Investors and home buyers that will live in the property are going for it while the home loan rates are artificially low and great low prices. San Diego county is doing better than other cities around the country due to location and we were one of the 1st state to deal with the foreclosure market 5 years ago.

The bigevent that investors are doing is buying foreclosures and flipping them as a rehabbed property, then selling to regular buyers. There are renovation loans where you can do it also. One loan to purchase and renovate, then they are combined to one loan when completed.
The second big event is buying condo’s with homeowner association issues due to high delinquencies in their financial budget and or low owner occupancy rate. These problems cause it to have difficulty to get low down payment buyer financing, therefore the price are low and great bargains. The investors on the condo’s are buying and holding. As the market eventually returns to non distressed market these low condo prices will go higher and making great equity investments.
