2010 San Diego Real Estate Market

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

2010 San Diego Real Estate MarketSan Diego Real Estate Blog

2010 San Diego Real Estate Market

I know it’s still 2009 November and it might be a little early for 2010 San Diego Real Estate Market predictions but I think I’ll give it a shot. 2010 in the San Diego Real Estate Market should show more foreclosures than we had in 2009. In 2009 many foreclosures were held off of the market due to the moratoriums. Now that many of the foreclosure moratoriums are lifted the banks are gearing up to get the REO’s off of their books. 2010 in San Diego and many parts of the country will be known as the year of the “Last of the Foreclosure Market”. There will be more foreclosures after 2010 into 2011,  2012 and 2013 but 2010 will be the last big year for foreclosures.

There will still be more short sales and some banks are moving faster on them. There’s lots of talk about the short sales being streamlined and moving through the system faster. In 2010 it might just be a lot of false hope in this area. I hope I’m wrong and we see the short sales as a whole (not just select banks) move through the system fast and to a sale but it might just be a lot of hype. Systems like REOTrans are setting up to do short sales but I’ll believe the push towards short sales over foreclosures by the banks when I see it.

For homebuyers in 2010 it should be a delight with more inventory coming into the San Diego Real Estate Market. In some price ranges like the lower end first time home buyer prices under $400,000 there still will be a fight with other buyers to get the homes. There are way too many buyers and investors in the under $400,000 range in many areas of San Diego County that will keep this price range in very short supply in 2010. The upper end in non-coastal areas will still slide a little lower in 2010. We’ll see how this worked out in 2011.

Lawrence Yun Predicts San Diego Market Recovery

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Lawrence YunSan Diego Real Estate Blog 

I Googled San Diego Real Estate this morning and saw the top rated spot was a news article from the Union Tribune, Real Estate Expert: San Diego at Leading Edge of Recovery. The Real Estate Expert they site in the article is Lawrence Yun the Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors. Yun is known for making many blunders and erroneous predictions in the past. Check out http://www.lawrenceyunwatch.blogspot.com/ for some in depth research on Yun’s other predictions and faux pas. I’m a big fan of laying all the facts out on the table for anyone buying a home in San Diego County. A prediction like this headline needs to have all the facts including the ones behind the scenes. 

The article Real Estate Expert: San Diego at Leading Edge of Recovery bases the recovery on rising prices and sales. Yun states that there is only a 2.5 month inventory of homes for sale and new home construction sluggish. He said that the demand is strong. In an excerpt from the article Yun confesses: “He began with a confession about how he missed the real estate bubble of 2004-06. Surely, the system had enough checks and balances to avoid a runaway market, he thought at the time. “I was clearly wrong,” he said.” My concern now is what else is Yun overlooking through assuming that others have checks and balances in place.  

In the UT Article, “He also predicted that foreclosures will continue at high levels for the next 12 months because of the weak economy. But unlike last year, he said this year’s foreclosures are being snapped up in many markets, including San Diego.” The market in many areas of San Diego is saturated with many short sales. Many of the short sales have homeowners in them not making mortgage payments and in the foreclosure process while trying to short sell their home. I think the foreclosures at high levels will carry on well past 12 months. Related Blog Post : http://www.responsiblelending.org/mortgage-lending/tools-resources/new-foreclosures-by-state-for.html  

Many agents and asset managers speak of the tidal wave of foreclosures that are coming. I wonder why the banks are holding back all of the foreclosures that should be on the market. If the foreclosures are being held back and not put on the market for sale then there is a false sense of inventory. They are foreclosed on or will be soon but the homes are intentionally not being made available to home buyers. Why? Maybe this is to stabilize and firm up the market. But is this real or false stabilization? 

The question is by doing this is it creating another problem of false values like the bubble we just came out of. I don’t know but the information needs to be out there for potential home buyers so they have all the facts when buying. Let’s face it, when NAR says something the news and the public listens. Let’s make sure they have all the facts not just the talking points for getting buyers to buy homes. 

Is this last spike in sales and home prices in San Diego due to the mass of foreclosures being held off the market and only a trickling of foreclosures being released for sale? Is there a Great Wave of foreclosures coming? Just do a Google search for REO Tsunami and you will have plenty to read. 

I think it is a great time to buy a home in many areas of San Diego County in certain price ranges. I think interest rates are low and the $8,000 tax credit is a helping hand for first time homebuyers. I also think that a home buyer needs to be aware that there are many more foreclosure due to hit the market and the word on the street is that the banks are holding back many foreclosures. If you are considering a home purchase in San Diego do your homework and gather all of the facts.

Del Mar San Diego County Fair 2009

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Del Mar San Diego County Fair 2009San Diego Real Estate Blog

Everybody loves the Del Mar Fair. Officially known as the San Diego County Fair it won’t let you down for fun, food, rides, games and entertainment. I went this year and found that the 2009 Fair is just as good as the years before. I stopped by Albertsons Grocery Store and got discounted tickets and then drove to the Del Mar Fair to meet my family and friends. I went on a Friday afternoon was surprised to see that there was no line for parking and a very small line to get into the Fairgrounds. The only reason there was a line was for security to check belongings.

I went to one of the stages where we had friends performing and then strait to the rides and games for the kids. Some of the Funzone rides are Carousel, Cliff Hanger, Crazy Mouse, Creep Show, Dodge’em Bumper Cars, Evolution, Experience, Fast Trax Slide, Fighter, Grand Wheel, Hard Rock, Haunted Mansion, Hi Miler, Hydroslide, Magnum, Mardi Gras, Mega Drop, MetroMaze Mirror Maze, Moscow Circus, Pharaoh’s Fury, Sky Flyer, Speed, SR-2 Simulator, Starship 3000, Storm, Surf Shack, Tango, Techno Jump, Techno Power, Tilt a Whirl, Wave, Wave Swinger, Wind Surf, Xtreme, Zero Gravity, Zipper, and Zombie.

Some of the Kiddieland Rides are Anchors Away, Baby Eli, Baby Venice, Baja Buggies, Balloon, Bees, Century Wheel, Convoy, Cuckoo Haus, Cyclone, Dive Bomber, Dizzy Dragon, Dog O Rama, Drop Zone,  Flying Tigers, Ghost Pirates, Goliath Slide, Helicopter, Incredible Coaster, Jumping Jumbos, Kiddie Bumper Boats, Kiddie Swing, Kite Flyer,  Little Dipper, Lolliswings, Looney Train, Mardi Gras, Monkey Maze, Mini Bumper Cars,  Motorcycle Jump, Oh Chute Big Slide, Raiders, River Ride, Rockin’ Tug, Safari Train, Silver Streak,  Speedway,  Spider Mania, Tea Cups, Wacky Worm, and Winky the Whale.

After a few rides and a few games we were off to the awesome food at the fair. I mostly go for the Del Mar San Diego County Fair food. There are so many different kinds of food from hot dogs to fried Oreo cookies. We grabbed a table full of the good stuff and sat and watched the Navy Band play some Big Band Music. It was great. My 8 month old granddaughter came to the Fair for the very first and loved it too.

We also enjoyed the shopping and great exhibits that the fair has to offer. The 2009 Del Mar Fair or San Diego County Fair whatever you choose to call it runs from June 12 to July 5. Make sure you don’t miss it.

List of San Diego Foreclosures

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

San Diego Real Estate BlogList of San Diego Foreclosures

Do you want a list of San Diego Foreclosures? If so we can help you with that. There are thousands of foreclosures in San Diego County and the list changes every day. We thought about putting a daily San Diego foreclosure list together but then thought why not just give the San Diego foreclosure search tools to the buyers. That way a buyer looking for a foreclosure in San Diego or even the whole state of California can search foreclosures by zip code, price, size and any other possible search criteria.

This service costs us money but we feel that if a client wants to search for a foreclosure, why not give them the tools real estate experts use. Buyers then know how serious we are about helping them find a San Diego foreclosure by letting them use our expensive foreclosure analyzer tools for free. A list of foreclosures in San Diego is ineffective compared to how these tools can help you locate the perfect San Diego foreclosure. When you’re ready to buy a San Diego Foreclosure make sure you call us the San Diego Foreclosure Experts!

Low Interest Rates in 2009 for San Diego Home Buyers

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

San Diego Real Estate Blog
San Diego First Time Home Buyers 2009
Home buyers in San Diego are enjoying the low interest rates in 2009. Many home buyers have been sitting on the fence for quite some time and many San Diego home buyers are saying yes in 2009. During the first month of January in 2009 I have noticed an increase in buyers looking into buying a home in San Diego. With foreclosures and short sales dominating many of the areas and price ranges the pickings are ripe.

The interest rates being low allow a potential home buyer to have a lower monthly payment or buy a more expensive home. This basically means they can get more for their money or buy the same size home they have had their eye on and have a lower monthly house payment. I have worked with many San Diego first time home buyers and have found that they are amazed that they are able to buy a home at such an affordable price and such a low monthly payment. Just a couple of years ago many first time home buyers thought they were priced out of the San Diego Real Estate Market forever. Now many can buy and have a monthly payment for what they’re renting for.
