    I’m in the middle of writing a blog post right now. If, instead of looking at physical location, we look at price point, there seem to be three different markets. We actually have a sellers’ market for single family detached homes from $200K to $450K (that is 3 months or less inventory). 450K-700K is a more normal market (3-7 months inventory) and above $700K we are looking at at least 7 months of inventory. Attached homes have at least an extra month in all price ranges. But the moratorium

    I spoke with an asset manager today. Despite the 2002 prices and terrific interest rates, he sees several more years of foreclosures coming our way, peaking in the next 9 to 14 months.However, as I’ve been out in the market with clients, I keep running into bidding wars, with 3 to 20+ offers on most properties. The investors seem to be trying to define the bottom because they can get a positive cash flow on rental properties on San Diego real estate

    7/1 ARM at 6% LOL. People just buy with 30 yr or 15 yr fixed.I’m buying next month because it’s cheaper to buy then to rent.  I’m getting less than 5.5 30 yr fixed with ZERO downpayment.

    I give you credit for your reply. But, these ‘long term you’ll be ok’ remarks are just BULL! Who wants to take a 30-50% one year loss? Yes, many condos in South Bay are now off 50% in ONE YEAR! Since 2005, who would not have been better off renting? Now, really was this a news interview or an info-commercial?

    This PHD is just promoting (his?) a real estate website! But, the headlines today 12-30-08 (Home Values Fall 18% in October) show how WRONG this PHD’s forecast was wrong! The fall for San Diego was larger than the national average of 18%. In San Diego, the average home drop in 2008 is around 30%!!! So, on a $500,000 home purchase in Jan ‘08 you may now have lost $150,000! But, keep in mind what this PHD said in ending..buying San Diego real estate in 2008..YOU WON’T GET HURT!

    Take the comments in context please. The _prediction_ was that IF you are going to stay in your home 5+ years, it is an OK time to buy and “you wouldn’t get hurt.” Hindsight is simply marvelous. I wish I could have been interviewed after the fact. I did say prices would continue to slip. I admit I underestimated. Apparently I wasn’t the only one; I think the entire world (at least 99.99%) missed the mark predicting the credit crisis meltdown that reamed everything starting mid to late summer.

    9 months later… financial collapse continues, now on wall street, and around the world. Inflation burgeoning. San Diego median home price down from $430k to $380k–that’s more than 10% in 9 months. Foreclosures have temporarily slowed while lenders comply with new California regulations. Investors take their pick (firesale for the rich), but it’s apparently going to be raining foreclosures for years…

    Remember that prices usually go below the trend line when there was a bubble.
