San Diego Properties For Sale
Home sales in Southern California have slowed down to their lowest levels in five years, according to an AP article posted on NBCSanDiego.com on Feb. 16, 2006. This downward trend is good news for the homebuyer, who now has more bargaining power. However, condominiums have held their value as an investment despite economic downturns and problems with some associations.

Rent To Own Properties San Diego
In a rent-to-own or lease-option agreement, the seller is giving you the right – at some point in the future – to buy a house at a price that is agreed upon today. Usually, a part of your rent over a specific lease period goes toward your eventual down payment.



For example, if a house would typically rent for $1000, you might be asked to pay $1200 per month, a portion of which – say $400, would be credited to your eventual down payment, depending on the contract you work out.

Downtown San Diego Properties
Downtown San Diego offers a variety of activities for all walks of life. With 50 retail stores, over 60 restaurants, 20 nightclubs, a brand new baseball stadium and a host of other adventures, there’s always something to do downtown – the possibilities are endless. Condos for sale range in price from $425,000 to over $5,000,000.

It is wise to be cautious when considering a foreclosure. In fact, many experts warn new buyers to hire an expert to take them through the procedure. It is important to have the house meticulously inspected and to be sure that any liens, undisclosed mortgages and court judgments are cleared or at least disclosed. It’s almost impossible to get financing for such a property. You need to show up with cash, and lots of it, or a line of credit with your bank upon which you can draw cashiers checks.


San Diego Beachfront Properties
You can buy a beachfront vacation home for investment purposes as well as enjoyment. Some people buy a vacation home to use as a retirement home later, which allows them to get ahead on their payments. Some real estate authorities forecast that vacation homes will appreciate in value because of increasing demand from the aging Baby Boom age bracket. You need to think about whether you can afford two mortgages, pay for the additional utilities and maintenance costs, and how this investment fits into your total financial picture.
