I have talked with a number of investors in the San Diego area who are citing concern that single-family homes are staying on the market considerably longer and buyers are becoming fickle.
It is noteworthy that the press is paying more attention to impending doom in the market. Local realtors, such as those in the Escondido area, are also noticing the signs.

replied almost 13 years agoI've heard chatter of the same thing all around. It will be interesting to see if this translates to "impending doom". Homes staying longer on market is a sign of slowdown, but throughout the bubble of the last few yrs, there have been variations in average DOM (days on market).

replied almost 13 years agoEverytime it seems that you hear about DOM getting longer, it seems like the market quickly improves again and takes off. It is never ending. I hate the anxiety of waiting to see what may happen.
