The San Diego rental market has kicked into high gear. With the spawn of companies like VRBO and Airbnb, homeowners are finding it easy to capitalize on the San Diego vacation rental market. Making it increasingly more difficult for renters to secure long-term leases in desirable areas. To find a rental one must allow time to check Craigslist, Zillow, Hot Pads and other sites and to be efficient almost on an hourly basis. Being first to respond makes all the difference and with hundreds of people looking for rentals the market is hyper-competitive. Another option is cruising the neighborhoods looking for For Rent signs, which a lot of other people are privy too as well. This may sound overwhelming and like a ton of work!

As agents, we do our best to help buyers walk the fine line of seeing their dreams come true within the context of real economic constraints. Compromise can feel like a dirty word to some people, but the truth is most of us can’t afford every single thing on our list of wants. Odds are, if you’re buying a home for the first time, evaluating which compromises are acceptable is one of the greatest keys to successfully becoming a homeowner.
