So what does this mean for La Mesa homeowners considering selling or those who want to buy? I find it interesting that despite the holidays we still saw an increase in the number of single family homes sold. Heading into the New Year inventory remains tight and homes are selling in less than 20 days so I don’t think we’ll see any drop in price. However, I do predict that appreciation will slow as the year progresses. We might even see a slight drop in overall volume by summer as some would-be buyers and sellers wait to see how the economy fares under the new administration. .
