Real Estate Values in San Diego

In a recent press release, it was stated that In San Diego, where luxury home prices have doubled in the past five years, values rose just 0.9% in the first quarter and 0.7% in the fourth quarter of 2005. 

Agents said the market is returning to a more balanced state after a prolonged period of rapid appreciation. "It's just a normal, solid market after several years of somewhat frantic buying," said Bonnie Adams of Coldwell Banker in La Jolla. "We are seeing price reductions for properties that sit, but good properties are selling quickly." There are a growing number of homes in the $2 million to $3 million range, but there are also an adequate number of buyers, Adams said. She expects values to rise 5% to 10% in 2006 if interest rates stay the same or move slightly higher.

Southern California Life

No definite boundaries mark the beginning of southern California-Culver city as opposed to northern California but the year-round warm weather and the beautiful desert surroundings may be a pretty good indication. While many dream of owning a home in the area the current skyrocketing prices have made that a bit harder than in former times for first-time buyers. There's not much open space left in southern California but if it's the city life , with the Pacific to your west and the mountains within just a few hours that your longing for, then this is the place for you.

Beach City Living

Whats not to like about beach city living? It has so much to offer, including sunbathing, volleyball and surfing. Blessed with a mixture of single-family homes, condos and apartments, in middle to upper class neighborhoods, multi-housing units hold a slight dominance in the Redondo, Manhattan and Hermosa Beach areas.Amenities for these neighborhoods include fishing piers, numerous parks, libraries with a wonderful mixture of fine restaurants,  along with a variety of entertainment.Why not find your place in the sun?

Existing Home Sales Are Up?

What happened to the Bubble?

The National Association of Realtors reported Thursday that that sales of existing single-family homes and condominiums rose by 5.2 percent in February to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.91 million units. This despite the predicte 5 % drop compared to last year.

The prices of homes sold in February rose to $209,000 for the nationwide median.That was 10.6 percent above the median price in February 2006.   

Economists believe that both new and existing home sales will dip by around 5 percent this year as rising mortgage rates cuts into demand.

But mortgage rates seem to have perhaps stagnated because of a drop in inflation. But Lereah said all indications so far were pointing to a gradual slowdown in sales to a more sustainable pace.

By region of the country, sales rose by 19.2 percent in the Northeast and were up 11.1 percent in the Midwest and 5.1 percent in the West in February. Only the South showed weakness last month with sales there dropping by 2.5 percent from the January pace.

Lereah said sales activity at present was really a "tale of two cities" with some of the hottest markets showing declines while some medium priced markets still posting strong sales gains.

He said that sales were down by double-digit levels in such hot sales markets as Phoenix, Fort Lauderdale and San Diego. He said, by contrast, sales were up by double-digit amounts in aeas such as Indianapolis, Albuquerque and Houston.
