 10th Ave., we will be glad to help you in your search.   Downtown San Diego condos are the place to visit in the current market.

     These sales are obtained from the Sandicor MLS system and reflect sales by a variety of sales agents.  Timeframe is April 1, 2010 - June 30, 2010.  Purchasing at Park Terrace in today's market is a really good investment for the right person.

    San Diego Condos: Gaslamp Adventures

    Last night downtown San Diego Gaslamp  hosted a gigantic private party.  The one fantastic thing about being in the Downtown San Diego Willis Allen office is that we are usually in the thick of things.

    Yesterday was not an exception.  We had people running to and fro bringing in materials and setting up tables and stages and seating, etc.  The musical group Train, practiced and rehearsed during the afternoon, and it was like having your own private concert.  Dancing girls practiced on stages right out our front window,and when the event kicked off early evening, things got even more fun and enticing.

    My favorite table was just across the street from us and you can see why it was my favorite.  Dick's Last Resort, next door to us, generously gave us cold water as we watched all the other fantastic food being set out on party tables.

    Stilt girl was fun to see.  Usually you see men on stilts and I was trying to remember the last time I had seen a girl on stilts, and could not remember.  She ambled up and down the street, weaving in and out of the crowds.

    Since we were not actually part of the event, we couldn't eat or drink so we went over to Buca di Beppo's for dinner.  They were packed, and as always our food was great.  When we returned to the office area, Train was rocking full force and all the attendees were having a wonderful time.

    This is one of the many reasons we love downtown San Diego and Willis Allen.  We continue to be in the heart of things.  Downtown San Diego is the perfect place to own a condo and if you want to know the inventory, give Victoria a call.  You can also look at the companion blog with this that shows how much condo prices have started to creep upward.  I know the economy is hard on everyone, but Downtown San Diego condos continue to be great buys.

    Downtown San Diego Condos: May 2010 Sales Statistics

    May statistics are in and we are showing a creeping upward of pricing, especially at the lower end.

    As you can see, prices have increased between 16% - 18.1%.  Those statistics are actually surprising considering the bad news we continually hear about the real estate market.  However, these increases are really at the lower end and vary from area to area.  We have the full report for San Diego County Sales Statistics and if you would like a copy just click Market Update for San Diego County May 2010 .  This information is the most current information and June 2010 statistics will be provided as soon as we receive them.

    Downtown San Diego condos show an increase of 3.1% which may not seem like much, but in today's marketplace, an increase is significantly better than a decrease.  Amazing how our mindset has been readjusted from the days of 10%-20% increases.  Downtown San Diego continues to be a wonderful place to live and to purchase a condo.
