Rancho Santa Fe Real Estate Market for September 2010

The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

As a buyer or seller in the Rancho Santa Fe real estate market, having information about the current market conditions will enable you to make an informed decision regarding what to do with regard to buying or selling a Rancho Santa Fe home. 

The Rancho Santa Fe real estate market is very localized, and the most expensive community, on average, in San Diego County. Knowing what is going on in the market with regard to inventory and sales is important for making a buying or selling decision. Finding comparables for determining price for either a listing or a purchase can sometimes be tricky.

The number of detached homes sold in Rancho Santa Fe increased significantly from last month, and average prices increased substantially as well. For the third month in a row there were no attached home sales.  

As of the end of September there were 15 homes in the Rancho Santa Fe real estate market with a Contingent status (i.e., short sale and REO homes that had offers being reviewed) and, thus, are included in the Active statistics below.

Finding comps for high-end properties is truly a challenge since the market slowdown.  It is more important than ever to work with a real estate agent with long-term knowledge of the area.

Jeff, high end properties here in Raleigh NC have suffered the greatest loss over the past 18 months or so.  Your absorption rate says about the same for homes in Rancho Santa Fe.  Excellent report for your clients to use when moving forward to buy or sell a home in Rancho Santa Fe real estate...

Norma - indeed. It is quite difficult, and there is so much variation.

Pamela - same here. And the really high-end is not selling (over $10 or $15 million)

I spoke with a couple of agents who do business in the area and they were saying the high-end in Rancho Santa Fe is tough.  We're only starting to see that segment turn around in Los Altos and Los Altos Hills.  Properties priced over $2M are a challenge.  I hope you see improvement in your market soon.

Jeff:  When you include prior reports in your post, do you usually do current and five months?  Do you find that there are trends that may have an impact on buying decisions over that long a period?  I like the format and the narrative (I would add that the sytle is far more formal than what I usually see in your more informal content.  Is this intentional or just the result of a mind set change?)  .... thanks for sharing!
