Might take a weighting on 3 short/long term factors:
1. interest rate / mortgate rate - short term movement and expectation.
如果房贷利率短期内上涨快过预期,同时经济起色不大的话,购买需求下降,房价可能会继续下降。 2011年上半年可能就是这样,短期内通胀预期推高债券收益率,进而推高Mortgage Rate,从而对房价产生打压和约束,在foreclosure 不再继续恶化的前提下,房价不会大跌,但是不太可能上涨,阴跌可能性大。
2. Jobless rate - the ultimate indicator of ecomony status
这是个短期加长期的基本面因素。如果美国2011年继续维持9.X%的失业率炒过12个月,房市低迷是肯定的事情。就算炒房,也不着急,房价就算上涨,沿着很低的斜率上升要很长的路走,这个飞机起飞的跑道短不了。
3. Long term inflation expectation
个人觉得长期来看通胀是看涨的,通胀因素是唯一一个对房价看涨的因素。前提是买房者接受比较高的Mortgage Rate (只有两种可能:1. 认为未来的Mortgage Rate 会更高;2. 房子的增值速度快过Mortgage Rate ,这两种可能性出现的世道现在人人都知道了,这是诊断泡沫严重性程度的两个指标)。
San Diego leads national market. So, here is one of our deals for a house we got for 920K:
Closing deal: 07/2008, 1090K, 08/2009, 1068K, 05/2010, 1000K. The guy asked for 950K 7 weeks ago, we said go pounding sand. 920 take it or leave it. We got it.
It is all about jobs, jobs, and jobs. Home price can't be stabilized without job growth.

housing market is national event but also very localized. take a look of Washington DC, because the government related spending, DC job market is much stronger than national average. As a result, DC house market has been holding quite well. 冷唇兄 is right. If you have a strong local job market, then you will have a strong local housing market.
I do not know much about San Diego though. I thought it sucks.

Yes. Out of 20 Metropolitan Areas, Washington DC is the only one that seems stabilized.
Washington Metropolitan Area Washington–Arlington–Alexandria, DC–VA–MD–WV
Since yr 1998? Leading period is about 8 month to 18 month. The specific area we choose to compare with national price is Del Mar, Camel Valley, RP, Temecula. Also, there is a big difference between a person sitting in front a computer looking charts with a person really goes out and buying stuff. So, before you said:" Are u kidding me?" 先看看自己的盘子有多大,然后再试试能不能组个PE。您老的帖子就此不敢再跟了,您太牛X了,我们这儿不行,20%还没达标呢。不过好象拿出track record,大家还都很满意。麦道夫不也就是保底12%吗。房价和工作,现有鸡啊还是先有蛋?
Seems the housing bubble in San Diego is not that huge:
The price only shrinked about 15.6% , ...

San Diego is a nice place. rich people all over the world are there buy house paying cash. for working class, a lot of high tech, bio. tech...buying house there will never be a wrong idea.
I should give you the details. This area's housing price was peaked in late 2005, flat in 2006. This property's market price during that period was 1.3M. Then it was REO deal in 2008,, regular sale 2009, short sale 2010. Now it is regular sale and reason we bought is one investor in mainland wants it.
