[quote=jstoesz]Imported retirees bring in new money which skews the data.[/quote]
Unless they are very wealthy retirees, who typically seek out coastal (read: beach), or golf course properties (read: Palm Sprs) in CA, we don’t get many “imported” retirees here, jstoesz. A retiree from your hometown of “55419” typically can’t afford to retire here if they have lived in “55419” all of their lives!
And, I can assure you that if my “wealthy” relatives from “7****” got a wild hair up their a$$ someday and decided to shop in SD County for a “retirement” or “vacation” home, they WOULD NOT be shopping in 92111 or 92117!!
The vast majority of SD County’s “retirees” have lived in coastal CA all or nearly all of their adult lives. Many, many are natives.
