Clairemont Mesa, San Diego home appraisals in 24 hours

Signed desktop appraisals of Clairemont Mesa houses and condos, from your photos and the records, emailed within a day of payment.

Clairemont Mesa is the big postwar neighborhood on the mesa above Mission Bay, built mostly in the 1950s and 1960s, with Tecolote Canyon running through it. Plenty of its ranch houses haven't sold in decades, so I'm often valuing a parent's place for a trust, an estate or a sibling buyout, working from your photos, the records and nearby sales.

What I look at in Clairemont Mesa

  1. 1

    In Bay Park and Bay Ho, I check whether you really see Mission Bay from the main rooms or only from the yard, since that difference shows up clearly in sales.

  2. 2

    Many Clairemont ranch houses have added second stories, enclosed patios or converted garages, so I check which additions show up in the county record and which don't before I value them.

  3. 3

    A canyon-rim lot along Tecolote Canyon can mean privacy and a view, or a steep, unusable slope, and I study the lot lines and your backyard photos to tell which.

What to photograph

Photograph the view toward Mission Bay if you have one, the backyard and slope if you're on a canyon, and every addition: the second story, the enclosed patio, the garage conversion. Include the original kitchen and baths if they're still there.

Clairemont Mesa questions

How do I find out what my parents' house in Clairemont Mesa is worth?
Send me photos of every room, the yard and any additions, plus the address. I compare it with recent Clairemont sales of ranch houses in similar condition, and value it as of today or the date of death. Your CPA can use that date-of-death value for the step-up in basis, which matters on a house held this long.
How much does the ADU we added behind our Clairemont house add to its value?
It depends on what buyers pay, and since Clairemont has more backyard units than it used to, I can often find sales of ranch houses with a permitted ADU and compare them with similar houses without one. The gap between those Clairemont sales, not the construction cost, is what I credit.
When would I get the report for a Clairemont Mesa home?
Within 24 hours of the moment I have both your payment and your photos, weekends and holidays included. If you're not in a rush, the regular schedule is 5–10 business days at $299 or $449.
