Believe it or not, summer is over, and fall is here. It has been a hot, dry summer, so I’m waiting for temperatures to drop, so I can spend more time in the garden. Over the summer, Escondido set an all-time high for July sales. Detached homes had a median sales price of $1,044,000, which beat the previous record of $1,040,000, set in June 2024. During the month of August, no new sales records were
Hello, Summer! While lots of people are talking about how prices are going down, June sales in North County doesn’t show lower prices. For June sales of detached homes, both Carlsbad and Vista set new all-time highs last month. In other North County cities, prices are stable. Many stay close to their all-time highs – and most of these records were set in the past year. So what about inventory? More homeowners are deciding to
We are almost halfway done with the year! Prices are still high – and Carlsbad set a new all-time high last month. The median sales price for detached homes in May 2025 was $1,950,000. In other North County cities, prices are stable. Many stay close to their all-time highs – and most of these records were set in the past year. So what about inventory?

As we begin the last month of Q2, we see that the real estate market has shifted since the beginning of the year.

The first quarter of 2025 is almost over, and as the weather warms up, so does the San Diego real estate market. The winter season was busier than most people expected, and many expect even more activity during spring. No sales records were set in February, but prices remain stable, and inventory has already increased 17% since January. The number of days on market started growing at the end of 2024 and beginning of 2025.
Welcome to a new year! I kept all of 2023 and 2024 in the price and inventory graphs below. Usually, we expect December to be a relatively slow month for real estate. There aren’t as many homes on the market, and many people put their home buying on hold for the holidays. So imagine my surprise when Oceanside set a NEW RECORD for sales price, at $1,031,000. Also, there was very little change in inventory
Throughout 2024, we have seen a stable market, although it has been slow and often frustrating for home buyers. The high rates are keeping many would-be sellers from losing their below 3% mortgages. At the same time, the 7% rates are limiting choices for would-be buyers. Looking at November 2024 sales numbers, and, same as last month, North San Diego County hasn’t set any new price records. Still, prices remain high, and inventory has dropped
Happy Thanksgiving! I just checked October 2024 sales numbers, and this is the first time in a while that North San Diego County hasn’t set any new price records.

Compared to September sales, the number of days on market for October sales was slightly lower. Earlier this
Happy Halloween! The weather is finally showing signs of cooling off, just in time for the beginning of the holiday season. As usual, though, the San Diego real estate market doesn’t show any signs of slowing down or cooling off. Last month, Carlsbad and San Marcos set NEW records for detached home sales prices! In spite of high sales prices, one number has changed over the past two months. The number of days on market
Fall is already here, and the real estate market continues to hold steady. Last month, August sales prices set a new all-time record for Oceanside detached homes. The number of days on market in North County is still low. Most homes sell within two weeks of listing in the MLS. But what about interest rates? The good news is that the Federal Reserve dropped the federal funds rate by .5% last week. However, that doesn’t
Summer is winding down, but the real estate market is holding steady. For the first time in a while, last month’s median sales prices didn’t set any new records in North County. Still, you can see below that the median sales prices have been consistent throughout the year. Good news for home buyers: inventory has continued to rise slowly. Between late July and late August, the number of detached homes across six North County cities
