What area of SD are you looking in? I am looking for 4-5BR in Carmel Valley.

I’m looking (more, perusing, since I’m relatively happy in my current rental) at 3-4 bedrooms in Rancho Penasquitos. It has occurred to me that the recent fires may have upped the demand for rentals, but from the anecdotal comments and other info in this thread it seems bigger than that.

I question the increase in demand from bailing homeowners, though, since those houses are still part of the overall supply.

From looking at Craig’s List and and Rentometer, it looks to me like rents are actually rising in San Diego. At least the areas in which I am interested. The article above mentions that the occupancy rate in San Diego is one of the few that is still high, so perhaps my (somewhat unscientific) scanning of rental opportunities is accurate.

Does anyone see signs of falling rents here?

Let’s say the government decides to give everyone $500 back or even $1000 back. What in the world will this due? People will:

1. Go buy a plasma and be in the same situation they were before.
2. Pay down their $%50,000 credit card balance by $1000. Still in the same situation before.
3. People like me that will stick the $1000 into a little hole like a squirrel and still not spend or buy a house.

Given the reliance of the US economy on consumption, I think the goal is unabashedly option #1. The LAST thing this economy really needs is for people to save instead of buy stuff, or just pay down a credit card. Remember the calls to action for people to go out and buy stuff or the terrorists win?

I’m with you, radelow; we’ll put in in the bank in our down payment fund so we can buy when the market bottoms out… or at least eat for an extra month when I get laid off from the coming recession.

Esmith, this is great data. I also really appreciate your earlier graph showing the overlay between your implementation and the official case-shiller data. I’m a scientist, so I appreciate a nice graph, and confirmatory comparisons. This is really helpful!

Now, if your yellow line would just keep dropping….
