You can cross check this with JTR’s blog as he has similar data. For buyers I recommend you sit out for awhile or if you are going to go in, go in very strong and go in early. Forget about trying to get a deal, forget about trying to negotiate with counter offers because if your offer is not strong, you probably will not get a counter at all.
At some point prices will level off but right now the restricted supply has drastically altered market dynamics in these areas, (and probably many others)[/quote]
JTR had a post yesterday of CV heading for +20%.. Is that fairly close to what you are seeing also? I think the house on the post yesterday is either on Torrey Hills area or Carmel Country Highlands. South of 56, 4+ bedroom with one bedroom down stair.
If this is true, you will not be underwater if you bought it in 2011, 2012 time frame.
