Most notable is the large increase in sales volume over February, up 35%, due primarily to the 13 attached homes sold in March, a whopping increase over the 2 sold in February; 18 detached homes sold (a decline from 21 February sales). This large increase in the lower priced attached homes likely contributes to the declines in the average and median prices for Encinitas homes sales in March 2009.
At the end of March 2009 there were 265 Encinitas homes for sale, a 2% increase over February which had increased over January. This represents an inventory of 7.1 months for attached homes, about the same as in February, and 10.1 months for detached homes at the current rate of sales, an increase from 9.1 months in February (based on a 6-month period).
67 Encinitas homes came on the market in March (54 detached and 13 attached), compared to 71 the previous month (a modest decrease of 6%), with 38 going pending during the same time period (26 detached, 12 attached), an increase by 9% over February.
It is noteworthy that 16 of the homes that came on the market in March also went under contract in March (24% of the new listings).
These data are based on information provided by the MLS for homes that went under contract in the last couple of months.

Hi Jeff, Seems like a quiet day here in the Rain. How was the REBar camp? I need to read down in some of your posts for some of the great insights you most likely shared. This past two weeks has been great for business and I haven't had the time to even post, though did write some things that need edited before bring to the Rain. I dropped in the ranks but as bad as that feels, the business I put into escrow was also important. So no complaints, traded one thing for another.
I hope things have also picked up for your business as well and I am sure it has. Your market report here reflects the general trend all over San Diego, Things are popping and I expect Spring will ultimately be said to have been the rise from the ashes that many of us had hoped for. ( at least the ones of that that don't spend every waking moment with REO's and Short Sales. It might be a bit premature to bring out the champagne but it certainly feels different from the last year and a half and it feels encouraging even if short lived.
