I came across this graph which represents the value of real estate in regard to the overall economy and adjusted for inflation. When you look at history, the value of real estate in the US is either creating a paradigm shift in the economy or is about to have a serious correction.
Movers – How to tell if they are Good
Leave a Comment
I came across an article which I thought I would share in regard to how to find a good mover. When looking at movers, use the following checklist as a guide. The list below should be a huge red flag in regard to their business.
- One of the best ways is to see if they are a member of the Better Business Bureau
- If the mover offers you an estimate over the phone without coming to your home to inspect your property, they are not going to be able to give you an accurate estimate.
- If they only accept cash, you will have little or no recourse if something goes wrong.
- They have no website or no physical address and phone number on the website.
- If the mover doesn’t supply you with a “rights and responsibilities” overview or a list of what they can and can’t transport legally.
- If they arrive in a rental truck instead of a company branded truck.
I know that it all sounds like common sense, but when you are so busy packing, sometimes it is easy to overlook little things. Good Luck with your move.

La Jolla real estate remains strong in the summer of 2006. Like much of San Diego, overall sales are down as the market activity softens. Median price, average sales price and the percentage of listing price to sold price, however, have all risen year over year for the month of June.
A strong local job market and favorable interest rates have contributed to return a healthy 10% increase in the median price for a detached home in 92037. The median price of a detached home in La Jolla (92037) in June 2005 was $1,530,000 and in June 2006 rose to $1,690,000. The median price for condos and townhomes has increased from $522,500 in June 20005 to $598,000 in June of this year. The continued rise in median home prices is a good sign for homeowners next to increased inventory and longer average market times.
It remains to be seen whether or not softening in parts of San Diego, most notabley in the East County and in the entry level condo market, reaches the luxury housing market in San Diego’s most stable communities. As developers in other parts of the County race to close out sales of new homes and condo conversions, and sellers in the resale market are forced to compete, sellers in La Jolla can remain confident that despite longer market times, the local housing market continues to shine.

Rent To Own Solutions

Here at Best Fit Homes, we are focusing our business on reaching consumers who may have had a poor credit history but are now in a position to own a home. We work with local investors who purchase properties and then rent them back to people who can afford a home but due to their past history, are not in a position to qualify for a conventional loan. This allows people who would nornally have to rent for a period of time before they can purchase a home, to purchase a home today and work toward owning the home they live in.
This is an underserved market as it requires lots of moving parts, but once established, reaches a large market of potential buyers. In todays market, it is also a growing market.
San Diego Real Estate Home Values
Leave a Comment
The curent real estate market in San Diego has been affected by the increase in interest rates. However, we have not yet seen this lead to a decrease in home values. We have also seen an increase in current days on market.
Most importantly, I was speaking to one of the mortgage brokers I use and they were telling me that over 2 billion in fixed rate loans turn into adjustable loans this year and an additional 7 billion switch to an adjustable rate in 2007. This will greatly affect the real estate market as more people will be be forced to sell their property as they can not afford the higher payments.
I think this fact will continue to increase the number on properties the market and sellers will be in a forced sale position which will drive home values down. Just my opinion but I am planning for a minimum of an 18 month downturn in regard to home values and budgeting for a bear real estate market.
