Unfortunately the 2007 credit crunch has taken its toll on many San Diego Homeowners. Foreclosures have broken records each month and the mounting debts for credit cards are rising rapidly as well. According to Mick Zentic of Windsor Capital, loan payment defaults are rising primarily because many California borrowers are experiencing a mortgage payment hike as the adjustable rate loans are starting to recast." Sub-prime and jumbo loan programs are tough to find and when consumers do qualify the mortgage rates have been higher. Most stated income loan programs have gone away and San Diego County has one of the highest percentages of self employed homeowners in the state, so it makes refinancing even tougher. The glimmer of hope is starting to burn brighter as new programs are beginning to be released as the Fed has finally begun to lower key interest rates.

San Diego Homes Sales Bump and Fall, but Interest Rates Helping
By Nick Rian

San Diego home prices almost sitting stagnant
And, home sales have turned down, even though mortgage rates have started to fall.

California Association of Realtors reported that the average sales price inched up from $605,600 at the end of the first quarter to a year high at $622,380. Third quarter prices started to dwindle down almost $25,000 to an August average sales price of $598,580.

"It is not the real estate implosion some pundits are touting; rather, it seems we are returning to a common sense market," says realtor Mike Murphy."The prior market where sellers could sell to the highest frantic bidder is gone. Pricing is now determined by the market, and what a willing and able buyer is willing to pay. That buyer, in turn, may compete with other buyers to determine an equitable sales price."

The year started slowly with sales more than 25% less than the previous month in 2005. Sales then skyrocketed in March, almost 555 higher than February. April showed a sales deficit, then May and June tried to push upward, but July crashed with an 18.4% shortage from the month before.

"The San Diego real estate market seems to have been in a stall for the last couple of quarters," says realtor Roberta Murphy. "Many buyers have been sitting on the sidelines, while sellers begin to realize that the top of the market appears to have occurred some months back. Both sides of the equation are now realizing that the market has shifted to one that favors buyers and that rewards sellers who understand market conditions and price their property accordingly."

Most economists predict home prices to continue to drop during 2006 and into 2007. But, a thriving economy and low unemployment might offset any financial hardship caused by the rising interest rate.
