Sale volume jumped dramatically in June over the May numbers. In addition, the average sales price of both detached and attached homes rose significantly. The average time on market remained about the same, with a drop for detached homes.
There were 157 homes (113 detached and 44 attached) homes on the market at the end of June with a Contingent status, i.e., homes with offers awaiting approval from the short sale and REO lenders. These homes are included in the overall Active stats since they are still considered active until the approvals are obtained.
At the end of June 2009 there were 345 San Marcos homes for sale (46% are contingent), an increase of 8% in total inventory from May, 17% less than at the beginning of 2009. This represents an inventory of 4.2 months for attached homes (as compared to 3.5 for May) and only 3.5 months for detached (compared to 2.5 months for May) based on the current rate of sales over the last 6 months. The market, then, remains competitive for buyers and properties are staying on the market for less time, along with the decline in inventory.
In June we saw 127 homes come on the market, more than double the number of homes that came on the market in May. During June 90 homes went pending, an increase of 8% over the number of pendings in May.
This overview of the San Marcos real estate market is based on information provided by the MLS for homes that went under contract in the last couple of months and closed in December. More details can be provided if needed with regard to current activity as well as within the specific zip codes of Carlsbad.
