Meltdown in San Ysidro: 47-68% price drops from ‘04-’06 prices

April 28, 2008 · 3 Comments

.

San Ysidro is located about 15 minutes south of Downtown San Diego and the last neighborhood before the US/Mexico border station. Washington Mutual (WaMu) seems to be the major mortgage bank serving this region.

 

As ugly as the market looks from these big losses, a lot of these are closed sales that were priced in 2007 or REOs where the borrower fell behind 4-10 months ago. In other words, they reflect 2007’s economic problems, before the economy was in a recession. As 2008 wears on, these numbers will get much worse.

 

Don’t miss the sneak preview at the end of this post of my forthcoming look at the market in San Marcos, a middle-class suburb and college town in northern San Diego county.

    Very true….prices are dropping on foreclosed properties all over California.

    somewhat OT. My wife loves San Diego and eventually wants to relocate to that area. We now live in PA well outside of filthy Philly. I am not sold on SD or California for that matter, but due to her health problems I may have to just bite the bullet. It looks to me as if prices might become realistic by 2009. If anyone would be so kind as to let me know what and where the nicer areas of SD are I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

    David,

    There are no good areas in SD. The whole area is trash. We have riots every other day, drive-by shootings in-between, and tweakers on every corner.

    Please, stay in Philly.
