In Oceanside there were 293 homes with a contingent status at the end of December, down modestly from November. This represents 44% of all the homes for sale. Buyers entering the Oceanside real estate market are seeing almost 1/2 of the inventory already with offers in for approval for short sales and REOs. (Note: these are not the only short sale and REO homes for sale, just those with offers). These contingent homes are included in the overall Active stats below. 

At the end of December 2009 the Oceanside real estate market had 669 homes for sale, down 6% from November which had dropped 7% from October. This represents an inventory of 2.6 months for detached homes (down from 2.8 months in November) and 4 months for attached homes (down slightly from November) based on the current rate of sales over the last 6 months.  The Oceanside real estate market is getting tighter and more competitive at the moment. 

In December 195 Oceanside homes came on the market, 41% more than last month, which means more inventory for buyers and hopefully more sales next month. During December 165 homes went pending, the same as last month. 

More details can be provided with regard to current activity in the Oceanside real estate market and within the specific zip codes.

2.6 months of inventory... wow that is not bad at all. In Jan 09 we were at 22 months statewide...now were down to about 7 months. Still very much a Buyers market over here.

Monika - that's a pretty significant change there. Most of our markets in my area have shifted to low inventory at the lower price points - truly a seller's or banks market under $300K.  NOt so true in the midrange - still great for buyers, especially high end.
