San Diego Home Prices -San Diego Home Sales Drop
San Diego home prices and San Diego home sales both slipped in July. This was the conclusion from the latest report released by Dataquick, a real estate tracking company.
San Diego County home sales dropped 0.9 percent in July, compared to a year ago, while prices fell by 3.8 percent.
One should keep in mind that if this latest report is comparing home prices and home sales to a year ago, the San Diego real estate market at that time was also extremely weak. So, to have a drop from the July 2010 levels, is ominous in and of itself.
What’s being overlooked here, is the fact that this drop in both sales and home prices is occurring during this seasonally strongest time for real estate sales!

San Diego Real Estate – After The Fall
San Diego homes
For many homeowners in San Diego we reach the fourth stage of housing-bubble grief — Depression.
We’ve somehow managed to traverse the first three stages of the crisis: 1) Denial, “What housing bubble? Buy now before you’re priced out of the market!”; 2) Anger, “Those evil banks, SOBs”; 3) Bargaining, “HAMP, $8K Tax Credits, Stimulus, etc.”.
Now we find ourselves facing the crisis with eyes wide open, and it is enough to sober up the drunkest of drunks after a three-day bender. Read more
