Cardiff-by-the-Sea Real Estate Market Report for March 2010

As a buyer or seller in the Cardiff 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 a home in Cardiff, or selling your Cardiff home. 

The Cardiff real estate market is small and very localized, and knowing what is going on 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 because of the limited inventory.

The number of homes sold in Cardiff in March more than tripled the number of homes sold in February, with dramatic increases for both detached single family homes and attached properties. Average sales prices also jumped significantly. Given the relatively small number of homes, however, it is unwise to draw any firm conclusions about trends, one way or the other.

At the end of March 2010 there were 9 homes in the Cardiff real estate market with a Contingent status, just 1 more than in February (i.e., short sale and REO homes that had offers being reviewed by the lenders). Until approved these homes are considered active and, thus, are included in the Active statistics below. 

As of March 2010 there were 71Cardiff homes for sale, up 18% over last month. This represents an inventory of 7.7 months for attached homes (up from 6.3 months in February) and 8.7 months for detached homes (down from 9.4 months in February). 

22 Cardiff homes came on the market in March, 3 less than in February, with 6 homes going pending during the same period (down from 9 in February).
