Today’s prices are higher than they were in 2007 around most areas of North San Diego’s coastal region, and the median sales prices in the quaint coastal towns of Cardiff, Carlsbad, and Encinitas have blown up!
But Rancho Santa Fe – facing too much competition from surrounding areas – is the only area that is still significantly behind its MSP from 2007:

Inflation has been low, but not zero. Since 2007, according to the BLS inflation calculator:
http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=100&year1=2007&year2=2016
prices are up about 14% since 2007.
Not far off of the price difference average of all areas in the table of 13%.
1-2% inflation is pretty awesome if you compound it for 10 or 20 years and have a 20% down, 4% fixed-rate mortgage.
No coffee from me. not this time.
