Low Interest Rates in 2009 for San Diego Home Buyers

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.

San Diego in 2009 Top 10 Worst Real Estate Markets

December 29th, 2008

San Diego Real Estate Blog

San Diego is predicted by Forbes to be in the top 10 for worst real estate markets in 2009. The article stated that the median home price in 2008 is $412,490. The 2008 real estate year  isn’t finished yet and the numbers wont be in for a while so I’m guessing Forbes got this number by looking at the 11 previous months in the 2008 which is only partially 2009 San Diego Real Estate Predictionsaccurate although probably very close to the number that should come out in mid January of 2009. Forbes predicts that there will be a 21.1% drop in the San Diego median home price in 2009. If their prediction for 2009 San Diego median home values is correct the median home price at the end of 2009 should be $326,000. They also predict that in 2010 there will be a 2.9% drop in median home values from the 2009 number.

As a real estate agent in San Diego going into the 2009 market I think it’s going to be a great year. One of the best. I’m not one to sugar coat things either. The upper end homes in San Diego still have a ways to drop and many larger more expensive homes will need to come down and this is where you will see most of the bloodshed in the San Diego Real Estate Market in 2009. The lower end homes in San Diego which I would say are the homes under $400,000 in many cases have multiple offers on them when priced correctly. In some areas of San Diego County the lower end of real estate has leveled off. The median home price is not the average home price. The median home price is the home that is in the middle of all of the homes sold in a particular year. This means that if 20,000 homes sold in 2009 in San Diego the home that was number 10,000 is the median home price. Since the upper end will still come down, maybe 20% to 40% in some areas of the county this median price will be lower in 2009. Will it be 21.1% lower? Forbes thinks so and they might be right.

San Diego has a silver lining and that silver lining is that it’s San Diego. San Diego is one of the most desirable places to live in the United States and the world. San Diego was one of the first areas to head into the real estate downturn and will undoubtedly be one of the first to come out of it. They also predict that in 2010 there will be a 2.9% drop in San Diego median home values from the 2009 number. This is a great sign showing that the recovery should start then in the whole real estate market and the lower end should be getting a bump in 2010. When it does the lower end will start the recovery first flowed by the upper end. 2009 should be the best year for opportunity and getting the pick of the San Diego real estate litter especially with interest rates down and dropping even further in 2009. If you are considering buying a San Diego home in 2009 make sure you contact us. We know the market and what’s going on in San Diego County.

Should I Buy a Home in 2009 ?

December 6th, 2008

San Diego Real Estate Home Condo 2009San Diego Real Estate Blog

I get asked this question every year without fail. I would have to say that my answer is always the same. You should buy a home when you’re ready to buy a home. The answer will be different for everybody when asked that question. It’s personal and depends on the factors of the individual or family. If the question is, “Is This a Good Time to Buy a Home in San Diego?” then I would have to say it depends.

The San Diego County real estate market is different in different areas of the county and in different price ranges as well as for homes and condos. In many areas of San Diego County including the Chula Vista area the 3 bedroom homes priced under $400,000 seem to be in high demand and when they are foreclosures and priced right they get gobbled up quickly. Since we are foreclosure REO agents in San Diego our Bank Owned Homes that we list in the $400,000 and under range sell fast.

In San Diego County the upper end homes which I’ll categorize for this post to be over $800,000 have and will continue to drop in value through 2009. If there is a particular San Diego neighborhood or floor plan that you are interested in I would have to say that it would be a good idea to keep your eye or have your agent “ME” keep an eye on that area for well priced homes. They will drop in 2009 in many areas but this could be the window of opportunity that won’t last forever. The government is spending a lot of money to stabilize the real estate market and when in does stabilize the upper end will too.

Condos are a bargain and will continue to get cheaper. If there is a particular complex, area, or floor plan you desire it will be bargain time for you throughout 2009. You can be picky in most areas with the condos because of the huge inventory to select from. My opinion is that if you can afford a single family detached home it is usually a better choice than buying a condo for resale reasons. For those of you who enjoy the ease of condo living the fruit is ripe so start looking in 2009 and pick the one that is just right for you.

2009 in San Diego will still be a buyers market.

Buying a Home for Christmas

November 30th, 2008

San Diego Real Estate Blog

If you are considering buying a home in 2009 you might want to consider starting your home shopping during the Christmas Holiday. Over the years I have noticed that there are far less San Diego Home for Christmasbuyers looking to buy a home during the winter holidays. Most people and families are way too busy during the holidays to even consider looking at buying a new home or condo. Because of this there are far less offers on real estate during the winter months than any other time of year. Sellers start getting very anxious when fewer and fewer buyers come through there home the deeper we get into the holiday season. In high foreclosure and short sale areas like San Diego County the banks looking to get some assets off the books before 2008 is over will be looking at all offers.

I personally purchased a home several years ago during the Christmas Holidays and paid about $30,000 less than market value on a home in the low $200,000 range. The sellers were anxious and had already purchased a home in another state and were more than willing to accept my low offer. It was gain and worked out very well. If you considering buying in 2009 in the San Diego area you should consider looking now in 2008 and buying your home for Christmas. I couldn’t think of a better present.
