Recently in San Diego a family brought their child to meet Santa so the young boy could tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas. Unfortunately Santa had to give the little boy the bad news that he couldn’t get all the toys that he wanted this year. That made the boy very sad. This same scenario seems to playing out all over America and around the world. One local economist had said that in recent years Santa had been very reluctant not to bring all the gifts asked for by the children and adults. The economy was solid he stated and the real estate boom fueled the stacks of presents under the trees around the world. He said, this year even Santa has felt the pinch of the downturn in the economy.

When questioned Clause said, I’m short selling my home too… we’re all in this together. Mrs. Clause is heartbroken about loosing her home and their vacation home in San Diego. It was said that even the Clauses didn’t see this one coming. Santa is laying elves off in the North Pole and has asked for part of the $700 Billion in bailout money but Barney Frank denied them the funds.

With the economy down and home equities lower or non existent at least here in parts of San Diego, it might be a little light under the tree in 2008.

I get many requests through emails, phone calls contacts from my San Diego real estate web sites and blogs asking information on buying a home or showing requests on our listings and REO’s. I work very methodically and although I can be flexible experience has taught me that procedure needs to be followed for helping clients achieve their dreams. Before I start showing property and in many cases emailing properties I will always have my new home buyer pre-qualify with one of the lenders I work with. If the buyer already has a lender I will ask them for their lenders info so I can call them and talk with them. I want to know what loan amount they can get to see what price range to show then homes or condos in.

Knowing purchasing power and monthly payment comfort zone is very important before a buyer gets far down the road of buying a home they can’t afford or looking in a price range that is too low for what they can afford and want to buy. I equate it to knowing how much many is in your pocket before you go shopping. Unless you’re using credit or a check you would need to know how much cash is in your pocket before you went into the grocery store and started filling up your cart. Some people find that they have no money in their pocket and can’t buy right now while others realize that they can buy groceries for a month. Before you buy a home or even start seriously looking a buyer needs to know how much the bank will loan them and what the monthly payments will be.

Once the buyer speaks with a lender then the buyer knows their home purchasing power and their agent knows in what price range to start looking in. To me this is at the very beginning stage of buying a home. I’ve noticed many inexperienced Real Estate Agents not guide their home buyers in the right direction by having them contact a lender upfront. It’s sad when the agent shows property to the new homebuyers for months, find the perfect home and then realize that the home they want is priced at $500,000 and they can only get a loan up to $300,000. It turns into a waste of time for everyone involved and shows the client how inexperienced the agent is. If you’re buying a home in San Diego make sure you call us and we can have one of the great lenders we work with call you.

So now we’re bailing out the auto industry. Who’s next? Every business is affected in some way by the recession but do all of them get to be bailed out by American tax dollars? If so wouldn’t it be better to just help small businesses “businesses under 100 employees” than to help the giant companies that are run inefficiently with huge CEO bonuses. Of course the businesses have lobbyists and lots of them looking after their interests and lining politician’s pockets for their political careers but who’s looking out for us? And wouldn’t bailing out small businesses spread the wealth throughout the whole country instead of just concentrating on Detroit or just recently Manhattan. What is going on? Let these businesses fail. There are procedures for businesses to regroup its called bankruptcy.

Recently I saw the comparison on the news about how American Company Autoworkers are paid on average a little over $70 per hour while the Japanese Company Auto Workers working in the United States make just over $40 per hour. The American Company Auto Workers are unionized while the Japanese Company Auto Workers are not. The Japanese plants put out more cars and trucks per day then their Detroit counterparts. The quality of the automobiles is debatable so I won’t go there but the fuel economy of the Japanese Auto Makers is superior in most cases to the American Autos. If the American Automobile Companies business model is outdated and running in the red it needs to be changed by their high priced Harvard and Yale CEO’s not bailed out by you and me. Let them fail or every big business in the US will be lining up behind them.

I propose the solution of Loan Forgiveness. If all these huge corporations are getting bailed out then why not help out the taxpayers, the people, us? Now that we’re strapped with a trillion dollar debt and soon to be more to bailout every company with a hand out or political ties to the guy with the checkbook in D.C. Shouldn’t we be getting the money to help out us the homeowner the tax payer since we and our children are going to have to pay it back? Let the businesses fail but help the people – the people are the government not the corporations. If one of the main problems to our economy is the consumer and their lack of participation buying consumer goods then letting them loan modify at the new value of their home or walk away without any affect on their credit and no long term retribution from the debt collection companies that buy the bad debt from the banks is the option that should be considered.

I think the Federal Government should declare a SATE OF EMERGENCY just like they would in a natural disaster. And this economic disaster is far worse and more reaching with long term affects than a hurricane or tornado. I’ve seen my tax dollars go to hurricane relief and tornado relief and many other disasters all the time. Areas here in San Diego County and other areas of the country hit by the foreclosure tornado – hurricane - tsunami NEED HELP NOW! It’s time to help them – this is a STATE OF EMERGENCY!

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.
