#1 Question Asked About San Diego California Real Estate

For San Diego, the summer of 2005 was the peak in the real estate bubble. Now almost 2 1/2 years into the steady deterioration of San Diego home values, the predominant question asked by most potential home buyers is: “Has the San Diego real estate market bottomed out, or when do you think the bottom will be in place?”

Obviously, no one can accurately predict when any market, especially the San Diego real estate market, will bottom and reverse course, except in hindsight. California real estate agents and brokers are continually advised not to give legal advice or financial planning advice. Perhaps, they should also be advised not to give economic forecast or predictions on market trends. I believe not giving this type of advice is implied by California law. *To view the full post, please visit the San Diego real estate blog at:

Countrywide Forclosures Double

Countrywide Financial Corporation foreclosure rates in January 2008 doubled!. The rates of its 9.02 million mortgages rose to 1.48% from the January 2007 rate of 0.77% .

To me it looks like 2008 may mark the top in foreclosures and at the same time, build a base in San Diego California housing values. But, I do not foresee a big bounce-back in home values. This will take some years to put in a solid base in values. To view the full post, please visit, San Diego real estate blog
