Let’s judge this year by comparing the quarters vs. 2024:

Here’s how the market did between La Jolla and Carlsbad:

Buyers enjoyed the additional listings in the first quarter as sales and pricing both grew considerably.

But as the listing count kept growing, sales slowed and pricing hit the wall.

Note: Statistics are quirky. I checked it three times – the number of 2Q sales was an identical 510 both years! There will be a few more June sales added though before it’s over.
