2. The residential real estate market has swung from the seller’s market of three years ago when home prices were increasing as much as 20 to 30 percent per year to the buyer’s market today where prices have decreased and there’s an abundant inventory of homes from which to choose. That’s good news for those looking to buy a home.
a. Interest rates continue at record lows, at least for the short-term future.

1 The current condition of the housing market needs to be kept in historical perspective. Home
values rose 88 percent on a national average – higher in California – over the past decade.
Sales continue to be hampered by problems in real estate finance. Both tighter underwriting standards and the ongoing effects of the credit/liquidity crunch continue to limit sales.
a. Buyers with secured financing, or all cash are not hampered by the constraints of the
real estate financing market.
2 In fact, several North County brokers and agents have experienced significant increases in
activity in recent weeks, working with well-qualified buyers who recognize optimum buying conditions in which there are low interest rates and an abundant selection of homes on the market.
