New homes coming on the market are up about 4%, which is great for buyers but still lower than we would like.2. Homes entering escrow are about the same—again, everything sells in San Diego.3. Home prices have increased 6% - 8% depending on where you live in San Diego County, which is exactly what I said a year ago. And for you renters, if you were looking to buy a $500,000 house last year and decided to wait, you just lost $40,000 in equity. “Stop waiting to buy—there is notgoing to be any major crash.” 4. Total homes for sale is down about 2%—inventory is continuing to shrink and the number of days a home is on the market is continuing to shrink as well. This is great for sellers, but tough on buyers, but if you have a good agent/broker who can package your offer correctly, you will get a house.5. Most activity seems to be with the move-up sellers and buyers—lots of activity for smaller homes/condos/townhomes and less competition for more expensive property.So don’t waste any more time—move up.
