Feb rates
January house sales between La Jolla and Carlsbad look pretty good, given the higher pricing and TRID fumbling.

Our good luck with sales should continue – rates are lower this month, plus February actually has one more business day than January, thanks to leap year!

I wouldn’t worry too much about the median sales price being lower, because the monthly comparisons have smaller sample sizes and more easily affected by the different mix of houses. The number of sales will probably catch last year’s count once the late-reporters are done, and the brisk 52 DOM is really cooking, given the higher pricing.
