According to the NCSDAR, homes in North County San Diego continue to rise. While certain parts of the country are still feeling the housing squeeze, once again San Diego is leading the recovery. Nay sayers will say these increases were inevitable since the market was hit so hard last year but the bottom line is prices are on the rise and since the Govt. bailouts are winding down, positive economic news on unemployment and the DOW, interest rates could continue to rise. Now is the time to get off the fence and buy. Here are some stats-
