The number of homes sold in Cardiff in May declined (by 1) from the previous month, with an increase in average sales prices for detached homes. 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 June 2010 there were 5 homes in the Cardiff real estate market with a Contingent status, 2 less than in May (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 June 2010 there were 79 Cardiff homes for sale, 8 more (11%) than last month. This represents an inventory of 8.6 months for attached homes (up from 7.6 months in May) and 8.6 months for detached homes (up from 7.7 months in May). 

23 Cardiff homes came on the market in May, 28% more than in May, with 10 homes going pending during the same period, just 1 less than last month.

The number of homes sold in Cardiff in May rose significantly from the previous month, with an increase in average sales prices for attached home but no change for detached.

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.

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.

The number of homes sold in Cardiff in January dropped significantly from December, and the small number of sales makes it unwise to draw any firm conclusions of the pricing trends (which dropped significantly) or other trends. 2 of the 5 sales were short sales.

At the end of January 2010 there were 8 homes in the Cardiff real estate market with a Contingent status (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 January 2010 there were 56 Cardiff homes for sale, the same as last month and the month prior. This represents an inventory of 5.1 months for attached homes (down from 6.8 months in December) and 7.4 months for detached homes (slightly up from 7.3 months in December). 

23 Cardiff homes came on the market in January, almost twice the number in December, which is good news for buyers, with 13 homes going pending during the same period, more than twice the number of homes going pending in December.

Cardiff Real Estate – A VIDEO Tour of the Poinsettia Heights Neighborhood in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California

Cardiff, or more properly known as Cardiff-by-the-Sea, is a small seaside community just south of Encinitas (they have their own zip code, 92007, but technically are part of Encinitas - town government, etc.). Cardiff has a long history as a surfing community, as many do in this area, and despite many changes in recent years - shops, restaurants, new and remodeled housing - it still retains the small-town feel so many residents and visitors enjoy.

Poinsettia Heights is a small, older and popular neighborhood located on the east side of the 5 freeway off Birmingham where prices are lower. Many of the homes in this neighborhood were the first in the area (built in 1961), which formerly was land belonging to the Ecke Family of poinsettia fame. Most of the homes are single story but many have been remodeled, or could be, often to take in the ocean views. Because of the proximity to the freeway you will have some noise depending on where the home is situated, as well as with the ocean breezes.

Cardiff real estate - Poinsettia Heights neighborhood viewed from across the freeway  Cardiff real estate - Poinsettia Heights neighborhood

There are 3 homes for sale in the Poinsettia Heights area of Cardiff right now, ranging in price from about $590,000 to $747,000 with 3 bedrooms and living areas from about 1100 SF to a bit over 1600 SF. A recent sale - a completely remodeled single story with no views and 1100+/- SF - was $600,000; another remodeled home with around 1500 SF sold recently for $749,000.

Cardiff Real Estate - Cardiff Real Estate Market Report for November 2009

Cardiff Real Estate Market report

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 two homes sold for $755,000 and $370,000                                                

The number of homes sold in Cardiff in November declined by 1 from October. Average sales prices dropped fairly significantly but it would be unwise to draw any firm conclusions of the pricing trends or other trends due to the small number of homes sold.

At the end of November there were 7 homes in the Cardiff real estate market with a Contingent status (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 November 2009 there were 56 Cardiff homes for sale, 3 more than last month. This represents an inventory of only 4.4 months for attached homes (up from 3.4 months in October 2009) and 9.3 months for detached homes (up from 8.4 months in October). 

12 Cardiff homes came on the market in November, the same as last month, with 9 homes going pending during the same period, 2 less than in October.

The number of homes sold in Cardiff in September declined, with 4 fewer homes sold than in September. Average sales prices dropped fairly significantly but it would be unwise to draw any firm conclusions of the pricing trends or other trends due to the small number of homes sold. The attached sale was a short sale; 1 detached sale was an REO and 1 was a short sale, thus distress sales accounted for 43% of the Cardiff sales in October.

At the end of October there were 8 homes in the Cardiff real estate market with a Contingent status (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 October 2009 there were 53 Cardiff homes for sale, 3 more than last month. This represents an inventory of only 3.4 months for attached homes (up from 2.9 months in September 2009) and 8.9 months for detached homes (up from 6.8 months in September). 

12 Cardiff homes came on the market in October, 1 more than in September, with 11 homes going pending during the same period, 1 less than in September.
