2023 Santee Project

2023 Santee Project

We finally finished the Santee project that has been center of our universe this year. Words cant describe how proud we are of the results of all this hard work. Big thanks to my talented team of workers who all made it possible. We went with a clean white pallette, light wood accents and flat panel upper kitchen cabinets this time. The Terrazzo fireplace and wood veneer slatwall detail under the bar are my favorite features for sure. Outside I went with all white and the trim is a soothing blue/grey color. We did new roof and central air conditioning as well. My crew even blew in all new attic insulation to combat the tough Santee summers! This property is now listed in the MLS for sale at $849,000. MLS# 20002963

New Santee Project 2023

New Santee Project 2023

Santee, CA has really changed over the years. I am excited to be back over here starting our second remodel for 2023. If you have not been to Santee in a while, you might not recognize it. There is a whole new shopping center called Trolley Square with a trolley stop and all the best stores, shops and eateries.

We bought this home from a tired landlord with the tenant in it who has lived in the home for 30 years! Very nice people to deal with, we made them a very fair offer and beat out another investors price to get the deal. I worked with the tenants to relocate after we closed the sale. This is a really awesome pocket of Santee, I have some really cool ideas to try out on this remodel and plan to take it up a notch on the material choices. Stay tuned for a great project!

 

Back in Clairemont!

Back in Clairemont!

We are back in Clairemont to kick off 2023. We bought this property direct from the out-of-state owner saving them all the expense and hassle of using an agent. Fun fact is that in 2004 we flipped an exact model-match home on this very same street. That is over 18 years ago! Green Button Homes, the original San Diego Cash Homebuyer. They hired a local attorney to look over our paperwork, here is his Green Button Homes testimonial:

“Recently I had the pleasure of working with Tom Tarrant of Green Button Homes LLC in San Diego. Tom was an efficient and detail oriented businessperson who treated those he worked with fairly and with respect.  I would be happy to work with him again in the future.”

Just wrapped up another great project down in South Bay near the Eastlake/Otay neighborhoods. This is really a great family home located on a pride of ownership culdesac in a newer track home development originally built by McMillian in the 1990’s. The floorplan is really familiar and reflective of a lot of homes built in the 90’s in San Diego.

The San Diego real estate market is in the beginning stages of a what we think is a huge correction. We are now seeing median home prices drop for the first time in 13 years. Needless to say, all this was fueled by QE and low mortgage rates. The market seemed to peak around May 2022, since then we have lost 10% on median home prices. Nobody thought prices would drop with less than 2 months of inventory, but I predicted this would happen and we adjusted our buying criteria to be safe. As of August 12, 2022 the San Diego median home price is $805,000, down from $865,000 on June 3rd. 

With inflation and higher interest rates, the squeeze is on. Affordability is at a 40-year low so combined with plummeting consumer confidence from the recession, buyers are feeling cause for concern. Almost 30% of homes in San Diego listed for sale have reduced asking prices at this time. The days of 20 offers on the first weekend and $100k overbidding are long gone but this is a healthy situation needed to move into a more normal market.

The home is 5 bedroom, 3 bath with 2400 s.f. We did a complete remodel with all new surfaces. Newer homes like this are usually a breeze because the electrical and plumbing are in good shape and there is no need to make floor plan improvements. There was an April identical floorplan home that sold before the decline for over $200,000 more than we are asking! This is a great deal and reflective of the new normal.
