  • Foot traffic in the area covered by the Pacific Southwest Association of REALTORS® (San Diego County, CA) has been stronger than a year earlier in every month since February.
  • This trend is a surprise for March, and April given the $8,000 take credit that was in effect last spring.  This year’s steady demand is important for price stability and growth.
