All these factors, combined, appear to have created a perfect storm in the housing market. Just in the last month alone, all San Diego sub-markets crashed 10+% across the board, and it looks like the decline will only accelerate from this point on.

March '10 price crash
As you may have heard, the Fed has recently ended its mortgage-backed security buying program. Furthermore, Bank of America is increasing the foreclosure rate of its properties, from 7,500 homes a month nationally, with the goal to increase that number to 45,000 homes per month by December of 2010. On top of that, there's evidence of increased strategic defaults, and the $8,000 first-time homebuyer credit is about to expire.
All these factors, combined, appear to have created a perfect storm in the housing market. Just in the last month alone, all San Diego sub-markets crashed 10+% across the board, and it looks like the decline will only accelerate from this point on.
