There were no La Jolla homes with a contingent status at the end of May, the same as last month (these homes are still considered active, but typically are properties with offers that are being reviewed by either the short sale or REO lenders and may not actually be accepting more offers or be available to tour).
There were 260 La Jolla homes on the market at the end of May, a modest increase by 3% from April. This translates to an inventory of 5.2 months for detached homes (down from 6 months last month), and 1.9 months for attached (down from 2.4 months last month), based on the rate of sales over the last 3 months. The La Jolla real estate market remains a very strong seller’s market for attached homes, and is a sellers market for detached single family homes.
