Housing Prices in Perspective
There is some good news -- the median price of a home in one California county is $69,000!
That county is Modoc County...don't bother to look it up! Cheap places are cheap for a reason!
Here in San Diego County, the median price is $617,000, and only 8% of the county population can afford the median priced home.
It takes an income of $150,000 a year to afford a median priced home in San Diego.Overall, the County prices increased 5.2%...in 92026, houses increased 4%...in Pauma Valley they went up 67% and in one part of Rancho Bernardo prices went down 1%.
For those who do not know Pauma Valley, it is an almost unknown part of the County -- I tell people that the Pauma Valley maids and gardeners own homes in Rancho Santa Fe!
This information is designed to allay fears about a "housing bubble."
So long as California can withstand downward pressures in the overall market, and maintain stability -- which we have so far -- then the nations overall stability is assured. Just as there is a micro market within San Diego County as evidenced by the increase/decrease in different areas, there is a macro market within the nation -- some area housing rise, some go down.
When Florida prices close the gap with California, California prices rise to maintain the natural "delta."
While I can't understand why anyone would live in Florida, I also can't imagine how anyone can afford to buy in California!
How many coke dealers can there be?
