Was March of 2009 the bottom for Downtown San Diego Real Estate sales?

This graph shows the total sales of Builder/Developer, Private Party Resales, Bank Owned and Short Sales during March 2009 to February 2010. The graph indicates that most Downtown San Diego Condos and Downtown San Diego Lofts are clearly sold during spring and fall. We can always ask ourselves why this is? A thought could be that families want to purchase in the spring time after the tax season or invest in a second home. For the fall situation a few reasons could be that home owners wants to get settled before the holidays or be settled in time for their kids going to school or college such as at San Diego City College, Tomas Jefferson School of Law or San Diego High School.

A superb location with Petco Park on one side and the new San Diego Public Library development site on the other. Icon has two entrances: 321 10th Avenue and 350 11th Avenue. Finished in January of 2007, the developers Levin/Menzies went to great lengths to make this one of the most unique and desirable complexes in all of Downtown San Diego. Icons amenities include: 26 story skybox with views into Petco Park and the San Diego Bay beyond, a fully equipped community room, large and spacious fitness center, a theater room, and 24 hour Community attendants and security.
