The February 2018 San Diego Housing Market Report shows January as a fairly quiet month. This is expected after the holidays. That being said, we still saw continued price increases and tight inventory in San Diego and North County. In fact, San Diego ranked sixth on the hottest U.S. markets list from realtor.com®.
Change may be coming though. Interest rates are increasing. These higher rates will decrease buyer’s purchasing power. Tax law changes now limit property tax deductions. With these changes, experts expect price increases to continue, but at a slower pace. They also see more inventory coming on the market by the end of the year.
Real Estate Report
Median sales prices saw a 2.6 percent year-over increase in North County and a 5.0 percent increase countywide in January. Inventory was down to a very low, 1.4 months’ supply in both markets.
