CA DRE warns of scammers impersonating real estate licensees

The Calif. Dept. of Real Estate recently released a warning that scammers are increasingly impersonating real estate agents and brokers by using their photos, names, license numbers and other information to create fake social media accounts, using Tik Tok and craigslist listings to illegally engage in activities that require a license from the state, such as home buying and property management.

DRE advises consumers and licensees to be aware of scams that involve the misuse of the names of legitimate real estate licensees. If a real estate professional contacts you, get the name of the person calling, emailing, making a solicitation or offering services, look that person up on the DRE website (www.dre.ca.gov), locate a telephone number for the brokerage or service from another source than the person contacting you, and speak with the licensee.

San Diego County among least affordable as housing improves statewide
Source: MSN

Housing affordability in California improved slightly in 2025, but San Diego County remained among the least affordable markets, while significant gaps persisted for Black households, according to a report released Friday by the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.). According to C.A.R., 19 percent of California households earned enough income to purchase a median-priced home in 2025, up from 18 percent the previous year.

In San Diego County, affordability was among the lowest in the state, with 17 percent of all households able to afford a median-priced home. Among demographic groups, 23 percent of Asian households and 21 percent of white non-Hispanic households could afford a home, compared to just 11 percent of Hispanic/Latino households — among the lowest rates statewide — and 11 percent of Black households, according to the report. The statewide median price for a detached home was &875,550 in 2025. A minimum annual income of $221,200 was required to afford monthly payments of about $5,530, including taxes and insurance, assuming a 20 percent down payment and a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 6.71 percent.

There’s great news for those seeking a place to live in Southern California with the prices for condominiums in the area dropping to their lowest point in more than 12 years. The median home sale price in February for a condo in the six major SoCal counties came in at $656,000, according to property tracking site ATTOM. That price is down 6 percent compared to last year, when condos hit a peak of $699,000. The price plummet shows the biggest drop for condos in the area over a 12-month span since February 2012.

However, median prices for single family homes did not follow the same trend. In LA, the median price for a single-family home costs 31 percent more than a condo, per Homes.com. The median condo price in March fell 4.5 percent in LA, compared to single family homes that dropped 1.8 percent compared to the prior year. The report cited a 17.7 percent jump in growth in LA condo inventory compared to single family homes year over year, which could be a contributing factor to the price cuts.

How AI is intensifying real estate fraud

The threat that artificial intelligence poses to cybersecurity means that scammers are increasingly leveraging AI tools to scam homeowners, buyers and sellers. Experts warn that scammers are using tools like ChatGPT to generate polished, highly convincing phishing emails that erase many of the traditional red flags used to spot scams.

Technically, OpenAI prohibits the use of its models to generate malware, facilitate fraud of deception, or engage in any illegal activity. Its systems are designed to refuse direct requests to write phishing emails or build scam websites. However, they can still lower the barrier for bad actors and help streamline research, refine language, and scale the kind of content that underpins phishing campaigns. Voice cloning is challenging the tools that traditionally protect email accounts via detection of suspicious domains or email headers. While someone might pause to verify an email’s origin, they are less likely to hesitate if someone calls who sounds like their boss. Powerful new AI models like Anthropic’s Mythos tool could make fraud detection much harder.

The Middle-Class Homeownership Act has officially qualified for the state’s November ballot as part of the campaign to build new housing and make home loans affordable for middle-class Californians. The measure enables middle-income Californians to purchase a new home with only 3 percent down, while spurring a wave of new home construction, at no cost to taxpayers.

The measure would authorize $25 billion in revenue bonds to provide low-interest, downpayment-assistance loans to eligible Californians. It will also fuel construction of approximately 190,000 new homes, generating significant economic benefits across the state. For more information, go to www.cahomescoalition.com.

In more than 60 percent of metro areas, the occupations most likely to own homes today are different from what they were a decade ago, according to new data from the National Association of REALTORS®. NAR reports that some jobs make it easier to become a homeowner than others. While higher salaries play a role, factors like job stability and the geographic locations of jobs are also important. It depends mostly on affordability. Earning a high salary in a high-cost market might not be enough, while in more affordable markets, even lower-paying jobs can have higher homeownership rates.

Management and business roles were the most likely to own homes, with homeownership rates at 72.2 percent nationally compared to 72.4 percent in 2014. Across the country, 67.3 percent of teachers and social service professionals own their homes, a small decline from 68 percent in 2014. Engineers, computer scientists and other STEM and technical professionals had a homeownership rate of 67.2 percent, down from 69.2 percent in 2014. Sales and real estate professionals’ homeownership rates rose to 63.3 percent today from 60.8 percent in 2014. Approximately 62.2 percent of health care workers own their homes today, up from 61.8 percent in 2014, while 62 percent of electricians, carpenters and other skilled trades workers own their home – slightly higher than 61.2 percent in 2014.

Gap in number of home sellers and buyers widens — the biggest on record

There were an estimated 46.3% more home sellers than buyers in the U.S. housing market in February (or 629,808 more, in numerical terms), according to a new report from Redfin, the real estate brokerage powered by Rocket. That’s the largest gap in records dating back to 2013 and is up from 29.8% (or 449,409) a year earlier.

When sellers outnumber buyers, buyers typically hold the negotiating power because they have a lot of options to choose from. That’s why a market with a lot more sellers than buyers is considered a buyer’s market. Of course, it’s only a buyer’s market for those who can afford to buy. High housing costs and economic uncertainty have caused many house hunters to retreat, creating an imbalance of buyers and sellers.

Home flippers see smallest profits since the Great Recession
Source: CNBC

Higher mortgage rates, high home prices and tight supply are all conspiring to squeeze investors in the home flipping play. In all of 2025, roughly 297,000 single-family homes and condos were flipped nationwide, according to ATTOM, a real estate data provider, which defines a flip as a home purchased and sold in the same 12-month period. That was a decrease of 3.9 percent from 2024 and the lowest number of flips in any year since 2020. Investor flips accounted for 7.4 percent of all 2025 homes sales, down from 7.6 percent in 2024.

Flips are falling because profits are making it less and less worth it. With the backdrop of the highest median home prices on record, the typical home flip netted investors just $65,981 in gross profit, or a 25.5 percent return on investment, according to ATTOM. That is down from 32 percent the prior year and the lowest rate since the Great Recession in 2008. For comparison, profit margins were higher than 50 percent in the boom decade following the financial crisis, peaking at 61 percent in 2012, which is around the time home prices bottomed out.

Home prices are continuing to fall and inventory is rising, according to new Realtor.com data for the week ending March 14 – making way for a more buyer-friendly market. The report reveals that the number of homes for sale this year exceeds 2025 levels, with active inventory rising 5.6 percent year over year.

Meanwhile, the median list price fell 2.3 percent year over year, marking the 21st straight week of negative or flat growth, according to the report. Mortgage rates, though up slightly in recent weeks, are still down significantly from a year ago. Even historically tight West Coast markets such as San Diego and San Jose are seeing double-digit monthly increases of inventory. That shift should give buyers more options and a bit more bargaining power this spring.
