According to reports by Trulia, Inc., on average 22% of homes presently in the United States real estate market have gone through at least one price cut.  This is the lowest level of price reductions reported since April 2009, when this real estate search site started tracking price drops.  From November to December a 12% decrease was noted in the total amount cut from home prices.

The Southern states report the lowest level of price reductions seen nationwide, 19% of current listings experienced at least one price cut.  The Northeast experienced the highest level of price reductions, with 25% of listings facing price cuts.  The West, including the Downtown San Diego Real Estate market reported 20% of listings with price reductions.

The largest level of home price reductions was seen in November, with Downtown San Diego Condo homeowners racing to meet the old tax credit expiration date.  Home prices are currently stabilizing, but it is predicted that with the tax credit deadline extending to April 30, 2010 there will once again be an increase in price reductions. 

Luxury homes, which are homes selling for over 2 million dollars have suffered the hardest hit on the Downtown San Diego real estate market.  On average, these homes are being offered at a 14% discount from the original asking price.  This is a considerable amount compared to the 10% reduction seen on homes selling for fewer than 2 million dollars.

Today's historically low interest rates are driving many to purchase a new home in the Downtown San Diego Real Estate market or refinance their current mortgage.  If you are considering either one of these options the following information may help you decide if it is currently the right time for it.

Historically Low Interest Rates

Interest rates are extremely low at this time due to mortgage-backed securities purchased by the Federal Reserve since January 2009.  This purchase program was established to stabilize the housing market by making homes more affordable to consumers.  These rates are possibly the lowest the market will see.

Rates Will Not Stay Low for Long

According to a panel of experts on Bankrate.com, rates are expected to rise over the next 30 to 45 days and with the purchase program reaching its end on March 30, 2010 it is highly unlikely that interest rates will stay low for long.

If Purchasing a Home

To be able to obtain the lowest interest rates possible on the Downtown San Diego Condos, your credit must be in good standing and you should be able to put down a considerable down payment.  Also be mindful of the fees involved, which differ according to lender.

If Refinancing Your Home

Keep in mind that a larger loan will result in a greater payoff for finding a low interest rate.  Take advantage of helpful tools such as online refinancing calculators.  These will help you determine monthly savings and the amount of time it will take to recover from the cost of refinancing.

Benefits of Buying Now

There are many reasons to buy a home now, not only are the interest rates at an all time low but there are a considerable amount of Downtown San Diego Homes in the market offered at marked-down prices.  In addition, consumers benefit from the extended and expanded federal tax credit.
