Just Sold in Mission Hills: Our Buyer Lands a Corner-Unit Condo for Under Asking

We represented the buyer at 3922 Albatross St Unit 3, listed at $575,000 and purchased for $570,000 — a smart win in one of San Diego’s most walkable neighborhoods.

In a market where well-priced condos in Mission Hills and Hillcrest routinely draw competition, getting into the right unit at the right number takes strategy. Our buyer fell for this upstairs corner unit in a charming five-residence building — and we made sure they didn’t overpay to get it.

We negotiated the purchase at $570,000 — $5,000 under the asking price — securing a turnkey home in one of San Diego’s most sought-after uptown neighborhoods without a bidding war premium.

Inside, the open-concept floor plan is filled with natural light, anchored by a cozy fireplace with a modern surround and mantle. The kitchen has been updated with newer countertops and backsplash, the bathroom is remodeled, and a brand-new HVAC system means comfort from day one. Add in-unit laundry, generous storage, and a designated off-street parking space, and it’s everything a first home or pied-à-terre should be.

And then there’s the location: minutes on foot to the shops, restaurants, and coffee of Mission Hills and Hillcrest, with quick access to Balboa Park, the airport, and downtown. Homes like this are exactly why buyers love 92103.
