In July there were no Del Mar homes on the market with a Contingent status, the same as the last 2 months (i.e., these are typically, but not always, homes with offers being reviewed by short sale and REO lenders).
We saw a small drop in new listings in July in the Del Mar real estate market, from 28 to 26 (down 7%). However, the number of Del Mar homes going pending (excluding homes that sold) increased from 9 to 14 (up 56%).
There were 91 Del Mar homes for sale at the end of July, just 2 more than last month, and the 7th increase in inventory, and up about 50% from the end of December. At the current rate of sales over a 3-month period, this represents an inventory of 5.1 months for detached homes (up from 4.7 months last month), and 3.4 months for attached properties, up from 3 months last month; the Del Mar housing market remains a sellers’ market for detached homes and is a strong sellers market for attached homes.
As with any statistic, 1 month does not establish a trend, so it’s important to watch the Del Mar housing market over a period of time. One should not draw any firm conclusions regarding pricing, or other trends, because of the extremes in sales prices of Del Mar properties, as well as the overall modest number of home sales each month.
