    The only sure thing in life is change, and a New Year means changes to everything, including the real esate market. Interest rate flucuations, seasonal downturns and ongoing demand for real estate have mixed together to make the housing market in San Diego look pretty stable.

I feel like I can't fail now!   As always, I am here for you, your family, and friends.   Your Forever Agent,    Hope Leitner, CRS, CalDRE #01874321 Hope Opens Doors   Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, C...
