San Diego Condominium Sales Price Appreciation

by Bob Schwartz

San Diego California resale condominium appreciation

In the table below, www.brokerforyou.com looked at selected San Diego neighborhoods that

had 10 or more closed sales in August 2008 & August 2007.

San Diego condominium valuesThe sales data was compiled by DataQuick Information Systems & published in the 9-28-08 edition of the San Diego Union-Tribune.

One should keep in mind the above chart is just for a one year period (August 2007 vs. August 2008) and

San Diego home values topped out around the Summer of 2005!

Lastly, I would note that these figures do not take into account the very prevalent seller concession (usually payment of thousands in the buyer's closing costs) necessitated by an ultra strong buyers market place.

  1. Real estate should always be thought of as long term investments. People who buy properties whether in San Diego or anywhere else must realize that the potential for loss is ever present.

  2. I think people’s expectations of multiple digit appreciation each year in real estate are now proven to be a total fallacy.

    Homeowners should be prepared to ride out the current fluctuation, because in the long run values should continue to escalate.

  4. It seems speculators were first into the dot com boom, when that went bust they moved into real estate and now it seems like they’re moving into commodities.

  5. I remember in 2005 that it seems every month the paper reported that real estate sales were down by double digits though the values seem to be holding up. You would think an intelligent person would realize sales cannot drop by such a magnitude without values following.
