Home prices are up 1.4% in San Diego ~ What’s a Buyer to do?

by on June 27, 2012

The last Tuesday of every month S&P/Case-Shiller home price index comes out.   It was the headline in today’s U-T Business section.  If you are a buyer this should not be a surprise to you.   The information is about 2 months old.    If you are shopping for a home you already know inventory is way down over 50% in most areas of San Diego.

If you are Buyer in this market what should you do?

* First of all you need to be fully approved for a loan.  – Seriously, FULL Approval

* Tour homes as soon as they come on the market, don’t wait for the weekend.  Homes priced right are selling very fast.

* Write an offer expecting to be up against 4 or 5 other offers.  Make your offer standout above the crowd.

* Be patient expect it is going to take a while to find the right home for you.  Buying home is a big decision don’t rush it.  Prices are not expected to rise as quickly as in the past.
