What Your Agent Didn’t Tell You About Buying A Home in San Diego

My Grandfather recently passed away after a long and amazing life. He and my grandmother were married 68 years and they lived in the same home for over 50 years. Their home was a modest bungalow style with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, built in Oakland, CA in the 1920’s. This home saw plenty of housing market corrections throughout the years just like San Diego and other parts of the country.

What made this house special was their home was the center and the heart of the family. Every Christmas Eve, Birthday, Thanksgiving was spent there. As young children we were in awe of the generations of wonderful women who gathered in the tiny kitchen cooking their favorite recipes.  During the summer my Grandfather would barbeque, we would listen for hours to his stories of his youth and how he met my grandmother.

After his funeral the family gathered at the house one last time. We talked about the Grandparents and the decades of wonderful times spent in their home. I will be forever grateful for the love and memories we all shared in this tiny home throughout the years. It was here we all learned what family was about.

On October 1 the home was sold, it was time to let a new family create their traditions and memories, in this house. It is my hope they find the love and comfort that this home provided for so many generations.

What your agent didn’t tell you was buying a home is not about; home prices going lower, getting a great deal, the economy, interest rates, or foreclosures. Buying and owning a home is about providing a place of love, laughter and creating memories that will last a life time.

Remember this when you are considering buying a home. Is it time for you to get off the fence?
