Other news on the real estate market in San Diego? The market is holding strong and despite the availability of money or financing not being what it was just a few months ago there are still many loan programs available. The market will hold it’s own, we are dealing with many investors that are buying up a lot of inventory because this is the time to buy! We are also working with a lot of first time home buyers that were priced out of the market the last few years. If you have been sitting on the fence get off that fence ASAP because there are deals out there and they wont last very much longer. The market will come back because it always does!!!

An increase in Foreclosure activity in any market also results in increased activity for Real Estate Auction companies.  Let me clarify a key point that seems to be causing some confusion.  When I refer to “Real Estate Auction” I am not talking about the Trustee Sale that occurs when a lender takes title to property because the property was lost to foreclosure.  The Trustee Sale is a totally different type of auction and one that i will write a different article on at future date.

What I am referring to is the Auctions that we now see being advertised heavily on television and newspapers.  These auctions are offering single family homes and condos at what appears to be substantial price reductions. 

These auctions are as a result of the current property being a bank owned listing that has been on the market longer then expected and the bank needs to sell it ASAP. The interesting thing is that these properties have already been available to the public for sale and as a result of them not selling they give the auction company the right to sell them and it creates a big frenzy and many people feel like they are really getting a great deal and sometimes they are but many times the property ends up selling above what it was being previously listed for.

Auctions are not a bad way of buying real estate foreclosures but you will find that you don’t find the true investors buying a large % pf their portfolio at the auctions. You will have a much better chance of getting a good deal on real estate buy doing your own homework and looking to purchase foreclosures prior to them going to auction. Contact me for additional information about buying bank owned real estate in San Diego County.

Please feel free to read our article recently written about different ways to purchase foreclosures. You should also call a local real estate expert in your area that can help you find the foreclosure you arelooking for. We have all the San Diego Foreclosure Information you need if you are looking in the San Diego area.

De manera recurrente escucho esa pregunta: Puedo comprar lo que me gusta pero mas barato? Cuando será ese momento? No existe una respuesta absoluta. Los expertos en el manejo de fondos de inversión tampoco encuentran respuesta absoluta cuando se trata de comprar una acción al precio mas barato y/o venderla al precio más caro.

El costo de oportunidad se integra por diversas variables, de su evaluación como un todo se puede identificar ese momento; pasar del deseo a la acción, de la planeación a la ejecución. Es una decisión personal, un proyecto y visión particular.

Veamos variables financieras:
A) Una propiedad de $ 100,000 a una tasa del 6.0% a 30 años. B) Precio de $ 95,000 y una tasa del 6.25%.C) Precio de $ 92,000 al 6.25%, estas serian las cifras:
A) $ 100,000 al 6% los pagos mensuales serian de $ 599.55 - $ 215,838.19 por pagarse de capital e interés –
B) $ 95,000 al 6.25% los pagos mensuales serian de $ 584.93 - $ 210, 575.28 de capital e interés -
C) $ 92,000 al 6.75% los pagos mensuales de $ 596.71 - $ 214,815.69 por pagarse en la vida del crédito –

No es garantía alinear precio bajo y tasa baja. En este caso conviene B que no es lo mas barato ni en precio ni en tasa, mas en conjunto representa la mejor oportunidad de compra financieramente hablando.

Veamos variables cualitativas:
A) Queremos esquina
B) Queremos casa de un piso
C) Queremos vista
D) Queremos una zona reconocida como deseable
A) El porcentaje de casas en esquina es tan limitado como el hecho de que en cada cuadra hay solo 4 esquinas.
B) En San Diego no más del 5% de las casas construidas son de un piso. Cada vez hay mas densidad por tanto menos casas de un piso.
C) En un desarrollo cualquiera, las propiedades con vista son limitadas.
D) Aun cuando el mercado haya girado a favor del comprador, existen áreas donde las casas en venta solo se tardan más en vender pero los precios no tienen una reducción considerable o equiparable a los promedios de las zonas con propiedades reposeídas.

Si pensamos que las propiedades bajaran más en los próximos meses o años, que los intereses seguirán bajando y los inventarios seguirán creciendo, quizá estamos dejando pasar buenas oportunidades de inversión.
Me atrevo a compartir mi sentir: Las acciones que tomen Gobierno – Federal y Local -, Desarrolladores, Bancos, Inversionistas y Compradores en su conjunto evitaran que en el futuro se presente de nuevo algo similar. A finales de los 80’s inicios de 90’s hubo una crisis a partir del sobre inventario de producto terminado - Los Desarrolladores no podían venderlo -. La práctica era construir el complejo y promover su venta una vez completado. Hoy se construyen en etapas o fases de no más de 8 a 12 unidades. Resultado: Ya no tienen sobre inventario excepto desarrollos verticales.

Volverán los Bancos e Inversionistas a prestar hasta el 100% del valor de una propiedad? Volverán a prestar a quienes no demuestren capacidad de pago? Dejará San Diego de ser una ciudad con atributos y clima capaz de atraer a nacionales y extranjeros? Location, Location , Location; San Diego lo tiene. Recuerda que a ti como comprador no te cuesta tener una representación legal, ya que en Estados Unidos el vendedor es quien paga la comisión de tu agente. Permíteme ayudarte a diseñar un traje a tu medida. No te aventures a comprar sin un guía profesional que defienda tu interés.

San Diego Real Estate Update

What is the real estate market like in San Diego compared to the rest of the country? If you want to sell your home this may not be the best time to do so, but if you are looking to purchase a home in San Diego there couldn’t be a better time to take advantage of a market that has been a roaring beast over the last 10 years.

San Diego is experiencing a slow down just like the rest of the country is experiencing but it still remains a much stronger real estate market compared to others. When you compare the other real estate markets to San Diego you will find that San Diego remains much stronger compared to others because employment remains strong in the county. When I look at San Diego I think of these different things that are a big part of the economy.

1. The Military – You can’t think about San Diego and not think about the military, the Navy, Marines both have a very large presence in San Diego County at several different bases.

2. Tourism – San Diego is a huge tourist attraction for people seeking some beach and sunshine!

3. College School System – We have San Diego State, UCSD, USD, Cal State San Marcos among others where thousands of kids escape to San Diego to get away from their parents which brings thousands and thousands of kids to San Diego economy.

4. Bio-tech / Pharmaceutical Business – Many people don’t realize how much research and development is done in San Diego.

These are just some of the different industry’s that bring a tremendous amount of revenue to San Diego’s economy. The reason I bring this up is to show you that San Diego has different industry’s that continue to keep the economy strong. If you really want to own a home in San Diego then take advantage of this market and purchase something. I don’t expect to see home values stay flat for much longer then the remainder of 2008 and many markets in San Diego are still appreciating and slowing going up in value.

You may also want to consider purchasing a foreclosure and we can help you with that. We work with many different banks and have many different foreclosures for sale in San Diego. Please visit our foreclosures for sale section to view the entire inventory of foreclosures for sale in San Diego County.

Carlos Aguilar is a licensed realtor in San Diego. He has been licensed since 1972 and is an expert in Residential real estate in San Diego county. In addition to residential real estate, he is an expert in Commercial Lending for income property.

What are you waiting for? There is not a better time then right now. Spending as much time out in the market as we do, you can quickly see that it has become a buyers market. Over the last few years the real estate market has been very strong and it has allowed homeowners to capitalize on their gain in value. It was not long ago when all you needed to do was put a for sale sign up in front of your home and you would have it sold in a few weeks if not sooner. This made many real estate agents think that it was easy to make money selling real estate.

With the real estate market in San Diego and most of the country taking a downward turn, it is now time for buyers to start calling the shots!!! Homes for sale may only receive 1 or 2 offers and sellers will be much more likely to accept your offer. With the market being much more attractive for buyers, you need to take advantage. The question you may ask is what do I purchase and where? Well, purchasing real estate can be fairly difficult and knowing what the best market to purchase in may be difficult.

Some of the markets in San Diego that are strong and will continue to remain strong are the Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Downtown areas of San Diego County. Many of the areas that have prices in the lower range which would be considered suitable for 1st time home buyers will also be very attractive and a strong area to purchase in.

What we will do here at Team Aguilar is look at what your needs are and find out what makes the most sense for you. If you are buying your fist home you will have different needs then if you were looking to purchase for investment.

Whatever your needs may be, the key is to get in the real estate game and purchase some real estate. This is the time and may be your best opportunity to do this.

Also, please consider some of the Bank Owned real estate that we have for sale in San Diego. We work with many different banks and have access to Bank Owned real estate for sale in many different markets. Please make sure you consider this option before purchasing anything.
