The number of detached homes sold in Rancho Santa Fe increased substantially over the prior month; average prices for detached homes also increased as did the overall average price. Both attached homes that sold were distress sales - 1 short sale and 1 REO, selling at list price in one case and slightly over in the over.
As of the end of December there were 12 homes in the Rancho Santa Fe real estate market with a Contingent status (i.e., short sale and REO homes that had offers being reviewed), the same as last month, and, thus, are included in the Active statistics below. We are seeing more high end homes (over $1 million) that are short sales and REOs with offers being reviewed.
As of December 2010 there were 248 Ranch Santa Fe homes for sale (97% of these are detached), 9% less than last month, the 4th month of inventory decline, perhaps not surprising at this time of year.
