Today I just wanted to talk about where our market is halfway through 2015. We're seeing an appreciation rate of about 4-5%, which is a very healthy and sustainable rate of appreciation.

Inventory is also starting to enlarge. There are 7,200 homes available in San Diego County, which is a historically low number, but the market is beginning to balance for buyers and sellers.

If you're thinking of buying, you'll be happy to hear that interest rates are still very low (right around 4%). You can save thousands of dollars in interest payments over the life of your loan. Renting is increasingly becoming more expensive, so if you can afford to buy, I would do so now.

The good news is that new construction is up nearly 70%, which should help alleviate the demand that we're seeing from buyers.

The biggest expectation I have for this year is for inventory to continue rising. If you want to buy, you'll probably see a lot less competition right now than you will in the future.

If you need any help buying or selling in San Diego, please don't hesitate to contact me!

testimonials from happy clients

Gary - "I was going to co-own a property but I was a little nervous about making the down payment because that was much more than I had in fluid cash. I told Max that I had a condo in North Park and he told me that it would sell in 10 days and he sold it in a weekend. It was just his knowledge of the market and patience that helped everything go along. He steered us in the right direction and looked out for our interests even though we didn’t realized that’s what he was doing."

Loydene - "My original plan was to list my house in April, sell it in June, and move in July. What actually happened was that we sold it immediately and had to move sooner than expected, which was a good thing! Before Max even listed it, he had gone out and scouted some people that he thought might be interested in buying it. I’ve sold several houses in my life and this transaction definitely went the smoothest. I truly felt I could call him at all hours and he was very responsive to me."

What our happy San Diego clients have to say

"Max is a top-notch agent. You cannot go wrong working with him to sell or buy a home. He has an outstanding marketing campaign that works to sell homes quickly, and has very good negotiating skills that deliver. The best quality about Max is that he truly cares about his clients. He's easy to work with and other agents really enjoy working with him, too. Max makes the escow process smooth. I would definitely recommend Max to my family and friends."

"Before choosing Max as my listing agent, I interviewed several agents. Max was prompt to the initial interview, honest, not pushy, and seemed relaxed and willing to provide his knowledge about the current real esate market. After choosing Max as my listing agent, he was quick to have a person over at my place to help stage my home, had a professional photographer take great pictures, and had my home on the MLS expeditiously. During the offer process, Max offered his advice but always let me make the final decision without making me feel awkward. He is tech savvy and I was able to complete most of the transaction electronically. He has a full-time assistant who is prompt and willing to help when need be. The escrow process was very smooth and Max kept in close communication throughout the entire process. At the end, Max was able to take my property from initial listing to complete sale within two months! Thanks Max for helping make the sale of my home a smooth process!"
