I can give about 10 good reasons on why buying San Diego this year may not be the optimum time:
1- Interest rates will eventually rise
2- Massive foreclosures flooding the market over the next 24 months
3- Federal stimulus is ending (though it could be extended)
4- Unemployment at 10% (In reality this is most likely closer to 17%) and rising
5- Pay cuts to those who are working
6- Next to impossible to get a loan without 20% down – who has that kind of cash laying around these days
7- Banks are still holding a massive amount of mortgage backed securities on their books
8- 23% of all homeowners are upside down on their homes right now
9- When inflation takes hold, the cost of gas, groceries, energy bills, and other daily expenses will go through the roof. People will have less money to spend on housing.
10- Commercial real-estate is starting to collapse which will be a double whammy to the residential market.
I don’t think it’s a good idea anywhere right now. Maybe in the boonies like the plain states and midwest. But I mean, every one wants to live where the weather is nice and not so destructive.. like New Jersey!

It may not be the time to buy in San Diego, but it always is a great time to visit and take a vacation in San Diego! The weather for houses may not be looking up, but the weather sure is!
