Carlsbad home buyers are often interested in buying a 3-bedroom detached single family home when it’s time to buy a new home, or the first one.
Some Carlsbad buyers are first time home buyers, while others are down-sizing from a larger house. A 3-bedroom might specifically meet desired lifestyle and budgetary needs. And other buyers are looking for a Carlsbad beach home, near or on the ocean, and are willing to settle for a 3-bedroom home to be on or close to the beach, given the limited options.
Carlsbad home buyers often need more space than a 3-bedroom single family detached home can offer. The reasons vary, of course – an expanding household or multigenerational living, for example. A family member may need a home office, or additional guest living space might be desired.
The supply of single family detached homes remains limited in Carlsbad compared to demand, and inventory has only increased slightly since the beginning of 2020; take a look at the most recent market report for Carlsbad at January 2020 Carlsbad Real Estate Market Report for (7 comments)
A good number of Carlsbad home buyers are interested in buying single story detached homes when searching for a new place or their first one. The Carlsbad inventory has improved slightly since the beginning of this year but remains limited. Despite the low inventory, buyers have options if their preference is a detached single story home.
Some Carlsbad home buyers simply prefer a single floor plan layout, but in some cases there is a specific preference for no stairs, or a need due to medical reasons.

Carlsbad home buyers are often interested in buying a single story detached home. The Carlsbad inventory has improved since the beginning of the year but remains somewhat limited. Buyers still have options, mostly resales, even if the preference is a detached single story home.
Carlsbad home buyers want single story living for a number of reasons: they like that type of floor plan; there is a preference for no stairs; and in some cases health concerns (current or anticipated) require a single story home.

There are often some interesting extremes in the Carlsbad housing market. Sometimes you can’t help but wonder about these statistics.
What is the range of pricing, especially on the beach? Why does someone have a home that large, or that small? Why is a home not selling and sitting on the market for so long? Ask meI have some thoughts on these homes!
For fun I took a look at some of the extremes for detached single family homes currently listed for sale and those that sold in 2018, and pass them along here.
