At the end of August 2016 there were 351 Oceanside homes for sale, a 2% decrease from July, following 2 months of inventory increases. This represents an inventory of only 1.5 months for detached homes (down from 1.6 months last month) and 1.5 months for attached homes (down from 1.7 months last month) based on the current rate of sales over the last 6 months – the Oceanside market remains very competitive and is a strong seller’s market.
