3 Reasons to Buy a Home in Imperial Beach
A Realtor explores why investors and families should choose IB to purchase a home.
One Realtor said it directly: “People love it here.” But why?
U-T San Diego attempts to explore why people might be interested in investing in Imperial Beach. Cheryl Schaumburg, the aforementioned Realtor, lists a few reasons in the report. Here's three:
The community's image is improving: She argues that a problem she used to have, people who would put money down, then ask for it back, after being warned of IB's reputation – is no longer an issue.
Property values are on the rise – and fast: IB is enjoying the local heat in the housing market, with median prices on homes, and especially condos, up this year.
Good things are coming: Though the opening has been delayed, a hotel project is set to open in the fall and the sandcastle competition is back after a year-long hiatus.
