San Diego homeSan Diego home values could finally stabilize in 2009. With a huge inventory of available homes and buyers actually having to qualify for a mortgage, there is a better than 50/50 chance the San Diego housing recovery won't occur in 2009 and maybe not in 2010.   

 

 

 

 

 

Most people are totally stressed-out financially and the next crisis coming is credit cards.  Go to any FOOD store and people are buying with credit cards.  Banks are about to slam that door shut and then people are in trouble.  Not to mention unemployment.  It will easily reach a reported 9% (government reports are always wrong). In reality it will be closer to 20% when you count the shortened hours and part time workers along with those who have just given up.  Most people will have a difficult time being a QUALIFIED buyer.  They will have limited down payments and their credit and income will be tight. 

 

 

 

 

 

Many loan reps are encouraging more bad loans by pushing FHA 97% home loans with their heavy mortgage insurance.  With the dropping prices and 97% FHA loans, unless there is a big change, many current  San Diego home buyers will be in the upside down position and forced to stay in that home with negative or little equity for a long time. 

 

 

 

 

 

Is the Government soon going to be forced to bailout the FHA? A year ago, this would be considered absurd. However, recall: IndyMac, AIG, FannieMae, FreddieMac, Washington Mutual, Downey Savings …

 

 Top this off with the fact that in 2009 we will see more "regular' adjustable home loans come up for their first adjustament than all the subprime loans of the past two years. With today's lower rates it may not be the 'rate shock' that is the problem, but the fact that many homeowners will, for the first time ,realize that their San Diego home is worth tens of thousands less than their loan balance.
