Knowing the number of NSDCC listings in January will give us a feel for how hot the market might be for the rest of the year. If there is a big surge this month (more than +20% over last January’s count), then the market could get sluggish in a hurry. If there is only a modest increase – or maybe just the same as last year – then it’s going to be a fairly hot spring selling season.
There have been 26 new listings so far this month.
We will take guesses until Friday. Here are those received so far:
211 – Eddie89
213 – Shadash
246 – Anne M
267 – Surfrider
273 – Susie
280 – doughboy
303 – Tom
307 – Jun
317 – CB Mark
318 – Nick
328 – Majeed
337 – natalie
353 – Derek
355 – Skip
365 – Leo
421 – Giving Cat

In mid-February (to account for the late reporters), the guesser with the closest number will receive four tickets to a Padres game!

To give you an idea where our seats are, I took the photo above at last year’s wild-card playoff game vs. the Braves. The guy with the buzz-cut hairdo sitting next to the dugout is the owner of the Braves. Those seats are reserved for the visiting team’s owners, so you might meet some glitterati when you go! Autographs are certainly in play too, depending on the willingness of the players. Go early!
I may look like an outlier but I see no reason to change. I just see a lot of speculative listings and demographic changes favorable to higher numbers. A smart gambler would do well to stake out a number twixt Leo and I.
293 for the win!
216
298
401
“Dr k” is smart. Just staked out between 382 and 410.
After reading Giving_Cat’s advice, a hat tip to a sentimental number and the dream of meeting my mentor (since 2009) in real estate land (JtR), my new guess is 417. Sometimes you gotta gamble 🙂
What are you going to do if you win? The Padres don’t play in Idaho!

Jim, I’ve never won anything in my life. But I have an amazing idea if I do.
