Maybe the sub $150k condos don't look as nice and don't have an ocean view but to see such a HUGE range in prices tells me there is something else unique to these cheaper priced condo's that causes their prices to remain depressed.   

Most of those purchases were in Santee and Lakeside, small little blue collar neighborhoods in San Diego area.  

there is nothing wrong with Blue Collar demographic.With your description above it is impossible to give proper feedback.How many people live in the town?

Properties aren't going up much (until some laws start changing) but you can still get lots of Multi-families near the ocean.

You could spend $10,000 painting the house pink with blue polkadots, that doesn't mean the house is worth $10,k more, it might be worth $10k less after a paint job like that.

In blue states you likely are required
