Who would want to live in Ramona? That is the question, especially if you live in Downtown San Diego.  Ramona and Downtown San Diego are 60 minutes apart, but lifestyle opposites.  For the most part, downtown San Diego residents are either younger, second-home owners, or retirees.  There are some families living downtown but it is not the place with a lot of yards and open spaces.  Granted there are parks where children can play, but it's not so much the "family-style" neighborhood many young parents are looking for when their children begin to arrive.

That leads us to Ramona.  Ramona is still somewhat rural with one main road running thru town.  If you want Ramona you probably want open spaces.  One of our current property listings is located in Ramona. 

This is what Ramona is about...open spaces with room to roam.

 This particular home has just had a significant price reduction of $50,000 or more.  The "or more" means we are now priced in a range of pricing, so the opportunity for a bargain is here.

The owners of this particular Ramona house are meticulous. They take care of their home like very few people do and the condition shows this focus on quality care.

These particular sellers are moving north to be with their children and are motivated to sell their home.  The best part about this property is that it is not a foreclosure or resale.  Although buying a distressed property causes people to think they are getting a "deal", sometimes the "deal" is on them.  Short sales and foreclosures have no promise of repairs if anything is needed.  Banks do not have to disclose anything.  Distressed sellers don't have any money to fix anything.  It's like the old saying "Buying a pig in a poke."  You have no clue that you are buying the money pit.

Ramona has some of the most diverse real estate in San Diego County. You can live in an old home or enjoy the most modern of homes.

Purchasing from a seller like our seller is a much better choice because you have owners who are not distressed and know their home.  These sellers are so meticulous that they have lists of anything you might want to know about the house.

We are priced $499,000-$549,000 and the sellers will work with VA or FHA buyers.  In life you always pay the piper, one way or another, or as another saying states, you get what you pay for.  If you want to pay nothing, you get nothing.  If you pay for quality, you get a home like this.

Call us at 619-977-3174 for more details, or take a look at our "Featured Listings" on this website.  Either way we would love to enhance your knowledge about this quality home.
