Home improvement site Porch predicts San Diego’s median home price will reach close to $1 million by this time next year, according to its research.
San Diego Union-Tribune business reporter Phillip Molnar joined Midday Edition on Wednesday to talk about the study and what it means for would-be homebuyers and renters alike.
With single-family homes leading the way, the study forecasts a yearly increase of 25% in San Diego’s home prices. At a median price of around $850,000, Molnar said “single-family homes are the hottest thing in San Diego County.”
