This year’s month-over-month gain in San Diego is about half of what it was in February 2018 & 2019.

“The big question now, is how quickly the home listings will awaken after the pause or will unemployment drag down purchase activity going forward.  If buyers come back faster than sellers, it could cause prices to push even higher as buyers compete over the slim choices.”

Bill Banfield, Quicken Loans Executive Vice President of Capital Markets
