“I do not recommend that you buy right now, and in fact think it is one of the worst time ever to buy a home in San Diego”
I’m just going off the assumption that this couple has already decided to buy. If they truly feel like they have a handle on prices in that area (comps, actives that are discounted, foreclosures etc) and they are going to buy, my advice is to take advantage of the end of the year and try to drive home a huge discount.
