Harbor Club #706 - Deal of the Year?
May 15th, 2008 Categories: Deals
Harbor Club. Built in 1992, these twin towers are one(two?) of a kind. In addition to it’s incredible views, Harbor Club has been known for its high prices and high end homes. It’s here that the $7,250,000 condo was sold and it’s also the building that might have the best deal of the year.
Located in the West tower, 100 Harbor Drive #706, is priced at $699,000. That might not sound like a deal, but then again, you probably aren’t familiar with the Harbor Club. Unit 706 is a 1,624 square foot, 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo that overlooks the pool. At $430 per square foot, this is WAY below the building’s $783 average sales price per square foot(1/1/07–5/15/08). No, this doesn’t have a great water view, but so what?!
No Slowing Down for Nat Bosa
May 7th, 2008 Categories: BOSA Development
Nat Bosa, of Bosa Development, is highly responsible for much of Downtown San Diego’s residential growth. Based out of Vancouver Canada, Bosa first came to San Diego in 1998 and has been setting the standard ever since. Bosa was recently interviewed by Neal Matthews in the May edition of the San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles magazine.
To date, Bosa has built 8 residential towers in Downtown San Diego and has another one, just a year away from being completed. This makes Bosa the biggest residential developer in Downtown San Diego. Bosa has built Horizons, Park Place, Discovery, The Grande, The Legend and Electra. Most other developers here have only built one, or two other buildings.
Pinnacle San Diego - Location, Location, Location
May 7th, 2008 Categories: Buying, Marina District
Pinnacle is one of Downtown San Diego’s most popular buildings. It’s central location and incredible views are what makes the Pinnacle a great place to live. Developed by Michael de Cotiis of Pinnacle International in 2005, this 450 foot tall, 36 story tower was the last best investment, before the market turned.
The Pinnacle Museum Tower is located at 550 Front Street, on the south side of Market Street. At the base of the building is the always popular Richard Walker’s pancake house, along with Union Bank of California. On the other side of the building is the new Children’s Museum.
Ceiling heights are typically higher here, ranging between 9–12 feet and the standard finishes include marble floors, granite
Great Condo Deal at Electra
April 30th, 2008 Categories: Deals
Are you waiting for that smoking deal at Electra? With 53 listings in the building, sellers have two options: 1) Cut your prices and take a loss. Just get out as quickly as possible, rather than slowly, but repeatedly reduce your asking price, or 2) Wait the market out and put your home back on when there’s less competition.

Who Sells the Most Condos at The Grande?
April 24th, 2008 Categories: Sales Statistics, Selling
Since 2004, when the first Grande tower was completed, Scott-Finn and Associates has been responsible for 40 condo sales at The Grande. Currently, between the north and south towers, we have 8 listings, one of which is in escrow (currently there are 31 actives and 6 pendings). The 40 sales Scott–Finn and Associates has been involved in represents over 20% of all the sales in the two towers combined (197 sales, not including sales from Bosa). Those sales also include 4 penthouse units (we currently have 3 penthouses listed).
Park Place 2007 vs Q1 2008 Sales Statistics
April 22nd, 2008 Categories: Sales Statistics
In 2007,Park Place only had a total of 8 sales, out of it’s 178 units. This 4.5% of sales at Park Place was way below The Grande’s 24.4% of sales in 2007. This goes back to my statement that Park Place is one of the most desirable buildings in Downtown San Diego and that people don’t want to leave it.

Healthy Living Tips
April 17th, 2008 Categories: Nutrition
I’m the first to understand how difficult it is to manage your time and eat right. It’s so easy to stop for some fast food, or push back breakfast until 1pm…I know how busy you can get. As a former personal trainer, I was the perfect example of “do as I say, not as a I do.” But I do try and be healthy, or at least think about trying to be healthy…
