San Diego Housing Market Update – October 9th, 2013

October 9, 2013 by

Sold-HomeSan Diego Home Prices Rose 20% in September 2013. Home prices rose and the number of days an existing home was on the market fell, from 84 days a year ago to 45 days for homes sold in September.

Based on information from the Greater San Diego Association of Realtors and this recent article by Chris Jennewein on Poway Patch.

“The median price of an existing single-family home sold in San Diego County was 20% higher in September than a year ago, the SDAR reported. The Realtors’ latest report showed that 1,742 homes were sold throughout the county in September with the median price at $486,500. The median is the price at which half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less. It is a better measure of a typical home price than the average, which can be skewed by a handful of expensive homes. Homes that sold in September were on the market an average of 45 days, down from 84 days a year ago, the Realtors said. Prices for condominiums and townhouses fell slightly, by 2% to $305,000 in September.”

This is great news for current home owners that are thinking of selling and an informative statement for future buyers looking to get into the housing market.

Poway remains safest city in San Diego County

September 19, 2013 by
Poway - The City in the Country

Poway – The City in the Country

The City of Poway, known as “The City in the Country” has again been named the safest city in San Diego County according to an article in the Poway News Chieftain and new crime statistics that were released Thursday.

The city’s “FBI Index Crime Rate” for the 12-month period ending June 30 was 14.43 crimes per 1,000 residents, according to figures compiled by the San Diego Association of Government. While that number was up 4 percent from 2011-12, it was the lowest of any incorporated city in the county, including the eight others that, like Poway, contract with the sheriff’s department for law enforcement services. The San Marcos rate of 18.67 crimes per 1,000 placed second in the county, behind Poway. National City had the highest crime rate, 39.68. The City of San Diego’s rate was 27.67. Three unincorporated areas of the county had lower crime rates: 4S Ranch (9.94), Ramona (10.77) and Fallbrook (14.15). The 4S Ranch number remained low despite a 55 percent increase in crimes in that community. Ramona’s rate dropped a county-leading 47 percent during the 12-month period ending on June 30.

With this new crime report and the award winning Poway Unified School District, Poway continues to be an ever popular community to reside.
