The number of homes for sale between La Jolla and Carlsbad will probably decline for the rest of 2023, even though the pendings counts are as high as they have been all year.
Is the number of pendings higher because pricing is soft, and getting softer?
Generally, the list pricing is fairly steady…..of the unsold listings:
There probably won’t be a noticeable pricing dump the rest of the year – just the occasional deal – because the 2024 Spring Selling Season is only six months away. For most sellers, it’s better to wait, than dump.
