    Well Looking at the last downturn there were many small turnarounds followed by even bigger downturns. This thing has just started to fall, Future buyers need to wait at least two years to really see a picture.

    In my humble opinion the real state market is headed for a crash much
    in many ways resembling what happened in Japan during the 90’s. Our
    stock market followed Japan’s lead 10 years later our housing market
    followed theirs 10 years later. If you put a chart of the Japanese
    real state market from 1980 to 2000 it mirrors the real state market
    in the US to a T from 1990 to 2005 and just around here is when theirs
    went flat.

    I’m renting and waiting to scoop up at half price, just like Buffet. :-)

    Certainly one reason your “things are improving” story has so much appeal in the media (as we see all over now) is that we _need a new storyline_.

    That’s just a reality of the press. Yesterday’s story (price declines, possible bubble burst) is old, so why write it?

    Tomorrow’s story (“back to normal” is one comforting option) is much more interesting, quite apart from any real real estate data or evidence or housing historical experience.

  4. It seems that SD real estate follows about a 10 year boom to bust cycle; perhaps it takes 10 years for people to forget the last bust.

  5. The extraordinarily high prices for San Diego real estate really make the investment potential very risky when the average rent doesn’t come anywhere near the carrying charges an owner has to pay.
