San Diego,CA—-Southern California Home Buyers are being DUPED by those same knuckle heads in the media who showed the consumers how to “Get Rich Quick” through Day Trading. This Day Trader mentality will price many home buyers totally out of the Southern California Market unless they take advantage of this Current Buyers Market!  A quick look at San Diego Home Values will show you what I am talking about…  A total of 35 Zip codes in San Diego County INCREASED in Value over the last 12 months.

All any Potential Home buyer really needs to look at if they are planning on buying a home is will they be living in that area for at least 5 years and if they can afford the payment. Long term Rent will increase, Home Prices Will Increase, and interest rates Can’t stay at 40 year lows forever.  So, if a potential home owner is like 80% of the Southern California Population, they will live here for the rest of their lifes. Does ANYONE really believe that prices will go down long term?

We are currently in a Buyers Market!

Yes, Virginia we are in a Buyers Market and there are a lot of Great Deals out there! Market conditions are ripe to continue expanding says local Real Estate pro, Bob Crain. Last month was the slowest October for Southern California home sales in a decade and most Real estate experts are scratching their heads. Prices continue to remain stable and interest rates are close to 40 year lows. PLUS we have a 6 year low in unemployment rates in Southern California AND a 5 year low in unemployment rates for both the nation and the rest of California. (more…)

For those still not familiar with Google Maps it is a free web map server application and technology provided by Google that powers many map-based services including Google Maps and embedded maps on third-party websites, like http://www.northcountyluxuryhomes.com/, via the Google Maps API.

Google Maps features a map that is navigated by dragging the mouse, or zoomed in (scrolling the mouse wheel up) and out (scrolling the mouse wheel down). This scrolling feature allows users to view detailed street information. The user can also control the map with arrow keys to move to the desired location. To allow for quick movement, most Google maps also include “+” and “-” keys which can be used for zooming in and out. Many maps also allow users to enter an address, intersection or general area to quickly find it on the map. With our San Diego MLS map users can also enter the properties address or San Diego MLS number.

On http://www.northcountyluxuryhomes.com/ , we have been utilizing Google Maps for the last 8 months to display all San Diego Real Estate listings. With our unique San Diego mls mapping tool, which offers three viewing modes by default: Map (Street map views), Satellite (satellite and high-resolution aerial photographs) and Hybrid (Street maps overlaid on satellite and high-resolution aerial photographs), users can view each San Diego county real estate listing right on a the Google map.

The Google Maps API was created by Google to facilitate developers integrating Google Maps into their web sites, with their own data points. This of course is how each San Diego County real estate listing is displayed on our maps; but, we also input all of our Featured San Diego County Real Estate listings by coding in a unique map data point for each of our own listings.

A word of caution to other real estate agents thinking about utilizing this type of technology… Not every user likes viewing listings on a map. I know that may seem hard to believe, but based on our websites stats there are twice as many people utlizing the standard San Diego County mls search tool?

Anyway, the Google maps based mls search tool on our site is here to stay. Every week we receive positive feedback from clients who love the various search options.
