For June ’06, the median home price in San Diego fell for the first time in nearly a decade and sales tumbled in Los Angeles County, according to just released real estate figures.
The median price of all homes sold in San Diego last month fell 1% from the same month last year to $488,000, according to DataQuick Information Systems.
The importance of this, is that the traditionally strongest real estate marketing time is from May through August. For a price drop to occur now,
can only be a harbinger of a much more pronounced drop as we enter into Fall/Winter.

I’m not selling my San Diego home, but have sold all my investment properties.
If one considers the BILLIONS in adjustable loans due for their first adjustment in 2007/8 combined with the huge percentage of 100%loans used to purchase at the height of our market….you have to worry!

But, than again what is so bad about a 20-30% decline in values if we are coming off 100% increase over the last five years?
I’ll answer my own question….nothing so bad as long as you were not speculating, purchased beyond your means or refinanced you property at 90% or more of its high value.

The San Francisco real estate market is also way off. Thinks certainly look like they are going to be very bad for CA real estate investors.
I remember in 2005 that It seems every month the paper reported that real estate sales were down by double digits though the values seem to be holding up. You would think an intelligent person would realize sales cannot drop by such a magnitude without values following.

There was so much speculation in the San Diego real estate market, what we’re seeing now seemed inevitable.
