As with any statistic, 1 month of numbers is not a trend, so it is important to watch what is and has been happening over a period of time. One should not draw any firm conclusions regarding pricing because of the extremes in the Del Mar real estate market, as well as the fairly small number of sales.

Nice to see the sales rise, I see the pricing is still coming down a bit.

Gail - me too. Sellers like it as well - buyers will be happy with the average pricing. This is the type of community where things have been in flux given the high end nature of the area. We are still seeing price adjustments, especially at the high end.

Barbara-Jo - I like to do it to porivde readers other sources of related information.

Bob - yep, still adjusting, even the beach front property. But it IS selling, but taking some time and we are seeing price reductions, sometimes significant.
