Jeff - Interesting that you're seeing some of the same activity we're seeing here on the East Coast. While year to year sales numbers are down, the months supply of inventory has been decreasing steadily which is a great sign that the market is moving in the right direction again.
Jeff - I have always wondered how an Ocean community like Oceanside could remain so affordable and carry a stigma of a less than desirable area. With ocean front real estate pretty much all gobbled up I have to think it is only a matter of time before Oceanside undergoes a transformation like Carlsbad did and become much more expensive. I remember Carlsbad in the 80's as being a low key community until one day some investors decided to spruce it up. Now as we both know it is an affluent town. i think for those buying in Oceanside and holding their investments will reap huge rewards in the near future. oceanside in my opinion is a diamond in the rough and is up and coming. Thanks for the great report!
