Are you thinking about listing your home for sale in Coronado? Consider getting your home on the market sooner than later!!! The sales stats are already looking better than last year, but why wait for more competition as people start to list their homes during the “busy” season? I encourage my clients to list in early February while there is only 164 listings (as of February 8, 2012) compared to 265 (July 2011) in the high season. Southern California is beautiful all year and there are always potential new buyers visiting. Plus, SERIOUS, buyers don’t just STOP looking because its January. Remember, some people relocating here are coming from Canada or England, so our mild winters might seem like a tropical haven. In fact 61 homes SOLD since November 1st 2011 and there are 31 “Pending Sales” right now.  One of these homes could have been YOURS if you had it listed during the Coronado “winter”. While the Holidays can be slower, there seems to be no real “down” time where homes don’t sell.  In fact, home sales have increased for the last six months out of eight months showing signs of an overall recovery.

         I love Coronado, California…. I grew up here and have absolutely enjoyed the whole experience.  Coronado is one of the most unique and beautiful beachfront cities in the world. Located just minutes from downtown San Diego, this enchanted “island” has it all – beaches, parks, numerous recreational activities, highly rated schools, top notch municipal services, a wonderful climate and an ideal location. Most people believe there are no homes under a million dollars. There are actually 49 homes in Coronado under 1M right now.

Most Realtors and home owners agree that it is still a buyer’s market around the country and here locally in Coronado and San Diego.  However, sales are increasing and home prices have risen in some areas in 2010. Even though the qualification process for home loans is more stringent these days, money is still being lent and interest rates remain at all time lows. If you already own your dream home it might be time to consider a second home or real estate investment in San Diego.
