If it is any comfort to you, San Diego is bracing for a big winter storm this weekend. Waves are cresting at 18 to 20 feet and big rains are anticipated–along with heavy snowfall in local mountains.

It will be the best of both worlds for surfers and skiers:-)

We lived downtown and our apartment overlooked the bay, downtown, and we had a great view of Coronado. If we had stuck around, the ballpark would also have been part of the view. Sigh…and I could use the winter weather there just about now.

The San Diego real estate market has never been more favorable for buyers–at least in mid-term memory. Prices for San Diego real estate are soft, and we are starting to see multiple offers on well-priced San Diego County homes.

If you would like to search a local San Diego MLS site, just go to: http://www.SanDiegoPreviews.com

Best wishes,

Roberta

San Diego does not tax for view or location of a home; only for the price of a home. Thankfully, for new San Diego taxpayers, those prices have been dropping.

Perhaps you should consider a move back to the San Diego Paradise?

I have been following all market news on San Diego for sometime. In fact, I have already started my search online. As I believe that before going for any deal, one should look for all available options present in the market. I have used the resortscape.com ( http://www.resortscape.com/default.aspx?ct=r&q=&utm_medium=linktous&utm_source=PT ) to do my search and it was really good using the search portal.

Is the comparison you mention just a percentage of affordability or are they using actually dollars amounts to compare the different cities?

You know Wisconsin is taxing properties additional if they have any kind of view, which I believe is ridiculous. Does San Diego tax for climate? 🙂
