I've been looking for condos in downtown SD for awhile now. Everything is down at least 50k, and some are starting to drop 100k, but I don't think it's done falling yet.

The rent to mortgage ratio is so screwed up right now that without the crazy growth it doesn't make sense for a lot of people to buy in. My rent is $1200/month down town... a condo next door would have me paying 3500/month. Even with the tax breaks, that blows in a decline, or even flat growth scenerio.

That being said, I'll probably buy around the end of the year if I can find something I like in Little Italy or East Villiage. I think it's a good time to buy in the place you really want to be.
