San Diego Real Estate Overpriced?
—————————————————————-
Hi Bob,
My name is George. I’ve lived in San Diego all my life and I’ve always had the goal to one day own a home here. My wife and I make a decent living (Computer Programmer and a Regional Controller) but I don’t see how we can ever own a home in San Diego at these prices. Mira Mesa, Scripps Ranch, Penasquitos, and Tierrasanta are older neighborhoods that are falling apart and are way OVERpriced. Read more

San Diego Real Estate – A Bottom … Not A Reversal
When the San Diego real estate market hits bottom, it will be just that, a bottom, not a reversal. Don’t believe that home prices will spike up and shoot back up to pre-bust levels any time soon! I find that highly doubtful even if the economy were healthy in other sectors because who is going to fuel this reversal? Will it be the people who have foreclosures and short sales on their credit history, or another group of salivating sub-prime buyers?
Credit is tightening up to the point that home buying is truly back to where you actually have to put 5 to 20% down and have a decent credit rating. That will restrict the pool of available buyers considerably, which will prevent another ridiculous up-ride on the home price roller coaster.
The “bottom” will be the new median home price, according to what the local marketplace and income levels dictate, with modest year to year appreciation.
Until the ‘real’ bottom is reached in the San Diego real estate market, expect many false upward spikes driven by people looking at only one set of data and incorrectly timing the best time to buy.

In my 7-7-10 my post: San Diego real estate 2010 2nd. Half Outlook … double-dips I said that my local San Diego real estate market observations indicated that we are heading into a double dip for the real estate market.
Here is what Forbes just said: “The final figures for the U.S. housing market’s performance thus far in 2010 won’t be officially released for several weeks. But a review of the best preliminary data available indicates that the recovery in home values that began in early 2009 has stalled. A second dip is clearly under way in some places, if not across the entire U.S.” Read more
