Average sale prices dropped slightly for detached single family homes but increased modestly for attached homes.
Buyers, on average, negotiated 2 - 3% off the original asking price, however, 37% of the home buyers paid full price or better for their homes. The MEDIAN sales price of detached homes was $560,000 (down 3%), and $405,500 (up 4%) for attached/condos.
There were 15 homes with a CONTINGENT status (often these are properties waiting for approval by short sale or REO lenders, but some homes with this status are sales with a first right of refusal due to contingent offers), compared to 19 last month. These homes are considered active and are included in the statistics below. Most of these homes are contingent sales with first right of refusals due to offers that are contingent on the buyer selling a property, 3 are short sales and 1 is a probate sale.
At the end of March 2019 there were 363 Oceanside homes for sale, a decrease in inventory by 6% from last month, in contrast to a number of toehr communities that saw increases, but well above the inventory for March 2018 by almost 20%!
This represents a supply of only 1.9 months for detached homes (down from 2.1 months last month) and 3.2 months for attached homes (down from 3.4 months last month) based on the current rate of sales over the last 3 months – the Oceanside market remains a very strong seller’s market for detached homes and is a strong seller’s market for attached.
