Bang for your Buck- San Diego East County
Get More for Less!
When you see a 16 oz loaf and a 24 oz loaf of bread both selling for the same price, which is the better deal? If that’s all the information you have, you must choose the larger loaf. But what about the quality of the bread, the ingredients, the brand name? These are harder to evaluate, but of course you begin with the price and then consider the details, right?
15935 OAKS SPG #39 (or is it Spring Oaks as in picture?)
Yes of course it is a manufactured home. These are usually less expensive because you only pay for the box on someone else’s property. If you factor in the current rent at $670.29 you find a very different financial picture. Of course you have no control over future rent increases.

5465 Arizona, La Mesa
Complicated paperwork and incomplete renovations seem to have held back the sale of this house. It’s a fixer, on the market 79 days and far less than its 2004 price of $425,000.
It is a thing you have to do as you shop; compare the quantity of what you get with the price. But it is only one of many things to consider. The Redfin site offers you all the basic information you need to begin your search. As your search narrows down, you will have to inspect the properties to evaluate the finer points of the deal. Redfin offers three ways to see a listed property as your search becomes more serious. If you need a refresher on the Redfin process, just click the logo in the upper left corner of any Redfin page to jump to the home page.
