A bit more data:
Based on the key economic variables and comparing today’s climate to our last recession, predictions are that we are likely to have a very mild recession with little impact on the housing market:
Also, as far as home prices go, Montecito prices were up 15% on average last year. It’s possible that month-over-month price depreciation, which began in the summer, may already be behind us – and even those numbers didn’t show significant declines on the national level. Over the last four months that have been published (July – October) the data shows home price depreciation peaked in August.
This data coincides with what we are seeing locally with demand for properties remaining strong and consistent.
