Why Use a REALTOR with a GRI?
Buying a home is often the single biggest investment a person will make; a complex and often stressful task that requires the assistance of a real estate practitioner with the abilities to effectively guide clients through the complicated process.
Those who earn the nationally recognized GRI designation have attended at least 90 hours of classroom instruction, providing an in-depth understanding of all aspects of residential real estate.
GRI designates are prepared to perform at the highest level of professionalism, with a keen understanding of the transaction and what it takes to help you achieve your goals. They understand the home buying and selling process, and have the experience necessary
GRIs are:
- Nationally recognized as top performers in the real estate industry.
- Professionally trained.
- Knowledgeable.
- Dedicated to bringing you quality service.

A GRI can make a difference When you see the letters “GRI” after a REALTORS name, you can count on getting the best service available from a real estate professional. GRI designates are trained to understand new technologies, laws and procedures that will keep them at the forefront of the real estate industry. Only members of the REALTOR association who are committed to adhering to a strict Code of Ethics can use the term REALTOR and only REALTORS can earn the GRI designation
The Choice is yours! Make it count.

Not only does Rancho Bernardo have some of the best schools (Poway Unified School District) and it is also known for being one of California’s safest communities. It’s easy to see why Rancho Bernardo has become one of the most desirable spots in the country.

San Diego Housing Market Trends – Get the Facts
Posted by Diane White | Leave A Comment »
San Diego’s housing market has been discussed repeatedly recently and with mixed data, forecasts and opinions.
On January 20th, the headline was “County Leads Region in Home-Price Gain.
Some of the points covered were:
- San Diego County had a 10% increase in December over 2008.
- Coastal counties typically fare better due to living preference and lack of new development.
- 35.8% of resales in December were foreclosures, up from 32.6% in Novemeber.
On January 25th the headline was “Housing Data Show County’s Ups, Downs”. On January 26th it was “Local Home Prices on the Upswing”.
Some of the points covered were:
- Starter-home market at $350,000 has stabilized and appears to be rising while inventory has decreased.
- Higher-priced properties are still eroding. (Note; not in all areas)
- San Diego prices were up for the seventh straight month.
On January 27th the headline was “Housing Prices Buck Trend”.
Some of the highlghts are:
- San Diego was one of only four areas nationally to see an upturn beginning late last year.
- Home prices here were up 56.1 percent from 2000.
- Even if prices dip a bit over the next few months, buyers should be aware that any interest rate hike will wipe out marginal drop in prices.
And finally on January 28th, the header was “San Diego Area Foreclosures Jump; Defaults Slump” . Observations noted include:
- Analysts see this as a stabilizing market:
- Foreclosures pave the way for purchases by financially strong buyers.
- Fewer defaults mean either a decline in distressed owners or more loan modifying.
- Banks are not moving quickly to list properties for sale – possibly hoping prices will rise.
Overall the consensus is the housing market is stabilizing. With interest rates so very low, prices still lower than they were and the tax credit that was extended to April 30th, it is a great opportunity for buyers. And with low inventory and multiple offers, it may be the right time to sell!
