The June 2017 San Diego County Real Estate Report still shows a hot market with fast moving sales and a serious lack of inventory. But this cannot go on forever. Real estate markets are cyclical. Some parts of the country are already showing a slowdown in appreciation rates as reported by CNBC.
The anticipated rate hike by the Federal Reserve will most likely put downward pressure on the market. It will not only make it more difficult for buyers to borrow for their home purchase, but it will also push up the cost of consumers’ existing revolving debt and adjustable rate mortgages.
Real Estate Report
Our market isn’t showing a slowdown yet, but that may come as was predicted by Clear Capital back in January. Year over median sales prices increased by 8.0 percent countywide and 8.7 percent in North County. The number of closed sales did drop in both markets, but that was accompanied by gains in pending sales and a continued tightening of supply.
