San Diego, CA.  Market trends for Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, La Jolla, and Coronado.

Midway through July of 2010 and thought we would look at luxury real estate markets in San Diego.  Data is provided by Altos Research and is for active inventory for single family detached homes.  The brightest statistics seems to be a drop in days on the market while inventory increases.  You can sign up for weekly reports e-mail directly to you or visit all our Altos Reports for the week of July 19, 2010 by clicking here.

Back in January I wrote a blog post regarding market predictions. Pardon for quoting myself….

I have been reading a lot of posts on predictions for the 2009 real estate market in San Diego. As usual, there are many opinions out there, some of them are optimistic, some funny, some neutral, and some just doom and gloom. Everyone appears to be an expert with their own spin and logic to what clearly has been a huge reset of our markets.

The truth of the matter is no one really knows when the bottom will hit (or has hit) in San Diego. If they have this ability to see so clearly into the future, then I would suggest they might want to spend their time buying Lotto tickets – the payoff would be much better. Market bottoms can be clearly identified months after they have occurred by the reviewing of sales data and median prices by real estate experts.

All markets have opportunity depending on your circumstances. I would caution anyone looking to jump into the real estate market today to educate them self and buy the best of the market.  Using the principle of substition, working with a qualified REALTOR®, and taking your time is your best bet for making a great investment you will be proud of years from now.
