last month:

April 2014 Housing Data RodeoSubmitted by Rich Toscano on May 18, 2014 - 6:37pm
It was a month of yet more gains for home prices, per the median
price per square foot, with condos going particularly nuts.
That latter bit is not very analytically important, as the condo
price/sqft can be very volatile. But it does make for an
exciting looking chart:

So much for that price pullback. The median price per square foot
for single family homes rose in January, just hitting a new
post-crash high:

Shambling Towards Affordability: San Diego Housing Overpriced (But is it a Bubble?)Submitted by Rich Toscano on February 2, 2014 - 10:54am
I must admit, I considered dispensing with the "Shambling Towards
Affordability" title for these valuation updates, but in the end I
decided that tradition must be maintained. Anyway, other than
the fact that the housing market is neither "shambling" nor moving
"towards affordability," it's a perfect fit.
One thing I did change was to combine my two previous valuation indicators, home-prices-to-incomes and home-prices-to-rents, into a single metric. I thought this would make it simpler to get a single big-picture view on home valuations, and it makes the chart maintenance a little easier on me as well. The indicator is constructed simply by dividing the Case-Shiller San Diego home price index by an equally weighted average of San Diego rents and per capita incomes, and normalizing the whole deal so that January 2000 equals a value of 100 (just like the CS index). OK, enough background... let's have a look: ![]() (category: )
December 2013 Data Rodeo and Year-End StatsSubmitted by Rich Toscano on January 19, 2014 - 5:41pm

November 2013 Housing Data RodeoSubmitted by Rich Toscano on December 29, 2013 - 7:24pm
Hello there... the usual roundup of housing charts can be found
below. Prices have declined a bit in recent months, in a
somewhat more noticeable manner than the usual year-end lull -- but
considering the magnitude of the early-2013 price increase and the
spike in rates midway through the year, this is perhaps
understandable. Months of inventory have increased back to the
levels that prevailed for most of 2012; this is a big change in
percent terms but supply still remains scarce, historically
speaking.
I hope everyone has a fantastic 2014! ![]() (category: )
September-October 2013 Housing Data RodeoSubmitted by Rich Toscano on November 23, 2013 - 3:24pm
Folks, sorry this has taken me so long. When urbanrealtor starts offering to buy me booze just to get the monthly charts up, I know I've been a huge slacker even by my own lofty standards of indolence. So without further delay, let's do this. Starting with the median price/square foot, we see that the rapid price apprecation we've seen all year finally took a breather over the past couple months, with prices by this measure flattening in September and then falling in October. ![]() (category: )
August 2013 Housing Data RodeoSubmitted by Rich Toscano on September 15, 2013 - 5:26pm
As I mentioned last in last month's rodeo, the full effect (whatever
that may be) of the recent rate increase won't show up until the
September data. Thus, the August data presented below is kind
of a transitional phase... higher rates will have affected some of
these sales but not all.
With that said, home prices continued to climb: ![]() (category: )

springtime frenzy:

how different the character of this year has been:

Monthly Payment Ratios, May 2013: Homes May Not Be Cheap, But Mortgages Sure AreSubmitted by Rich Toscano on May 24, 2013 - 9:48am
I recently updated the price-to-income and price-to rent-ratios for San Diego single family homes. I think these are the best metrics to determine whether homes are overpriced or underpriced based on their fundamental economic underpinnings. It's also interesting to look at the ratio of monthly payments to incomes rents, but for a different reason. I'll get into this in a moment, but first let's check out the graphs: ![]() (category: )
