Today we wrap up the 50-week look at the number of NSDCC active and pending listings for 2023 (above). Last year’s market was the only one that was somewhat comparable to this year, so here’s how 2022 looked for the same 50 weeks:

Second week of December, 2022: 329 actives. 107 pendings

Second week of December, 2023: 332 actives, 118 pendings

Those who are betting that 2024 inventory will look a lot like the last two years probably won’t be disappointed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is how the last two years looked for their pricing quartiles:

2022

2023

Whoa….a much-different look! Once the higher mortgage rates took the fluff out of the list prices last summer, the market has been fairly steady. How about the sales prices?

First Quarter, 2022: 537 sales, median sales price $2,350,000

First Quarter, 2023: 408 sales, median sales price $2,100,000

Third Quarter, 2023: 522 sales, median sales price $2,150,000

Jay Powell can say he crashed the market – and this is how it looks today between La Jolla and Carlsbad.

    Good to see we have gotten past pandemic distortions. Year over year “work” again. Those quartiles are useful to expose market conditions. My cracked and foggy magic 8 ball says as mortgage rates hold/decline that prices will hold but listings will sit longer.
