Prices were higher than they perhaps should have been for a couple of years and now are dropping significantly. There are the exact same number of houses and condos on the market now as there were 9 months ago (65 in Mar 08 compared to 65 in Dec 08). 14 of these are foreclosures or short sales.
The Central Coast is the last affordable place to buy coastal property in California. So...it's a great investment.
Location Characteristics: This is a "developing" community that is working hard on improving its image and its town. The different areas in the community are very varied--as some are rough (south Grover) around the edges, and others are on the mend (north Grover). Grover has a population of 13,000 people. The weather is temperate with the winters being fairly mild -- rainy in January and February, but warm the rest of the time. The Spring is foggy, but the rest of the year is quite warm -- 70s and 80s. Cal Poly is just 10 minutes away, so there are a lot of youth nearby, but there is also a large retired population. The beaches are sandy and beautiful. It's very close to the Pismo Beach State Dunes, so it's a great place to buy vacation rental property or a second home.
About Kristen Crabtree:
After the tenth time or so of giving my friends a tour of Pismo Beach's real estate -- in particular, the ocean view real estate -- and telling them all of the details of why each property was for sale, how much it was for sale for, and the specifications of the house, they finally convinced me I needed to get into real estate for a living.
I love real estate. It is my passion and always has been. I'm one of those geeks who can't pass an open house without stopping. It annoys others on occasion...
But you get the benefit of this passion. I seek out your real estate for you, saving you a lot of time and energy. If you know what you want and communicate that to me, I love searching to find that perfect property for you and then bringing you to it. A lot of agents sit back and wait for you to tell them what listings you want to see. I find the right listings for you and whenever possible, I see them before you do to rule them out or in, so that you don't waste your precious time.
Give me a call...let's talk about what you want and get me to work on finding you that special property that is just perfect for you!
