California real estate forecast
California real estate forecast

General real estate market observations imply that the market should see continued price stabilization or edge up in the foreseeable future, yet there is still a lot of uncertainty about the rest of this year. For one thing, it remains to be seen how the housing market will sustain itself now that the federal Homebuyer Tax Credits have ended.

California has their own home buyer tax credit of $10,000, but many believe it will be over-subscribed within a few weeks.  For further information on the California home buyer tax credits the link is: https://brokerforyou.com/brokerforyou/california-homebuyer-tax-credit-monies-may-run-out-fast.html

Tax credits aside, there are long-standing concerns about a coming second wave of foreclosures and how it will impact housing market values. Plus, the Greece credit woes may translate into our own tighter home mortgage requirements. Plus, in San Diego, we have the just announced Nasco shipyard layoffs of 900 workers in July to deal with.

Recent changes to the HAMP loan modification program, including principal forgiveness, and similar changes to the loan modification programs of major banks, along with growing evidence that the California market has shown improvement in recent months, seems to indicate the housing market will experience a double dip … a slight possibility that cannot be discounted.
