“While we don’t expect a quick fix to our housing affordability and availability crises, we are more immediately concerned that the tax reform proposals moving through Washington may have a negative effect on home ownership,” said SDAR President Bob Kevane. “SDAR and its state and national Realtor® associations are advocating to maintain the current law for mortgage interest deductions and capital gains exclusions.”
The most expensive residential property sold in San Diego County in November was a gated estate in La Jolla Shores with a sweeping ocean view – 9,900 square feet, 8 bedrooms, 9 baths – built in 1999. The sale price was $7.83 million.
SDAR’s housing statistics are compiled monthly from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
NOTE: The median home price is the price in which half of the homes sold for more, and half sold for less. It is a more typical price measure than average price, which can be skewed high by a relative handful of million-dollar-plus transactions.
