You could consider Poway.. older homes with dropped prices.. horse properties.. Rancho Penasquitas has a lot of houses in that price range and great schools. Condos in 4 S Ranch, foreclosures or short sales may be a good opportunity. Rancho Bernardo also has lovely attached homes and condos in that price range without the added Mella Roos taxes that the west side of 15 new construction has attached to them.

Call me if you want more specifics and to set you up with customized MLS notification system.

Hello, Frustrated!! Why weren't the properties "VA approved"? Maybe they have unpermitted add ons, apparent termite damage, etc. VA requires part 1 and 2 of termite repair if it is extensive.. and your seller has to pay some of the closing fees. Call me if you want to talk about this. I help military families find affordable housing in San Diego. Many agents in San Diego are not familiar with VA loans and can't explain them well to the sellers or the buyers.

I would like to know the specifics of what you were seeking.

:) Ready to help,

Dear Toowet, there are thousands of condos in the San Diego area. What kind of view would you like? The area is diverse and it would depend on price, retirement needs such as transportation, facilities, supports, golf :) , beaches, freeway access, neighborhoods/ towers, etc. I show condos all over town. IF SAFETY is a concern, let's consider gated communities. Do you want a turnkey property or a fixer upper? Also, foreclosures and short sales are abundant. Call me and let's talk about your specific needs and timeframe. I HAVE THE TIME to help you find what you want in the best city in the world!

Dear Wendy, I would be glad to help you find what you are looking for in San Diego and the outlying areas. There are a number of places that you could see if you are interested. Some of the 15 or so communities that are condos in gated communities with amenities are in the $300K - 700K range and HOA's in the $190-300 range. If you are looking for something in the $160K-250K range, they will be older, around 20 years but some have been beautifully redone. I recently did a search for a gentleman from Desert Hot Springs, CA so I know the inventory. Please feel free to call me and I can answer your questions about retirement communities in the area. If you want golf, church, transportation, and a great community, Rancho Bernardo is the best. I live near here and have many friends in the retirement areas. Singe family detached are in the 400-600K range and older but lovely area. Would you like me to send you some listings? CAll me with your specific needs and details. I would love to help you find a home.
