Dear SD Realtor
Thanks for posting. Great info!
I have noticed the same thing. The great property is very difficult to find and it sells very quickly too. I found two good looking houses [with good location] in 92129, but they went to escrow right away in past few months. I have been trying to convince my wife to wait for another year or so for a past few months because existing houses are still very expensive and also not mnay good looking houses avaialale yet.

Millions Are Facing Monthly Squeeze On House Payments
By James R. Hagerty
Word Count: 1,556 | Companies Featured in This Article: Wells FargoMillions of Americans who stretched themselves financially to buy homes face a painful adjustment — some could even lose their houses — as monthly payments on adjustable-rate mortgages are reset higher.
In the hot housing market of recent years, many households took advantage of “affordability” mortgage loans — heavily promoted by lenders — that hold down payments for an initial period. Now the initial periods are coming to an end on many of these loans, leaving borrowers to face resets of their interest rates that can cause monthly payments to shoot up between 10% and 50%.

fromnjParticipantHi Navydoc
I have been watching the market in 92127, 92129 zip codes for about past 6 months, and the inventory increased quite a lot, but failed to see any significant price reduction yet. I am still wondering when I can actually see the real price reduction (20-40%) that many people are talking about in this blog. I want to see 40% price reduction personally, but it looks like very unrealistic in short term.
I agree that there are too many million dollar homes, and they do not look like a million dollar home at all.

fromnjParticipantThanks HLS
Regarding the fees, I need to ask my wife. I have no clue.
Anyway, we are planning to buy a house by next spring or so. I told my wife the other day if she can wait for another year and she did not like the idea at all. So, we are currently investigating the plan.
We will definitely contact you when we decide our action, but please give us some more time.
