19 homes sold in Del Mar in September 2018, almost double the number of sales (up 90%) from last month. Here's a summary of what happened:
TOTAL HOMES SOLD
19 (up 90%), 31 Days on Market, Ave. Sales Price $1,871,776 (up 47%), Ave. sale 94% of asking price
Detached Homes Sold
13 (up 225%), 27 Days on Market, Ave. Sales Price $2,132,953 (up 20%), Ave. sale 94% of asking price
Attached Homes (condos, town homes) Sold
6 (no change), 41 Days on Market, Ave. Sales Price $1,305,891 (up 39%), Ave. sale 95% of asking price
Overall sales for September rose significantly for detached home sales but remained unchanged for attached. Average sale prices increased for detached homes (in large part due to the sale of 3 homes over $3M that raised the average), and for attached homes. Average marketing time decreased for both detached and attached home sales.
The median price for detached homes increased to $2,300,000 (up 33%), and to $1,251,000 (up 27%) for attached home sales in September compared to last month.
Buyers were able to negotiate, on average, 5 - 6% off list price in September sales; 2 detached homes (11%) sold for above asking price. 53% of the sales were cash transactions, compared to 20% in August.
In September there no Del Mar homes on the market with a Contingent status, compared to 1 last month (i.e., these are typically, but not always, homes with offers being reviewed by short sale and REO lenders).
We saw a slight increase in new listings in September over August, from 36 to 37 (up 3%). The number of Del Mar homes going pending (excluding homes that sold), however, decreased, from 16 to 12 (down 25%).
There were 94 Del Mar homes for sale at the end of September, 4 more than last month (up 4%). At the current rate of sales over a 3-month period, this represents an inventory of 7.3 months for detached homes (down from 7.6 months last month), and 3.8 months for attached properties (up from 3 months last month); the Del Mar housing market is now a balanced market for detached homes, and remains a strong sellers market for attached homes.
As with any statistic, 1 month does not establish a trend, so it’s important to watch the Del Mar housing market over a period of time. One should not draw any firm conclusions regarding pricing, or other trends, because of the extremes in sales prices of Del Mar properties, as well as the overall modest number of home sales each month.
