Hi all,
I'm curious to know what resources you use to keep up to date with what's going on in the San Diego market? I would like to better understand the different neighborhoods and cities around San Diego and would love your input on how you stay up to date with the market changes in your area.
@Jay Hinrichs what was the name of the company that you have mentioned you use?

Hi Jay,
We are excited to share the new version of Altos Market Trend reports with you.
While you will still receive the same valuable data you have grown accustomed to, the new format is much more user friendly. Check out the following tutorial to learn about the changes: New Report Format Overview
Some of the new features include:
One email, regardless of the number of zip codes you receive. Within the body of the email you will find a button for each zip code.
If you receive a SFR and Condo report for the same zip code, you will now be able to view both reports by clicking on the tab at the top on the report.
Larger graphs to help you better understand and articulate the market trends
Social media sharing is now a breeze. Just click on "share" up at the right and sharing is just one more click away.
Need a different location? Easy, use the search functionality built into the report at the top.

I start with filtering for "sold" on Zillow to get a feel for what's going on. I've even purchased a pre-foreclosure property that I first noticed on Zillow. Their actual facts are pretty decent, but their algorithms produce truly awful, inaccurate numbers tending to skew very, very high (thus everything for sale looks like a "great" deal). If someone were to accuse them of being a shill for the RE industry there would be good evidence. I only use Zillow for info they can't goober up, such as actual prices, and tax history (and to see what's for sale, though they often lag).

There is a guy in SoCal used to work at a big title company, he puts out a report every two weeks about what is going on with the data and what they see. He covers Orange County (where I am at), Inland Empire, and I also believe he started San Diego too. It's a news letter type email that goes out, and he also does a weekly Facebook update every week as well.
Search Reports on Housing Steven Thomas and you'll find him.
I'm trying to copy @Twana Rasoul but it's not tagging his name. Google search Twana and contact him. He's with the Kappell group who puts out super rich market info. Same with NSREI.
Your best source of information is a property manager that has enough properties or years on the job to know about your specific area. Email /text a few and let them (price, cash flow vs appreciation, year built, condition....) the more specific you are the better they can help you.
@Ryan Martinez Google search NSDREI which has a monthly market update in our meetings led by Jerry Ryan. Also Google search Patrick Kappel who's a San Diego real estate agent with in depth rich micro and marco economic info. Cheers.
@Casey Murray@Ryan Martinez We definitely have one of the best San Diego micro and macro economic updates each month lead by Patrick on the team. Feel free to shoot me a message if you'd like to me invite you to our next one in March. Cover lots of great data. Second to none locally.
Hi Ryan, For direct data, we have copious data reports available through our MLS we can run. They can send weekly text updates broken down by zip code. Our Board of Realtors also produces ongoing reports on market changes - New Listings, Pendings, Solds, Price changes, SFR vs Attached, Volume, Days on Market, etc. You can look at the whole county or broken down by zip code.
