Rancho Santa Fe Real Estate Market Report for December 2010

Inn at Rancho Santa Fe

As a buyer or seller in the Rancho Santa Fe real estate market, having information about the current market conditions will enable you to make an informed decision regarding what to do with regard to buying or selling a Rancho Santa Fe home. 

The Rancho Santa Fe real estate market is very localized, and the most expensive community, on average, in San Diego County. Knowing what is going on in the market with regard to inventory and sales is important for making a buying or selling decision. Finding comparables for determining price for either a listing or a purchase can sometimes be tricky since many high-end properties are unique.

The number of detached homes sold in Rancho Santa Fe increased substantially over the prior month; average prices for detached homes also increased as did the overall average price. Both attached homes that sold were distress sales - 1 short sale and 1 REO, selling at list price in one case and slightly over in the over.

As of the end of December there were 12 homes in the Rancho Santa Fe real estate market with a Contingent status (i.e., short sale and REO homes that had offers being reviewed), the same as last month, and, thus, are included in the Active statistics below. We are seeing more high end homes (over $1 million) that are short sales and REOs with offers being reviewed.

As of December 2010 there were 248 Ranch Santa Fe homes for sale (97% of these are detached), 9% less than last month, the 4th month of inventory decline, perhaps not surprising at this time of year. This represents an inventory of 3.4 months for attached homes (down from 5.5 months in November), and 16.4 months for detached homes at the current rate of sales (based on a 6-month period), which is down from 16.8 months in November.

The number of Rancho Santa Fe homes coming on the market in December declined again: 20 as opposed to 25 last month, with 12 homes going pending during the same period, 8 less than in November.
