Housing statistics
San Diego’s housing crisis – statistics and quotes
Increasing housing prices vs. incomes in San Diego:
*
San Diego County’s high housing prices, coupled with its relatively low wages, make it the second least affordable area in the country. (National Association of Home Builders, 2005)
*
The average new detached home in San Diego County sells for $861,265 – a 350 percent increase over 1996 ($245,884). (The Daily Transcript/MarketPointe Realty 10/21/05)
*
Meanwhile, in the past six years, the median household income in San Diego increased only 21 percent for a family of four. (San Diego Union Tribune, 7/10/05)
*
The median price for existing houses for October 2005 was $560,000 (as compared to a national median price of $225,000). The median price for resale condos for that period was $398,250. (San Diego Union-Tribune/DataQuick Information Systems, 11/12/05 and The Daily Transcript, 8/9/05)
*
“To afford a median-priced home today in San Diego, a household would need an annual income of nearly $110,000…” [versus the median $63,400 for a family of four, as per the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development]. That assumes a 10 percent down payment and a 30-year fixed-rate financing at current prices.” (SDUT, 7/10/05)
*
The San Diego Association of Governments estimates that 172,000 local employees, or 13 percent of the work force, earn less than $8.35 an hour.
*
According to the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the past year, San Diego lost 15 percent of its manufacturing jobs (which are typically higher wage than retail and hospitality jobs).(SDBJ, 6/27/05)
*
Examples of average wages not keeping up with housing prices (according to the National Housing Conference’s Center for Housing Policy): elementary school teacher, $48,840; police officer, $58,370; nurse $35,080; retail salesperson, $19,150; and janitor, $18,110. (San Diego Housing Federation weekly brief, 8/27/04)
Attitudes about Housing:
*
According to a Public Policy Institute of California survey: “The cost of housing is one of the biggest issues on the minds of California residents. More residents (55 percent) see the lack of affordable housing as a bigger issue than population growth (35 percent), lack of well-paying jobs (35 percent), or air pollution (30 percent).” (The Daily Transcript, 6/1/05)
Housing Price Impacts on Employment:
*
“’San Diego’s Housing Market is one of the most inflated in the country – a detrimental factor in terms of recruiting and retaining employees,’ said Kristine Norquist, Communications Manager for the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce.” (The Daily Transcript, 2/18/05)
*
“Corporate relocation specialists say the area’s high costs are making it increasingly hard to find newcomers to replace the companies that are departing.” (SDUT, 6/12/05)
*
“We’ve dropped out of the top 20 on Forbes Magazine’s ranking of the ‘Best Places for Business and Careers.’ ... The primary factors: cost of living (we’re sixth costliest out of 150) and cost of doing business (we’re third costliest out of 150).” (Tom Blair, i on San Diego/San Diego Magazine July 2005)
*
In San Diego, 29 percent of residents are considering moving out of the state because of high housing prices, according to the Public Policy Institute of California. (SDUT, 11/18/04)
*
“For the first time in nearly a decade, more people moved out of San Diego County last year than moved here from other U.S. locales – and economists say the trend could continue as local workers find it harder to cope with stagnant salaries, a high cost of living and skyrocketing home prices.” (SDUT, 6/12/05)
Condo conversions:
*
“Condo conversions are one of the hottest topics in real estate right now, with supporters touting them as a ready source of affordable housing and critics warning that they are reducing the supply of rental units for low-income families in the San Diego market.” (SDBJ, 7/18/05)
*
“Converted units may be an affordable alternative for many, but the price hasn’t exactly been standing still. In fact, the price in that segment has climbed by 42 percent during the past 24 months. Condominium conversions account for about 51 percent of the new attached market.” (The Daily Transcript/MarketPointe Realty Advisors, 4/21/05)
Apartment shortages and rents in San Diego:
*
The average apartment rent in San Diego is $1,236 – a nearly 100 percent increase from 1990, when average rents were $643 (The Daily Transcript/Associated Press 7/21/05)
*
“Nearly all the apartment units being constructed are in the luxury category…In fact, units built since 1998 are averaging $1,581 per month, compared to $1,091 [for] units built prior to 1998, reflecting a 45 percent premium for newer units.” (The Daily Transcript /MarketPoint Realty Advisors 3/28/05)

*
The national apartment vacancy rate is currently at nine percent. (The Daily Transcript, 8/25/05)
Housing policy and trends

“Inclusionary zoning has surfaced as one policy solution to rising housing costs in big cities…San Diego is a “trail-blazing example that other urban centers can follow.” (American Planners Association, Zoning Practice, October 2004)
*
“The [San Diego] region has effectively made a big investment in ‘low-value-added jobs’ through its support of tourism and now faces problems with a populace increasingly unable to afford housing in the area,” said Marney Cox, lead economist for the San Diego Association of Governments. (SDUT, 8/30/05)
*
Imperial Valley: “Developments are exploding all over the Imperial Valley, and homebuyers and developers of all kinds don’t seem to mind the heat…’It’s the only affordable market left for Southern California,’ said John Trotter of Capstone Advisors. ‘People are moving east to buy homes in Imperial County, and it’s going to continue to grow because of affordable housing,’ said Mitch Mitchell of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce. The average price of a new single-family detached home…in Imperial Valley is $293,707.” (The Daily Transcript, 5/23/05)
