September 24, 2017 is the 12th anniversary of this blog! For a little perspective on where we’ve been, here is my most-watched YouTube.
This house originally sold for $927,500 when new in 2005.
I sold it for $485,000 in April, 2009 which was the low point of the San Diego market, as judged by our Case-Shiller Index. This year there have been sales on the street in the mid-$800,000s!
Thanks for being here all these years!
I bet those buyers loved you in 2005. But in 2009, they were probably jabbing you with a pitchfork. Unless of course the lender ate the loss in a short-sale.
Comment another 25 years….GL
What a long strange trip it’s been.
Looked at my posts from July 2004 when I started. Now all I want is shrimp and maybe some fancy coffee. Admit it. That bet was far closer than you ever suspected.
Thanks Jim for providing 12 years of insight, trends, and knowledge. I’ve been a fan for about 10 yrs.

Yes, and thankfully I had some nebulous price measuring and crooked bankers on my side! The jumbo shrimp were in February, 2009 – who would have thought then that prices would have gone straight up since!
