Agent Notes

This Del Cerro condo in the Valley Meadows complex represented an excellent opportunity for my buyer in late 2022. Listed on December 1, 2022, by Erick Gydesen and Sheila Pepper from Big Block Realty, the property sold quickly in just 13 days on January 6, 2023, for the full asking price of $399,000. At $590 per square foot, this 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit offered exceptional value for first-time buyers seeking an updated, move-in-ready property. Built in 1972 but thoroughly refreshed, the 676-square-foot home featured an open and bright floorplan with wood-like flooring throughout, creating a modern and inviting atmosphere. The spacious living room flowed seamlessly into a large kitchen that was the star of the property—showcasing brand-new quartz countertops, new cabinets, new stainless steel appliances, and a convenient breakfast bar perfect for casual dining. The bathroom featured dual sinks for added convenience, and the large master bedroom (14x11) provided ample space for comfortable living. Practical features included a 1-car shared garage with storage and guest parking spaces for visitors. The Valley Meadows community amenities were a major selling point: a community pool with heating, spa, sauna, and laundry facilities—all for an incredibly low HOA fee of just $250/month covering common area maintenance. The location was ideal for urban professionals and students: just minutes to shopping malls, golf courses, SDSU, Mission Valley, and downtown San Diego. Working with the listing agents from Big Block Realty, we successfully secured this turnkey property for my client at an excellent price point in a convenient Del Cerro location. The rapid 13-day sale demonstrated strong buyer demand for updated, affordable condos in this well-maintained 60-unit complex with exceptional amenities and a low HOA fee.
