In a recent article by the Union Tribune, first-time homebuyers in San Diego County have seen a slight increase in their affordability. In the opening months of 2010 interest rates remained low and prices stayed relatively flat allowing affordability of first-time home buyers to reach 58 percent. It was the third straight quarter to quarter increase and paralleled a similar climb statewide.
