As with any statistic, 1 month of numbers does not establish a trend, so it is important to watch what is and has been happening over a period of time. One should not draw any firm conclusions regarding pricing because of the extremes in the Del Mar real estate market, as well as the fairly small number of sales.

Jeff - Great real estate market report for Del Mar homes for sale.  Wow, $61M is definitely a hefty price tag, but I'm sure it's a magnificent home with a fantastic view.
