2nd Quarter Contest

by | Jun 10, 2009 | Contests | 59 comments

The second quarter is wrapping up quick, so a great chance to win!

Guess the number of detached sales in San Diego for 2Q09. 

For the tie-breaker, take a stab at the average $$-per-sf too. 

Here are the stats from the last few years:

Year # of Sales $$/sf
2000 6,620 $174.86
2001 6,358 $196.19
2002 7,358 $221.47
2003 7,371 $254.73
2004 7,960 $377.54
2005 7,724 $361.65
2006 5,767 $368.96
2007 4,899 $357.88
2008 5,020 $278.15

So far there have been 4,240 detached closings in 2Q09, at an average of $219.02/sf. There are also 3,405 detached listings that were marked pending between March 1st and May 31st.

We’ll take the final tally on July 23rd, to allow for the late-reporters. Because the Padres will likely be buried in the division by then, we’ll have a different prize for the closest guess.

One of horse-racing’s professional handicappers is a friend of the blog, and has generously donated a set of SIX tickets for his prime box seats overlooking the finish line at the DMTC.

The contest winner gets a day at the track at Del Mar!

(Date to be arranged, but we can probably accomodate your schedule)

We’ll take guesses until Friday night, June 12th.

    Del Mar? Now you’re talking! BTW, my family actually raised a horse than ran $100K claimers there for years. Unfortunately we didn’t own him at the time.

    Let’s note that besides the wow-factor of where these box seats are, you will also have waitress service provided.

    But it has been proven that there is no relationship between the luck you have picking the ponies, and the number of Del Margaritas consumed.

    Off-topic but I gotta ask,

    Jim / other realtors,

    Outside of speculators, who are your buyers in SD right now?

    Just curious
