I got my real estate license back in 1979 while serving as an Officer in the U.S. Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton. I have seen four cycle changes in real estate, where the market went up and then down, four times. I am still amazed when I hear some say "Do you think the prices will go up? If I had known that purchasing a home in 1978 would go up 35% or more over these 36 years, would it have been a good investment? Of course it would. San Diego is like a box, we have Camp Pendleton to our North, the ocean to our West, Mexico to our South and the Cleveland National Forest to our East. The available land on which we have to build new homes is limited and now very scarce. Building new homes is what keeps a market healthy and affordable, but since the land to build on is so limited, we experience a natural set of circumstances for housing shortages. This is where Demand comes into play. We have the best weather in the world. We are located near the beautiful Pacific ocean. We are located close to many recreational type endeavors, skiing, surfing, golfing, hiking, etc, etc. We can play almost year round. We have a diversified economy now, which offers jobs and stability. We have so many reasons to want to live here and it's not just the people in the US that know and would like to live here, it's the world that knows and wants to live here. Oh, did I mention we have the best weather in the world? The statistics point to home ownership as a good investment.
