I am a Realtor in San Diego and I can affirm what you article claims in the fact that so many houses are being bought by first time home buyers. I have dealt with many first time buyers myself individually. This aspect would have scared me at first but after researching the changes banks have made and the stipulations on current mortgages things are starting to look up. San Diego still hasn’t felt the full effect of the swing of the market but hopefully in time things will start to trickle down to us.

Very nice post!
In my opinion, I doubt that Feds will keep rates low when prices just start rebounding and also that new hype of prices can occur for the next few years.

This is a sign that the real state industry is about to rise again maybe not on its peak but surely it will. Good deal about the houses are offered in a wide range so the home buyers cannot miss this chance to take good deals.

We are seeing a strong sellers market in those areas that were hardest hit with the downturn. One nearby city (San Ramon) has an inventory absorption rate of 2 weeks. The homes that are selling are priced up to $800K. With many of them being sold to first time buyers who have been saving their money for the last 5-7 years. The amount of active inventory is less than half of what it was a year ago. We are just waiting to see what happens when the banks start placing more foreclosed homes on the market.

One more year of value decline here in Portland probably. Though things seem to be evening out over time.

I think that in WY we can see another year or two of decline hoping I’m wrong

We think next year most markets will normalize back to the historic sales pace. Prices will rise on low cost housing and stabilize in the upper price ranges.
