Worst Wildfire in San Diego’s History
San Diego California Wildfires - How to Help and Where Help is Needed
Please take care of yourself, each other and stay tuned to radio and tv reports for the latest wildfire updates and official information.
Here is information from the Surfrider community if you live in an unaffected area there are a few ways to help:
1) 2-1-1 is seeking volunteers to help in the next 72 hours to take calls and/or fill other roles at 2-1-1 should that be needed. Shifts are about four hours and training is available. If interested, visit http://www.volunteersandiego.org . A 2-1-1 person will contact you directly once you send that information.
2) Individuals who wish to volunteer can go to the Red Cross Spontaneous Volunteer Center at Horizon Christian Fellowship, 5331 Mt. Alifan Drive (one block south of Balboa and Genesee) in the Clairemont area. Center hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. until further notice. Individuals can also call and leave contact information at 858-309-1261. Over 600 new volunteers were processed through the center Monday so you should probably call first. PLEASE DO NOT GO DIRECTLY TO ANY OF THE EVACUATION SITES, they are not staffed to accept new volunteers at this time as they help evacuees.
3) Visit the Red Cross and Volunteer San Diego websites for updates and more ways to help. www.sdarc.org and www.volunteersandiego.org

San Diego Real Estate … the Worst is Yet to Come
Thinking of selling your San Diego home? Should you sell now or wait? Who really knows? The only thing I can assure my clients of, is I will get them the best possible price, buying or selling for the current market time. Where market is going, is pure speculation
With that said, the slow summer
San Diego real estate market (usually this
season has the highest real estate activity) may indicate that the situation
will be even worse down the road, as lenders who are now enduring a surge in
mortgage delinquencies among subprime and other less-creditworthy borrowers try
to unload a growing number of foreclosed homes. *** To read the full post,

#1 Cause of San Diego Housing Value Decline - No, it’s NOT subprime loans!
Sure, a small percentage of home buyers, with poor credit, were taken advantage of by unscrupulous loan representatives between 2000 and 2005. However, in the middle to upper end San Diego neighborhoods in which I work, this is not the problem.
The simple truth is that the problem was GREED!
Yes, greed and pure speculation were king in the San Diego real estate market heyday! One hundred percent loan purchases were ‘main-stream,’ while 110% and 120% refinancing were easy to obtain. The word was out:“Have good credit but do not make enough to purchase the larger property you desire? No problem! Just apply for a ‘stated’ income loan.” With these loans, the purchaser stated what their income was, and the lenders NEVER verified these statements.
