Interesting–er, but not really too surprising, especially for those who have lived here for quite awhile.
Regarding the 20-24 age bracket and beyond, this stat reflects a trend we’ve been seeing for quite awhile also, since we, and lots of people we know have been buying real estate here for years, not only as investment properties, but for our kids and other family members.
Unless I missed it, the article didn’t distinguish between condos, SFH’s, or zip codes, so I’m guessing the stats are countywide, and include both condos and SFH’s.
Overall, perhaps another indication of an increasingly tight market, and ever-escalating pricing the majority of young people, and future buyers in general may face in San Diego in years to come.
