Sales of commercial properties in Opportunity Zones rose 12.4 percent to $52.3 billion in 2018 from the year before, according to preliminary CoStar data, a sign analysts say may mean demand throughout this year.

San Diego is ready for more modern housing. The market is seeing particularly high demand for multifamily housing options that have access to lifestyle amenities, like restaurants and entertainment. The proof lies in the incredible success of new developments, like Greystar’s Park 12, which specifically sought to bring highly amenitized housing to the San Diego market.
