All of us in one way or another have personally felt the effects of COVID-19 however for the business owner, it has hit many hard and our hearts go out to them. The Coronavirus resurgence and tight housing supply in San Diego remains a challenge even in the real estate business. It’s not business as usual, much has changed. No longer is every door opened just with a phone call. Statewide open houses are strictly prohibited but we are still selling homes virtually, utilizing every digital tool possible.

The strength of the real estate industry in San Diego is still a bright spot during this crisis.
June was very active in the San Diego real estate market. Home Seller's saw offers pouring in on mid-range to $1 million+ houses in North County and Metro San Diego. Mortgage rates remain at near historical lows, and are predicted to remain fairly steady through the end of the year, making it an opportune time for existing and future homeowners.
California Real Estate Market Highlights, May and June 2020
U.S. Pending Home Sales Increased - Pending Home Sales Index surged 44.3%* in May 2020.
Home Showings Are Up 56.2%** from the same time of last year and remain well above 2019 level.
Mortgage Rates Remain at Record Lows
Home Prices and Sales are Expected to Increase in 2021- The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) forecasts both sales and price are expected to improve in 2021, with existing home sales up 8.5% from 2020 and the median price up 2.5% year-over-year.
Low Housing Supply - While buyer activity continues to be robust, seller activity continues to be a bit softer, with fewer homes being listed for sale than a year ago. Many housing experts believe sellers remain reluctant to list their homes due to continued concerns over COVID-19, which was beginning to see a resurgence in June. Until sellers regain confidence, housing inventory will continue to be constrained during what is expected to be an active summer selling season.
While the outlook for the San Diego real estate industry is looking more positive than before, the negative impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the economy will stay for a while. There are promising signs that the economic downturn has reached the bottom.
