Sales and Price Check
San Diego Home-Price Trend
Where do home prices go from here? Hopefully, it will be more predictable than it has been lately! The Fed's insistence on raising rates just to see if they can tank the economy should keep a ceiling in place. The buyer pool is already limited to only those who can...
