Have you ever been in line at a store and discovered while you were at the cash register ready to buy something that you left your wallet at home? Now you are down to the cash in your pocket. I had one of these experiences just today and fortunately I had my checkbook in the car. So it all ended well at Albertsons this time.  

This got me thinking about the Jumbo Loan Market and sluggish upper end real estate sales in San Diego. The jumbo loan market has been in turmoil and higher priced homes have been slow to recover with many locations still going down. Many well to do buyers, with good credit, have likely been dragging their feet because of the high premium they have to pay over conforming mortgage loan rates (loans over $697,000 in San Diego County). The other issue with many entrepreneurs and retired people is, they were in line to buy a home, they were putting down 20, 30 or 40% and they were given rates that made them think twice or the rules changed while they were trying to get a loan and they just decided to forget about it all together. There is no doubt this is having an impact on the higher price ranges throughout San Diego and around the country. To be sure there are many of these folks that could pay cash for a home and that is exactly what many of them do, but the funny thing is...when we are paying cash for large items many times we lower the price of what we are buying because we take a deeper look at what we really need versus what we may want or can afford on a monthly basis. Many industries would be devastated if they were reduced to cash only sales.

The good news is that lenders are wading back into the jumbo loan market right now and while 30 year fixed loan rates still are not great there are some pretty darn good jumbo 5/1 ARM and 7/1 ARM loans in the 5% range.

The second bit of great news for those folks looking to buy a higher priced home there is an abundance of inventory to choose from in many locations which means there are going to be some very good deals had in the upper end in the next year. Lower priced homes have bottomed and are experiencing multiple offers in many coastal North San Diego neighborhoods. So if you are looking there you better be ready for action.

Below is the chart for months supply of inventory of 5+ bedroom homes in Encinitas over the past year, the months supply of inventory is down but it still sits at 10 months supply which is in the "Buyers Market" territory.

So I was out checking out some homes on caravan today previewing for clients when I ran across this wonderful home with ton's of features that make it the One Great Home You Gotta See for this week. This is truly a unique home tucked away at the South end of the coastal community of Encinitas Ranch. The Custom coastal dream home is ideal for those folks who are looking for a bit of relaxed elegance and a wonderful, wide view corridor to the Ocean. With upto 6 bedrooms and 6133 square feet of living space you are gonna love living in the North San Diego Coastal city of Encinitas, close to the beach, golf, shopping and excellent schools this one has it all. One of the neat facts about this home is it was custom built by one of the builders involved in the Encinitas Ranch project and so as you might guess one of the best lots was chosen for this spacious and well constructed home...oh and by the way there is a detached Casita, and a work out room and more.
