At the risk of ducking soupbones from y’all, San Diego has have yet to see REAL PRICE DROPS on SFR resale homes! These Median prices INCREASED 3.7% in May. So–o-oo, my net worth increased by only $185,000 in May (x!@#gd!!).
Hopefully the fact that MAY UNITS SOLD dropped by 30% from near record highs of last year is only part of the statistical return to selective buying opportunities which may take six years to bottom out. Please check out WhatHousingBubble.com
