Historically, we have considered our market to be relatively ‘healthy’ when the actives-to-pendings ratio is around 2.0 – but that thought originated when prices were about half of what they are today!

Here are the stats for the NSDCC detached-home market (La Jolla to Carlsbad):

Considering that we have record-high pricing in most areas, it is phenomenal to see so many pendings – and so few actives!

Actives Median Price = $2,350,000

Pendings Median Price = $1,299,000

Only 10% of the actives are under $1,000,000, and 35% are over $3,000,000!

Here are the Actives/Pendings ratios for each area.  If you remove La Jolla and RSF, the A/P = 432/336, or 1.29 to 1!
