Danielle's Prediction for Real Estate 2012

In my opinion, 2012 will be an excellent year in real estate.  Some may ask how I came to this conclusion given the flow in the market the past 4 years.  Overall, I can't complain at all.  My business has consistently grown and I am very grateful!

But, back to 2012 and my "prediction".  First off, 2012 is an election year and historically election years are good for the economy.  Of course they are!  The incumbent wants the public to believe they have been doing a great job and now look how fantastically the economy has begun to improve under their leadership- for example- Dec. 2011 consumer confidence was up, unemployment was down and the housing market showed signs of stabilizing.  In addition, interest rates will remain low and lower than they have ever been.  They may even dip a few more times before October, 2012. 

Regarding San Diego, our market has nearly recovered from the 2008 debacle. Prices are flat and in some areas increasing.  The demand is still high and inventory is lacking overall.  Certain areas are experiencing multiple offer scenarios and overbids on properties.  2012 will be a rambunctious, interesting, busy year in the real estate world.  So says my crystal ball. :)

New Rancho Santa Fe Fire Station Nearly Completed

New Rancho Santa Fe fire station nearing completion


A new fire station under construction in Fairbanks Ranch will be one of the safest buildings in the community due to strict earthquake standards imposed by the state.
The new station at 6424 El Apajo will replace the Rancho Santa Fe Fire District’s former Station No. 3, which was demolished last year. During construction, the area is being served from a temporary station housed in trailers across the street.
Construction on the new station began in June 2010, and district officials expect to open the new station in December or January.

The new, nearly 11,000-square-foot station replaces a 3,000-square-foot-facilty built in 1983. In 1986, California adopted the Essential Services Buildings Seismic Safety Act, which requires that public safety buildings such as fire stations be built 125 percent stronger than non-safety buildings, said Rancho Santa Fe fire Capt. Chris Galindo, project manager for the new fire station.
