Things are changing in all of the communities in San Luis Obispo county. We are seeing multiple offers on the homes that are well-priced, or in some cases, underpriced. And this isn't just for homes under $400K like in some communities...we are even seeing multiple offers on well-priced homes about $700K. PB didn't have as many foreclosures as some communities. Prices are stabilizing and we definitely aren't seeing the price drops that we did a year ago (or even 6 mos ago).
Location Characteristics: This is a cute coastal community with a population of about 8,000 during most of the year, with it increasing by about 4 times during the tourist season. There are a few different communities that make up PB. The Heights is a neighborhood on a steep hill with older houses at the bottom, and newer houses at the top. Of course, as some of the older homes get torn down and replaced, we are seeing new homes towards the bottom of the hill as well. Then there is Shell Beach, an annexed community in PB. Old Shell Beach mostly has smaller beach cottages on small lots. There are some larger, multi-story homes that have replaced the older beach bungalows, but these are still on small lots. New Shell Beach is on the east side of the freeway and consists of several neighborhoods with newer homes. South of the Heights are planned communities, some with newer homes and some with oldish homes.
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!
