Above is the summary of yesterday’s housing and economic outlook sponsored by First American Title. Click here for the full report.
Let’s mention those who will be making the market in 2019:
1. Those with the least amount of experience and education.
2. Those who don’t own a home here yet.
People in these two categories aren’t hampered by the over-analysis that comes with owning a home here currently. Those who already own a home in San Diego have paid less, and have a lower mortgage rate. We are trying to make sense of giving that up, and paying more!
It’s a burden that thwarts most attempts to move by current homeowners.
But those who don’t study it too hard, or don’t already own a home will forge ahead. They have already decided that buying a home make sense in this environment, and have their own personal consequences if they don’t buy. They aren’t going to be talked out of it either.
Figure out how many people are in that group, and you can predict the future.
Here are the categories:
- First-timers
- Down-sizers
- Up-sizers with strong needs
- Incomers from out-of-county/state/country
- Affluent people
How many? My guess is 80% of those who bought in 2018.
