New Condos In Down-town San Diego Selling Out Soon!

Everyone wants an item of San Diego real estate, including getting a condo in downtown with a great walk able lifestyle and near perfect weather. If you’ll live the dream, why not buy a brand new condo in San Diego. Opportunities to buy completely new condo are shrinking as of spring 2010.

The buildings you could still buy completely new luxury condo in are: Aria, Bayside, Breeza, The Legend, The Mark, Mi Arbolito, Sapphire Tower and Se Luxe Residences. Currently there aren’t any condominiums under construction and I don’t expect any new condos to begin construction until 2012 at the earliest. Several reasons factor into that prediction, one is the difficulty in obtaining construction financing and the second reason is the issue of faith that developers can sell their condos once finished.

Sure the marketplace has picked up some momentum as seen in the high volume of sale at about 80 units per month in downtown so far in 2010. In general, Bayside, Breeza, The Mark and Sapphire Tower are about 70% sold, inventory at The Legend and Mi Arbolito is down to about a dozen units each.

At the Legend all the better view units have been sold and on all the remaining two bedrooms they have for sale only have one parking space. Mi Arbolito is very much on hold again for whatever reason. I know all the units are finished except for maybe flooring or finished they left for the buyer to select.

At Aria, they are down to about six high floor penthouse style units. The Bayside condos have a great selection of units across all price points. Breeza also have an array of their inventory to pick from. The Mark, has mostly one bedroom left with some larger more expensive two and three bedroom condos still available on the higher floors. Sapphire Tower has a good selection of one bedrooms from the $400’s to at least 5 of the almost 3,000 SF units for approx $2.5M. The Se Luxe Residences is such a unique property that sales there look like we are slow, its also for the very discriminating condo shopper looking for the lifestyle of a full service five star hotel.

One thing to notice about all the newer condos is that none of them are located in the Gaslamp District or the Marina District as there is are only two lots left to build on between them, one will be a Marriott hotel the other a condo by Bosa in the distant future.

When we get to the upswing within the next real estate cycle new projects will be built mostly in East Village, a very limited number in Little Italy and Columbia neighborhoods. I would say all but three for the future condos will be built on less than optimal locations. The best micro locations have already been built and it will be interesting to see over time the balance of values between say an older condo in a prime location vs a new high tech condo in a second rate location. And this makes shopping for a condo in downtown San Diego such a fun and challenging process.

Selling Your Condo

Many owners of condo units who want to make some money choose to either sell or rent out their unit. If you are in this kind of position, here are some tricks you can use to get the word out there (and get a good price), especially if you plan to do a lot of the work yourself, instead of letting an agent do all the work.

This may seem obvious, but the first thing you should do is tidy up. Particularly when your real estate agent is taking pictures of your condo but also whenever you have a viewing. You would be amazed at how many potential buyers are turned off by an untidy home. Clear away your dishes, get rid of magazines or newspapers lying around, pack away excessive knick knacks and put away your family pictures. You want your unit to apart spacious, airy and uncluttered.

Next, realize that most people seeking a condo are really looking for some great selling points. Chances are, you do not have a lot of green space, so you will have to play up other aspects of your home. For example, if you happen to be located next to a subway, you will want to mention how easy it is to commute from your current location. In fact, selling a condo is often all about the way in which you word your advertisement from the start.

Beware however of removing too much. Your unit should remain cozy and inviting. The last thing you want to do is make it seem as though no one is living there. There is a delicate balance between clutter and coziness and you should try to find it. Make the beds and fluff the pillows on the couch. Add candles and fresh flowers for a warm inviting feeling.

Does the window offer a spectacular view? The building or complex in which your apartment is located might offer some excellent services that make life easier for those living there. These are all great attractions to potential buyers.

In addition, when scouting for customers, do not write off useful demographic groups without good reason. For instance, people tend to associate condo units with relatively young residents. We tend to think of older people as living in houses, or even rest homes. This is most definitely an over-generalization. Many senior citizens would not mind living in an apartment, which may be easier to maintain than a house.

Smell can be a powerful turn-on but also an incredible turn-off. Consider how your house smells. You may have to enlist the help of a trusted friend who will be brutally honest. You do not want your unit to smell like cats or old dirty shoes. Aerate the place. If you can, light some mildly scented incense or bake something just before an open house or a full day of showings. This will give potential buyers a homey feeling.

Remember that a condominium is not the same as a large home, so you will have to enhance your condos positive selling qualities before placing it on the market. If you happen to have a pool and a workout room included in your condo fees (make sure to mention those fees too!), do not forget to add those extra things to your advertisement. Condos generally sell more often than larger homes do, but selling a condo may require a bit of extra work.

With twenty (20) years experience selling condos in Center City Philadelphia, I can attest to the fact that I have yet to meet a buyer who will favor any given condo building over their pet. Said again, I have never met a buyer who will give up their pet to live in one specific building. Every time, they will omit the building- not the pet. Moreover,

It is also important to check the condo itself. Make sure that you pick the one that will give you the comfort and convenience. Check the numbers of bedroom, the kitchen, and bathroom and of course the living room. See to it that you have enough space so that you can move freely.

Once you have identified the condo you wish to purchase, prepare an offer to buy the property. Your real estate agent can help you with this step.
