Is this the bottom or just the trough?

Yes there are signs of recovery even if anemic? Pending sales on the increase (especially in North San Diego County), Investors coming off the sidelines, multiple offers on reasonably priced properties and interest rates hitting historical lows. To look at this objectively since part of the increased business is typical in our part of California or San Diego this time of year. There are at least two big factors to put pressure on the 2nd half of the year or from July on. The first but probably less important is buyer confidence is low combined with cyclically the number of buyers start to decrease. The next and more significant is to be seen this April-June, I am told is the period of time one of the largest segments of those crazy low 5/1 arm loans some of us acquired back in 2003 will reset. That leaves those homeowners with the choice of refinancing (if they qualify and more importantly if their home appraises) at a rate that may be as much as twice as their current or sell. Between those new sellers and the bank owned properties we expect to see over the following 3-12 months we can expect to see a larger than normal addition of new and aggressively priced inventory hit the market. The total number of foreclosures and notices of default that have already gone through the system so far are roughly only 20% of the number many analysts say we will see.

Though that may panic some, including our fed, they have stepped up with these latest rate cuts with more potentially on the horizon and more importantly have loosened the reserve requirements which frees up a ton of cash to lend at these already great interest rates. That should most likely take its effect in 3-12 months. So... if I were to bet on when the bottom of this market will hit would be fourth quarter this year and by then you may just be competing with the rest of the speculators trying to jump back in. My 2 cents J

Jeff Cole

Windermere Exclusive Properties Congratulates Jeff Cole and his team for their outstanding performance!

Ranked both the #1 agent and the #1Team in sales volume for Windermere Exclusive Properties in 2007. Jeff Cole is second to none.

"There is truly something exciting and unique about Jeff says Jim Brown, Broker/Owner of Windermere Exclusive Properties. "And don't tell Jeff it is a tough market, while other agents may be scratching their heads trying to find business or selling properties, Jeff just doesn't seem to stop. In fact not only is he showing no signs of slowing, he has been a whirlwind of activity ever since joining us at Windermere in May of 2006".

When asked how he seems to be bucking the trend, Cole replied "I have been waiting and preparing for this moment for years and think it is one of the most exciting and predictable markets in a decade. Not only do bargains abound for those deal hunters looking for equity at the close of escrow, but for the person looking for that perfect home there is a unique opportunity to peruse a great selection, enjoy historically low interest rates and find some prices as much as 35% below where they were in 2005/2006."

Cole, Associate Broker and Premier Property Director in addition to attaining the top spot for sales performance has recently been recognized for his innovative program "We will buy your home for cash", and his award winning website http://www.cosatalhomeinfo.com/ and is just unveiling their latest site http://www.coastalhomedeals.com/ this week. A most recent recipient of the prestigious 5 star customer satisfaction award, the integrity and service Jeff Cole and his team offer is uncompromised.

The Cole Group also has a new REO division representing several top financial institutions in their Real Estate Owned sales and is a terrific resource for tapping into the Bank owned property opportunities that are currently influencing the market.

Jeff Cole and his team are highly driven, trained and focused, though refreshingly have not forgotten who they work for or the importance of exemplary customer service. Cole further commented "If ever there was a time to invest in a quality agent to represent you in either the purchase or sale of real estate, it is now. I actually love to make my clients money and treat their investments as my own".

While other realtors and even some real estate companies are scaling back or closing their doors, the Cole Group is looking to expand. "I am always looking for good people, says Cole, in fact right now we are looking to bring on new agents".
