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).
