EastLake Gates Real Estate and Homes

EastLake Gates Real Estate and Homes

The Gates at The Woods by EastLake is the multi million dollar home area of EastLake.

It is possibly the most precious real estate in the South Bay San Diego. There are 64 lots ranging from about .5 acres to over 1 acre. The Gates is one of the few areas in EastLake you can build a custom home. The 2003 Tour d’Elegance put on by the BIA of San Diego and sponsored by Sycuan Casino and Resort was held here. And yes yours truly “The Dawn Lewis Team at Prudential” was a proud sponsor of the Kid’s Village at the tour and the “Featured Realtor of the Tour d’Elegance”.

The Dawn Lewis Team also hosted the Johnson Beucler Communities tour home which won the prestigious best of show and best floor plan as voted by the visitors to the tour. The Dawn Lewis Team also marketed and sold this beautiful home when the Tour d’Elegance was over. The Gates at The Woods by EastLake is starting to get the reputation of the Rancho Santa Fe of South Bay San Diego. I happen to think it’s even a little more exclusive. The Woods is lined by Eucalyptus trees planted in 1928 and has a woodsy feel.

The Chula Vista Nature Center is one of Chula Vista’s finest examples of nature conservancy. The David A. Wergeland Shark & Ray Experience is the Center’s newest exhibit. Replacing the ever-popular shark and ray petting pool, this state-of-the-art super aquarium includes a shallow-water “touch tank” where visitors can get “up close and personal” with sharks and rays, and a deep water free-swimming area for larger sharks and rays. The exhibit interprets the importance of coastal wetlands and the need for all of us to be custodians of our natural environment. In 1997, funding from the San Diego County Fish and Wildlife Advisory Commission and the San Diego Fly Fishers allowed the Nature Center to construct its only freshwater aquarium exhibit. This exhibit describes the descent of Rainbow Trout from the headwaters of the Sweetwater River at Green Valley Falls, through San Diego Bay to the ocean where they once physiologically changed to Steelhead. Until 1888, when the Sweetwater Dam was built, the Steelhead were able to return to their traditional spawning grounds. Now, the local native Rainbow Trout are unable to make their migration. As you approach the glowing blue cylindrical aquarium, you will stop, entranced by gracefully undulating moon jellies. This jellyfish lives in quiet bays and estuaries and poses little danger to man.

San Diego on Target for Low Prices and High Volume Sales in 2009

San Diego on Target for Low Prices and High Volume Sales in 2009

San Diego is ripe for a great 2009 in the Real Estate Market.

Prices are low and falling in the upper end price ranges and coastal communities. Interest rates are falling and should stay low through most of 2009. With the continuing foreclosures and the government helping homeowners and the economy out – here and there – the real estate in San Diego for 2009 should start the stabilization in the lower price ranges of single family detached homes. I’m starting to see it already and the entry level homes should continue to level off in many areas of San Diego through the 2009 real estate year.

It doesn’t mean that all the news is great and everything in real estate and the economy is just fine but it is the start of the next market. Once the entry level home prices stabilize it will have an effect on the entire market. Many “on the fence buyers” should jump into the market in 2009. With a new president in the White House this should calm the uncertainty of the whole election issues we’ve been focused on for the last 2 years. Many buyers who short sold their homes in 2006 and 2007 will be able to buy again. The investors have been pulling money out of their roller coaster ride on Wall Street and are deciding that real estate is a better more tangible item to own, especially real estate in Southern California.

Are you considering the purchase of a home or condo in San Diego in 2009? If so contact us for a one on one Q & A.
