2013 was one of the best years for San Diego real estate in a long time. During the year We saw some positive numbers as far as home prices, supply of homes inventory and an increased number of transactions as well.
Because of the appreciation of home prices people are now in a position that now have enough equity on their homes that they can move up to their dream home.
