Recovering after the Wildfires in San Diego County

-
With all the wildfires in San Diego nearing 100% containment, residents of San Diego County are returning to their homes to assess the damage and begin the recovery process.  The County of San Diego offers its residents many resources to aid in the recovery and rebuilding of their property.  Information regarding this can be accessed through their website  sdcountyrecovery.com. 
According to the website, the County has opened a Recovery Liaison Office at the County Library’s San Marcos branch, located at 2 Civic Center Drive. The office will be open from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. this week, but please call the library at (760) 891-3000 to confirm that the office is still set up before visiting.    
The office can offer people whose homes were lost and damaged in the Cocos Fire help to obtain building permits, clear ash from swimming pools, safely handle food after a power outage and other recovery and rebuilding information.
According to a recent ABC news report, permit fees may be waived, but please confirm this report with the county when inquiring about building permits.
I trust the above is helpful to you.  My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who was affected by the fires.  Remember as long as we have our loved ones, everything else is replaceable!  Cherish your loved ones.  They are the ones who will help you get through challenging times.  If I can help in any way, please feel free to contact me.

If so, here’s some good news – based on what Ali Wolf, Chief Economist at   Zonda , has to   say   – smaller, more affordable homes are on the way: “Buyers should expect that over the next 12 to 24 months  there will be a notable increase in the number of entry-level homes available .” In some ways,  smaller homes  are already here. When the pandemic hit, the meaning of home changed. People needed the space their home provided not only as a place to live, but as a place to work, go to school, exercise, and more. Those who had that space were more likely to keep it. And those that didn’t were in a position where they were trying to sell their smaller house to move up to a larger one. That meant the homes coming to the market during the pandemic were smaller than those on the market before the pandemic – and that trend continues today ( see graph below ): This graph also  s
