The current number of homes lost in SD County is something like 1100, and hopefully the final total won’t be much more than that if at all. That is going to be, what, 3000 or so folks displaced? How many tens of thousands of homes are on the market in SD County? Those numbers are a drop in the bucket, particularly when you consider the fact that most of those burned out will choose to rebuild.
I can see there being an impact on the short-term rental market, but won’t FEMA provide trailers for those burned out?
Really, the main impact here is that after two rounds of disastrous wildfires in a four year period, it will be harder to sell properties in areas that are more fire prone.
