A very dear client called me to help sell a house in San Diego. After talking about the property, I learned that he was facing a delay due to title issues. His attorneys were working to get it cleared up. I suggested that we wait to put it on the market, until he was actually able to close escrow. But the client decided that he really wanted it to be on the market, and perhaps a buyer would want to rent before closing escrow. Not a good idea, I thought. Renting to a buyer prior to close of escrow is usually a recipe for disaster. But the client wanted to get it on the market to "test the waters."

This is a great house, near downtown San Diego. It is on a low traffic street and has a large back yard. From the yard you can see the Coronado Bridge and watch sunsets over the ocean. Inside is clean and move-in ready.

Through April we had several very strong offers. Unfortunately none of those buyers would wait until the Seller cleared up the title questions. Now the Seller says sell now! So my recommendation? Drop the price to get offers! Now priced at $229,000, down from the original list price of $300,000! This is a great deal for some lucky San Diego home buyer.

Standard & Poor's Case Shiller Index was just released for April. It shows San Diego houses have increased in value for each of the past 12 consecutive months, through April 30.  The index is always two months behind, so that's their most recent report. So today's big news in San Diego real estate isn't really such big news.  We've been talking about it for the past year. 

San Diego homes were second to San Franciso in terms of appreciation.  San Francisco showed a 12-month increase of 18 percent.  San Diego was 11.7 percent.  Minneapolis 9.5 percent.  Cleveland 6.8%.  Eleven of the twenty major metro areas in the US are now up for the year ending April, and nine are still down.  The largest drop during that twelve month period was Las Vegas. Still falling.

I reviewed the house price index methodology and talk about it on my San Diego real estate blog.  I really can't find any fault with the methodology.  It's the same methodology used by the fedreal government for many real estate market studies.  They compare prices of resale homes that have the same general characteristics.  They attempt to exclude properties that have been improved or renovated since the last sale, and they exclude properties that have been flipped by investors.  And only arm's-length transactions are considered, so houses that are transferred between family members are also excluded.

Of the twenty metropolitan areas tracked in the index, all twenty showed price increases between the March and April index.  This could easily have been a runup related to the $8,000 tax credit.  But San Diego is the only city that has posted increases in each of the past twelve months.  Hard to believe that that's solely related to the tax credit.

No, I really think that there is sufficient demand for san diego homes to support prices at their current levels. This is particularly true at the entry level, though there's still going to be some downward pressure at the top end.  I wouldn't, however, count on 11.7percent a year, and the appreciation rate will probably even drop by the end of the year.  Something in the 4 to 6 percent range is much more likely.
