According to various economic and real estate pundits, we’ve hit bottom and are on our way back up! 

At a recent conference hosted by NSDCAR (North San Diego County Association of Realtors), John Tuccillo, a former Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors, George Chamberlin, Executive Director of The Daily Transcript, and several other renowned experts, all seemed to agree – we hit bottom sometime around March of 2009.  This graph from statistics gathered by NSDCAR shows the median prices starting to rise again after a steady two-year decline. 

 

Median Prices

Of course, each niche varies and has its own specific statistics – some markets are still declining and some are going gangbusters – but overall, there is light at the end of this long dark tunnel!

With rates still at historic lows (roughly 5% with no points for a 30 yr fixed conforming loan!!), PLUS tax incentives, PLUS prices still low but drifting upwards, this is a great time to buy!  As one of my colleagues put it, “if you don’t buy now, you’re either broke or stupid!”  Kind of mean, but true!
