2009 Housing Market Review

2009 Year in Review

What a difference a year makes. As poor as the housing market was in January 2009, a year of aggressive subsidies and sluggish economic improvement has produced a tentative optimism in January 2010.

The first-time homebuyer tax credit was extended and revised in 2009 to include some qualifying move-up buyers, and housing sales in the conforming loan range began to soar in most areas of the country by May 2009.

Downtown San Diego Quiet Zone Update

Downtown San Diego Quiet ZoneAttention Sleep Deprived Citizens of Downtown San Diego!

UPDATE
SD Quiet Zone Project Bid Opening 2/25/10
Location: City of SD Purchasing & Contracts Dept
Time: 2:00 p.m.
Contact: Scott Johnson, johnson@ccdc.com

Original post April 9 2009 - It appears that the sale of ear plugs, sleeping pills and noise reducing devices might be on the decline SOON. The word at a meeting of the “people who know” confirmed that we are 99.9% on line to have the Downtown San Diego Quiet Zone become a reality.

The Downtown San Diego Quiet Zone will be the largest (with 13 at-grade rail crossings) quiet zone in the United States. Not only is the physical area it encompasses large, but it required 6 different railway users (Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway BNSF, San Diego Trolley, San Diego Imperial Valley Railway SDIV, North County Transit District NCTD, COASTER, Amtrak). It is nothing short of a small miracle that the residents of downtown who have been living with the horns waking them for years are still.

Own a Piece of Paradise

Local home prices on the upswing

The San Diego Union Tribune’s Roger Showley reported January 26th in the financial/business section that San Diego home prices are on the rise. In fact, we are one of the top 4 major metro areas for appreciation from 2000-2009. While not completely out of harm’s way, the market is showing more signs of strength than weakness and some light at the end of the tunnel.

Over the past 3 years, my business partner in Scott~Finn & Associates, Francine Finn and I have heard the phrase

“I’m not going to buy right now, I’m waiting for the bottom.”

Well, folks, wait no more. We’re there and already starting to climb out. Besides today’s article testifying to the improvements in San Diego, there were several articles last week to reinforce the facts. San Diego is more affordable than ever. But, not for long. This is still “America’s Finest City” with incredible year-round weather, great attractions, natural beauty and a revitalized downtown that has attracted world-wide attention.
