| Posted February 8, 2010 Built to sell: Local response to a changing market By Roger Showley, UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER Sunday, February 7, 2010 at 12:04 a.m. San Diego County home builders, who downsized and scraped by in 2009, are coming back in the opening weeks of 2010 with more than a dozen new projects that feature smaller and simpler floor plans, lower prices, more use of sustainable “green” technology, and less frills and waste than was common in the oversize “McMansions” of the past decade. Buyers seem eager see what’s new, judging by the 2,500 people who showed up at Pardee Homes’ 108-home Terramar project, which opened Jan. 16 east of Carmel Valley, and the 11 buyers at the ColRich Group’s 38-unit Solterra, who are in escrow even before the grand opening Feb. 20 in La Costa.

Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller Home Price Index for November showed San Diego-area prices up nearly 0.4 percent from both October 2009 and November 2008. On a seasonally adjusted basis, it was up 1 percent from October and up 0.4 percent year over year.

The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage was 4.99 percent, down from 5.06 percent a week earlier, mortgage company Freddie Mac said Thursday. It was the third-straight weekly decline. The drop comes after interest rates fell in the bond market this week as concerns about the economy increased demand for the safety of government debt, which is closely tied to mortgage rates.
