Hi everyone!  I'm going to be honest....I am SUPER excited to by typing up this blog post today.  I became a first time homeowner two weeks ago, and it was a whirlwind!  I've really been looking forward to sharing my experience in blog format.  So many of me and James' friends are in their late twenties or early thirties, and are now starting to think about home ownership.  So, I thought it would be a great idea to create an "insider's guide" into the scary, and not so scary, parts of buying a home.

Summer is almost here!  The real estate market in San Diego is hot hot hot.  We remain in a strongly sellers' market, with average days on market the LOWEST as it has been in years.  Our average sales price is officially above what it was right before the market crashed in 2008.  I get asked often if I see a housing recession coming.  I do believe we are due for a correction, but I do not think demand and prices will fall nearly as hard as they did the last time around.  Buyers are still doing well in this market if they write extremely competitive offers and keep their heads up!
