Tim – That is the nature of our market at the lower price points. We are feeling the same frustrations as we show condos first day on the market to find that they have eight offers. Hang in there.

I’ve been looking for a condo to buy for about three months now and never have I been so discouraged in trying to find anything. Perhaps even more frustrating than it was several years ago when people were throwing good money after bad.

It doesn’t seem to be that much different now due to the lack of inventory (as you pointed out) and the skewed pricing you see in short sales and bank-owned properties. Anything that is remotely close to being a “normal” (i.e. non-short sale) offering is quickly snapped up – thus, leaving buyers in my price range (low-200’s) in having to make snap decisions on a very big purchase. I haven’t found it, so far, to be a good time buy!

Kris, I wrote a post today regarding opportunity knocking for first time buyers in San Diego – while I don’t have my party hat on yet, there is opportunity for segments of the San Diego market. Maybe the train is coming out of the tunnel…
