3-Bedroom Homes for Sale in Carlsbad
February 2020 Update - Detached Single Family Homes
Carlsbad home buyers are often interested in buying a 3-bedroom detached single family home when it’s time to buy a new home, or the first one.
Some Carlsbad buyers are first time home buyers, while others are down-sizing from a larger house. A 3-bedroom might specifically meet desired lifestyle and budgetary needs. And other buyers are looking for a Carlsbad beach home, near or on the ocean, and are willing to settle for a 3-bedroom home to be on or close to the beach, given the limited options.

The inventory of single family detached homes has increased only modestly in Carlsbad since the end of December, and inventory for the last 3 months is lower than it’s been since January 2018. Thus the housing market remains one that favors sellers due to supply and buyer demand (read the Carlsbad Real Estate Market Report for January 2020 for more details on the Carlsbad housing market).
Currently, based on the rate of sales in the last 3 months, we have only 1 month of single family detached homes with 3-bedrooms available, a market strongly favoring home sellers. If buyers are interested in a property they likely need to move quickly and be prepared with a strong offer.
3-bedroom homes make up only 15% of the current inventory of detached single family homes for sale in Carlsbad.

While some buyers prefer new homes many are interested in resales, and of course there is a larger selection of these. Current 3-bedoom listings range in age from 1972 to newly-built or under construction. Buyers can expect some additional releases of new home – let me know if you are interested so we can stay in touch.
