Bldg permits increase for San Diego County homes.

Finally the County has decided to issue house permits!! About time. San Diego county permits rose to their highest level in two years. This leads us to conclude that builders are going to create jobs and the economy is inching its way forward in a positive direction. Nevertheless, we are not out of the woods yet. This is still the second worst year for building permits (last year being the worst). San Diego median price hit a low in March 2009 ($326,830) and prices are now 21.7 percent higher than that low, still far off its peak of $622,380 in May 2006.

Summer is off to a great start

June has been a very successful month in terms of closings. Prices have responded to a change in marketplace. Average sales price were high and interest rates are still at a low...a 50 year low and that is encouraging the prices to hold. New opened business dipped in June. We are anticipating inventory levels to increase as short sale inventory builds up. Sellers will need to be educated to remain competitive.
