Specifically, he expressed confusion about comments he has heard that our market is a normal one, yet San Diego’s inventory of unsold listings is at an all-time high. How is that normal?

First of all, sorry for the delay in posting your comment. First-time posters are moderated once (to protect us all from Spam). Now that we have deemed you appropriate, your future comments will show up real time. :) By the way, I am very impressed with the 12:36 am time stamp. I think your question is worthy of a new thread, so check back in an hour or so and I will give you my 2 cents. I am sure that Steve will want to respond as well, since he will UNDOUBTEDLY have a somewhat different spin (and likes having the last word). Welcome to the Blog. Hi, Jack.

Question for you guys. The San Diego housing inventory is in the 23,000 range. This is a historic record for resale homes in SD. But Leslie Apple-Young was just recently quoted in the Union Tribune saying the housing inventory in San Diego has returned to "normal". Why did she say that? I can't seem to understand how "record high inventory" is "normal". Can you guys help me out here? love the blog. Question for you guys. The San Diego housing inventory is in the 23,000 range.

My biggest concideration would be price for value. 2. I believe the market is still a bit high, even for paradise! 3. The fabulous Bergs 4. I think that there still may be a slight trend downward 5. The motivating fact for me, at this time, is a need to downsize & most importantly getting out of the "Redneck Riviera". Hello Kris:

Thanks for stopping by. There is nothing in the "rules" that says a Realtor can't win, so your entry is still good. "Shreve", on the other hand, is going to have to buy his own coffee. (Nice try, Steve). Hi, John. Thanks for stopping by.

It pays to read the whole message. Well never mind -- save it for a potential client. Don't be giving it to an out of town colleague. 1) My biggest consideration in this market would be "Do I need a new / different house"? 2) Prices are awful from the point of view of first time buyers especially. On the other hand, what SHOULD prices be? As a Realtor(r), I always go by the comps. 3) The MLS, or, for San Diego, Kris Berg. :) 4) The San Diego market is likely to adjust downward, from what I see in other markets in California. The interesting thing is always how much and when. 5) Well, right now I'm not in the market for anything, so I suppose my motivation at this point might be described as something between "Lookie-Lou" and "hey, this guy can't even fog a mirror."
