Will Prices Go Down in San Diego
While I do not have a crystal ball, experts agree home prices are a reflection of inventory and demand. As mortgage rates continue to fluxuate, demand has cooled off which leads me to believe we will start to see a flattening out of home prices in San Diego over the next few months. There is nothing to indicate a significant drop in home prices in the next 6 months. However, you can still find some affordable homes if you are willing to look in East County or South County.
