I wish I understood economics better..and whether government intervention could change this course, but if one
reviews past housing bubbles…we are not at bottom at all.
Some have said that all areas are connected, therefore, no area of SD has hit bottom. Too many homes, overbuilt areas and no one to afford them and I personally do not think the majority of median households have $80K for a downpayment.
It would appear homes could fall another 20% within the next 12 months, as the credit crunch will worsen through 2008.
Does anyone know if there anything the government could do to stop the trend and artificially prop up the prices? It would seem not since the economy is floundering …and now the reports from Washington are no longer “we are watching this…” but rather a “deepening” recession.
A homebuyer who doesn’t care if their money appreciates could buy and hold a home now. But because of the taxes and additional costs, it would probably end up being less than a break even investment –through 2015 (in most areas).
But I am thinking only intuitively, trying to assimulate all the info.There are resets still ahead. This was just the first year and look at the collapse.
This 1955 built ranch 1500 sf (fixer) on 1/2 acre in Bonita…which was on SDLookup for about 5 days, now “sold.” MLS 081024951
4248 Acacia Ave
Bonita, CA 91902
Status: Sale Pending
Price: $349,900I wonder if this home went for that price…

Rent has gone up in 4s/del sur/santaluz. I am probably paying one of the lowest rents in my neighborhood and I say that only bc I constantly monitor craigslist for rentals. My landlord just renewed our lease at the same price, while smaller homes in our development were asking more a week ago. I have seen some very high numbers and I think its the people in trouble trying to get rents equal to what their loans have teased up to.
Im paying 400 a month more than a buddy who just locked into Bridgeport in 4s for a townhome and Im in a SFH with 4 bed/3 bath.

There I go again missed the 10% My bad. I don’t think 10% percent should phase anyone smart or conservative. I personally play it ,would play it, so far below the standard metrics as far as risk goes That 30-40% wouldn’t do much to me. This is a matter of frugality more than wealth(no e-balling).April 9, 2008 at 10:30 AM #183566NotCrankyParticipantBUGs
