Cardiff Real Estate Market Report for January 2011
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 an informed 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 and the diversity of homes for sale.

The number of homes sold in Cardiff in December declined across the board; average sales prices declined overall and for detached homes (3 of the 4 homes were well under $1M in contrast to last month), but rose for attached homes (both were short sales and sold for over asking price). Given the very small number of homes sold, however, it is unwise to draw any conclusions about trends, especially given pricing.
At the end of January 2011 there were 8 homes in the Cardiff real estate market with a Contingent status, 2 more than last month (i.e., short sale and REO homes that had offers being reviewed by the lenders). Until approved these homes are considered active and are included in the Active statistics below.
As of January 2011 there were 56 Cardiff homes for sale, compared to 58 last month. This represents an inventory of only 3.8 months for attached homes (down from 4.4 months in December) and 9.5 months for detached homes (up from 9 months in December).
18 Cardiff homes came on the market in December, a 63% increase over last month. While only 1 home went under contract during December (perhaps not a surprise with the holidays), 12 did so in January 2011.

Your photo looks wonderful - Cardiff looks like a beautiful place to live.

Jeff, Now THIS is great information that any buyer or seller in Cardiff needs to see. What a great presentation of your market! You truly do know your market my friend!
Jeff - As always a fully informative market report for beautiful Cardiff! No wonder so many home sellers and buyers hire your professional Realty services!
Hi Jeff,
Interesting info for beautiful Cardiff. It was only after reading your report that I realized how small of a community this is.
Billie - Cardiff is a wonderful community, with great views, but it's not right for those looking for an upscale shopping and dining downtown. The beachy/surfer feel of this community is what draws folks.
Tish - the San Elijo Lagoon area where I took that is a spectacular preservation effort. The visitors center is very ecologically grounded.
Elizabeth - what a nice compliment. I love this community!
Nevin - and of course YOU know this community, too.
Lynda - I am not sure of the population but it's probably no more than 10-12,000
