San Diego could be a top real estate market in 2024 if mortgage rates drop and sales pick up, a new forecast says. She forecasts the San Diego metro, which includes all of San Diego County, will see sales increase by 11 percent in 2024 and prices will increase 5.4 percent. The top market was Toledo, Ohio, which the website said would see 14 percent sales growth and 8.3 percent price growth. It was followed by Oxnard (18 percent sales increase, 3.3 percent price growth) and Rochester, New York (sales up 6.2 percent, 10.4 percent price growth). Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the National Association of Realtors, was less optimistic about high-cost markets like San Diego.
