We have winners!
We started the guess-the-sales-price contest prior to 517 N. Cedros hitting the market, so there was little guidance on what to expect – none of these row houses have sold in more than a year!
The bank listed it on March 9th for $882,900 – and it just closed on Friday for $880,000 cash.

Petra and greenlander guessed the same amount, $875,500 so they are both winners of two VIP tickets to the Fiesta del Sol in Solana Beach on the weekend of June 2nd & 3rd. The English Beat are the headliners:

Hey what happened to my guess? I was right under college joe.
Sorry, it is added.
Sure, NOW people stop grossly overpaying.
$ 25K out/ Not too bad a guess from far away ;D
Besides JTR, does anyone here have $880,000 in cash? There are certainly lots of Richie-Riches in So Cal.
Hey Jim, I’ve been participating on these contests for YEARS on your blog and finally I won!
But I live in Silicon Valley, so I’ll have to settle for my prize being that I was actually right for once, lol.
Please offer my prize to the next-closest contestant or donate it to charity. Or you can offer to buy my girlfriend and I a beer when we finally make it down to San Diego again.
Yes, the next time you are here, look me up!!
I appreciate you being here since the beginning!
george3 was only $500 away from the winners, you are up next for the tickets.
All you can drink beer with JTR….best prize ever!
