The May 2017 San Diego County Real Estate Report shows continued gains, despite the ongoing supply shortage and slowly increasing mortgage rates. Those rising interest rates paired with increasing values are making San Diego County homes less affordable. Trump’s proposed tax plan could decrease affordability even more by removing important deductions for homeowners.
Real Estate Report
Low inventory, fewer new listings, and healthy price increases are keeping the number of closed sales low compared to last April. But April still saw an upturn in the number of homes going under contract compared to the same month in 2016. The year-over median price in North County jumped by 9.7 percent. San Diego County’s median price rose by 6.4 percent.
