Central San Diego Real Estate Market – Mid Year Snapshot of Median Prices (2006) – Single Family Homes

As of this writing, the San Diego real estate markets appears to have shifted from one that favors sellers to one that favors buyers. However, this premise may not hold true for all communities within San Diego, as median prices for some communities continue to rise while others fall.

While there are many metrics to evaluate the real estate pricing trends of a community, one commonly used parameter is to evaluate the median price of homes from one point in time against a prior point of time. The median price reflects the point at which half the homes are above a particular price point, and half the homes are below a particular price point. The median price metric provides one method to analyze the direction of home prices, but should not be used as the sole source of data from which to form conclusions.

The data below is a comparison of median prices for various communities in central San Diego County, comparing data from June 2005 against data for June 2006. This information is only one metric at a particular point in time, and other metrics or data from future months may support or dispute the pricing trends noted below. For some of the San Diego communities presented below, very few homes sold during June 2006, which diminishes the usefulness of the median price metric.

ADVISORY

Homebuyers and home sellers should keep in mind that the data above is simply a snapshot in time, and is not conclusive of the pricing trends for any community. For some communities presented above, very few homes were sold during June 2006, which makes the use of the median price metric of limited value. The data must be evaluated over a longer duration, and involve multiple metrics to fully understand enduring market trends. Contact your Realtor to obtain information about enduring market trends for any given community.

Seems hardly a day goes by that I am not asked for my two cents in the general arena that is Center City Condos. As a professed uni-blab, big-brained know-it-all in this field, I have to confess that I eat, live, breathe, think, and dream downtown Philly condos for a good portion of each day. I was once asked what I believed would be the best long-term “hold” in terms of condominiums, and have come to the conclusion that the answer lies on the northwest corner of 13th and Spruce Streets.

The Lenox was converted from apartments to condominiums in 2005-2006 and exemplifies the pre-war midrise condominium building here in Center City Philadelphia. Thirteen stories tall, clad in a dark red brick with bay windows on every side, the building does have a fair dose of curb appeal.  At 250 S. 13th St. is indeed Center City’s diamond in the rough. Grossly undervalued for what the building could be, and is becoming, the Lenox hold some truly unique floor plans, a central location, and topped off with a few TRUE penthouse units. Add in the fact that it is a doorman building with a generous loading zone out front, and the pieces of the puzzle (that being Value) begin to fall into place.

I believe the building is an excellent value based on the current resale dollar per square foot. A nicely finished two bedroom, one bath, complete with newer kitchen and bath, original architectural details, and two to three walk-in closets can be purchased around the $340,000 mark. Close to Jefferson Hospital is a real plus, as are the oak herringbone floors, plaster walls, and detailed, yet nonworking fireplaces. The owners association is currently undergoing a host of capital improvements (see the scaffolding encircling the building), and looking into a few rule changes or upgrades that one day may permit washer/dryers in each unit, as well as central air. Those are currently two factors that are greatly (and I mean GREATLY suppressing resale value). Word on the street is that the Parker Hotel across the street is possibly being eyed by the University of the Arts. Such a move would be a boon for the owner of 250 S. 13th St. as well.

If long term value is what you are seeking in a  Condominium, then you might want to consider a look at The Lenox at 250 S. 13th St. in Center City Philadelphia, as it is my guess that if the building can improve, or have improved unto it, a few details, that the units within the building will shoot up in value more than most Center City condominiums will over the next ten to twenty years.
