Relocating--Homes Sales ?? (San Diego, Carlsbad: real estate, foreclosure, condos)

[sassygrl]

My husnabd and I have 4 children. we are relocating to the San Diego area from TX.
He is in New Home Sales , I am in home sales (Realtor).

I'm curious how the Home sales market compare to TX.

Are we making a mistake?

Thanks

Well, I'm not sure what area of TX you are coming from, but California homes sales are on a decline and pricing is continuing to go down. Although the pricing is still higher than TX. It might mean it's harder to find a position though.

New home sales and condos are being hit the hardest, from what I can see. Most of the major foreclosure stuff is happening in California, NV, FL, and a few other states.

If you check with housingtracker you see SD pricing and inventory is off a bit from 12 months ago, while TX cities all gained in pricing. However, the lowered pricing has sparked some bottom priced action due to the relatively low interest rates.

Thanks so much for the info---

Well if we can make a living, sounds like maybe we can get a house

I'm an original Californian , and I want to come back so bad!

I guess we should chat with some New Home Sales people. We just can't let it out to my husbands employer.

Have a good one from Texas !

Since you're experienced with real estate, you may do well with the foreclosure situation and pick up some stuff for cheap.

Stuff like this looks kind of interesting:
