Rancho Santa Fe Real Estate Market Report for February 2011

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 since many high-end properties are unique.

This is in line with what I'm seeing in Los Altos Hills, lots of activity at the high-end with more sales in the $3-5M range pulling up the average and median prices.  Even if unit sales are off a bit, prices going up is a good thing.

Bryan - agree. We'll see, as this area goes up and down depending on what high end home is selling.

Barbara-Jo - woo-hoo. Great news for you. Hope the trend continues, and improves.

Thanks, Christine - it's an interesting community to watch, given the prices. There are always folks who are interested and can buy in this community. The VERY high end homes are not selling, though (those above $10M).
