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.
4. 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.

Single-Family Detached Homes
1
The median is the middle-priced home sold: Half the homes sold for more than the median, and half sold for less.
2
The reported days-on-market is defined as the time between the listing and sale of a property. In the event that a
property is re-listed then days-on-market is calculated from the new list date to sale date; therefore, the occurrence of
re-listing biases downward the reported days-on-market.
3
HomeDexTM affordability percentages assume homeowners place 20 percent down and spend no more than a third of
their income on housing, which in North County during March 2009 required an annual income of $79,772 for the
median-priced SFD home – an amount earned by 34 percent of San Diego County households.
4
Monthly median prices and HomeDexTM household affordability percentages reported for some zip codes were
calculated from small numbers of sold listings; reported numbers may be sensitive to price variations and do not imply
statistical significance.
5
HomeDexTM affordability percentages show the percent of San Diego County households that can “afford” the
median-priced SFD home in a particular zip code, assuming homeowners place 20 percent down and spend no more
than a third of their income on housing given prevailing monthly interest rates.

The median is the middle-priced home sold: Half the homes sold for more than the median, and half sold
for less.
2
The reported days-on-market number is defined as the time between the listing and sale of a property. In
the event that a property is re-listed then days-on-market is calculated from the new list date to sale date;
the occurrence of re-listing biases downward the reported days-on-market.
3
HomeDexTM affordability percentages assume homeowners place 20 percent down and spend no more
than a third of their income on housing, which in North County during March 2009 required an annual
income of $40,763 for the median-priced SFA home – an amount earned by 66 percent of San Diego
County households.

Monthly median prices and HomeDexTM numbers reported for some zip codes were calculated from small
numbers of sold listings; reported numbers may be sensitive to price variations and do not imply statistical
significance.
