General 2010 stats from the San Diego MLS:

Total listings:

2009 – 70,744

2010 – 73,437  (+4%)

The additional were probably all re-lists.

Total Sales, Detached and Attached:

2009 = 35,240

2010 = 32,727  (-7%)

Lower sales reflect the difficulty of finding good deals – most buyers would rather wait.

Cost-per-sf, Days-on-market:

2009 – $223/sf, 63 DOM

2010 = $238/sf, 70 DOM  (+7% on pricing)

The cost-per-sf metric is going to fluctuate 5% or so in either direction most years from now on.

Detached solds only:

2009 – 22,571, $229/sf, 61 DOM

2010 – 20,641, $247/sf, 66 DOM (-9% sales, +8% on pricing)

Part of the squeeze for quality – SFRs better than condos.

North San Diego County Coastal, Detached and Attached Solds:

2009 – 3,632 sales, $371/sf,  74 DOM

2010 – 3,861 sales, $363/sf, 72 DOM (+6% sales, -2% pricing)

Remarkable stability for a higher-end area.

North San Diego County Coastal, Detached Solds, by price range:

Price Range 2009 2010
0-$800,000 1,044 sales, $304/sf 1,106 sales, $312/sf

$1.2M+ 541 sales, $616/sf 623 sales, $527/sf

They need to make a movie about this operation.

San Diego SFR Foreclosures (trustee sales from foreclosureradar.com)

2009 – 8,732 (6,883 REOs/1,849 third-party buys)

2010 – 7,441 (5,132 REOs/2,309 third-party buys)

15% drop-off, could use a surge just to catch up.

NSDCC SFR Foreclosures (trustee sales)

2009 – 437 (365/72)

2010 – 450 (316/134)

There were only 196 sold REO listings on the MLS in 2010, so there are some NSDCC bank-owneds laying around somewhere. But 100 or so properties in process aren’t enough to tilt the scale. There are some REO listing agents who aren’t marking their listings as REOs on the MLS too.

Highest Sale:

2009 – $18,150,000 for 1900 Spindrift, La Jolla:

2010 – $10,000,000 for 9882 La Jolla Farms Rd., La Jolla:
