It is bounded to the south by Mission Beach , Interstate 5 and Clairemont to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Pacific Beach has miles of shoreline and beaches along the Pacific Ocean to the west and Mission Bay to the South.
In this marvelous coastal community of Pacific Beach,you’ll find that the stereotypical ‘ California Dream ‘ popularized by the California Beach Boys, alive and well. One of the more fascinating aspects about this beach community is its amazing diversity. It draws its citizens from the world over.
Enjoy this the wonderful look back in musical history that helped popularize all of Southern California Beaches and Pacific Beach “PB” was no exception. For many this became more than a dream, it is now their new California Lifestyle.
Yes, Pacific Beach has become one of America’s favorite surfing destinations but it is so much more. It is a beach community that has become a real ‘Mecca’ for it’s night life, known throughout the country and beyond, From it’s many coffee houses, nightclubs, and late-night restaurants that are clustered mainly along Garnet Avenue and Mission Boulevard, PB is practically a phenomenon enjoyed by nearly everyone living in San Diego county.

The huge baby boomer generation seems to prefer new housing in restricted developments for the 55 and older crowds.
According to the National Association of Home Builders, NAHB, these communities are seemingly getting faster approval from local building departments than others as they require less infrastructure for school children and bring in the same or even higher taxes.

Drop In Home Sales of America’s Finest City Lowest of Its 6 Neighboring Counties
August 17th, 2007 categories: Buying San Diego Real Estate, Local San Diego News You Can Use, San Diego Real Estate, San Diego Relocation, Selling San Diego Real Estate
San Diego is doing better than all of its neighboring counties. July Sales figures for San Diego County had only a 13.3 % drop from the same time in 2006. Notably it is the smallest in the 6 neighboring counties.
The best news for San Diego county property owners is that the median price dropped only 2.2% and then numbers show just a small drop of the 2006 median price of $500,000 to $489,000.
Considering all the hysterical news of foreclosures and the ensuing potential for short sales this is some really positive news.
Data Quick analyst John Karevoll, attributes at least part of the market slowdown we are experiencing to the financial markets. Some well known lenders have all but stopped processing loan applications. Hopefully, the market will resolve those issues and the inconvenience to homeowners and home buyers will be short lived.

In-Group Coming Our In Large Numbers…………….
August 11th, 2007 categories: Buying San Diego Real Estate, Local San Diego News You Can Use, San Diego Real Estate, San Diego Real Estate News, San Diego Relocation, Selling San Diego Real Estate
That’s right, the In-Group is pouring out of their other home styles for a new lifestyle home in a Downtown Hi-Rise. They are appearing at extravagant ultra Chic parties sponsored by Hi-Rise Developers to attract the rich and the not necessarily so famous ” life style” oriented Buyers for the Hi-Rise Lifestyle in Downtown San Diego.
Just last month, One Smart developer spend over $500 per guest on a Chic Night time party to lure their best potential buyers.
The developer in an interview recently said ” We are not dealing with the sub-prime borrowers. It allows us to to establish a buzz among the right people”. The ” right people” at this party included 90 buyers who had already closed escrow, scores of potential buyers and assorted VIP’s.
Invitations to this party were engraved on Lucite and when they arrived the guests were also given other tokens of the developers esteem.
From the extravagant food and specialized beverages, band selection and the entertainment, the environment was comparable to Chic Hollywood parties with all the bling and glamour.
How about seeing a few Cirque de Soliel style performers rappelling off the side of the building. Now that’s entertainment Grand style.
One invited guest said this was one of the most fabulous opening parties ever done in San Diego. A comment from a major PR firm representative also invited said that events like also serve to keep buyers from cancelling their sales contracts and convincing on the fence hesitant buyers to buy. It all demonstrates that there are many Buyers seeking the active life styles associated with living the Chic lifestyles. One thing for certain, with lots of competition and so much for Buyers to choose from, the Best Opening Party may be yet to come.
Whatever the reason, Buyers are demonstrating a zeal for the New Life-Style being afforded by the Downtown San Diego Developers. Whats not to like? All the comforts of Urban Styled Home Interiors with so many added benefits. The proximity to the Gaslamp Quarters Night life, Shopping, Convention Center,The Bay, Seaport Village, and the downtown locations, maybe soon to be considered a Destination for the In-Group, just seems to have it all.
The new Stylings are true Urban Chic.

Record Numbers Of Relocation Employees Have Serious Reservations
June 25th, 2007 categories: Buying San Diego Real Estate, San Diego Real Estate, San Diego Relocation, Selling San Diego Real Estate
Employees that are candidates for Relocating to other locations for employment are balking in greater numbers. Why, because the cost of living in the some of the major cities has been sky rocketing over the years, especially housing. Even with the declines in the market of housing prices, they are still out of reach for many of the transferees. Another reason is the hesitation to uproot the family and leave their comfort zone, their families and friends.
