La Costa Oaks Stunner – Pending!
Now that buyers are being more cautious, we've seen how important it is now for sellers to spruce up their home and list for an attractive price. A third component is to not think that there are two in the bush that are going to offer hundreds of thousands over the...
Village Park Testimonial
Thank you Natalie for correcting me on yesterday's blog post - the second half of 2022 is well under way! Sales won't drop to zero over the next five months because people need to buy and sell, and hopefully all will be more diligent about the process and who they...
The Transition
We are into the second half of 2022. Where do we go from here? Things we can expect: Sales are dropping and will likely be lower for 1-3 years. Mortgage rates aren't going back to 3%.....but they might hang around in the 4s. Until the capital-gains tax is drastically...

NSDCC July Listings
Last week, we saw here how the number of July sales has been plummeting, and with three days to go in the month, we are now at 119 NSDCC sales - which means we will end up with around 40% to 50% of last year's July sales. We also hear about how inventory is rapidly...
San Diego Case-Shiller Index, May
Last month I guessed we’ll be 400+ at the end of the year, or about the same as February. If our local Case-Shiller Index drops 0.5% per month for the next seven readings, we'd still be in positive territory for 2022. We haven't had a negative MoM reading since...
