Market Data for NOVEMBER and DECEMBER 2006 - Solana Beach, CA

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty of California, Inc. CA DRE #01490977

Here are the summary MLS statistics for Solana Beach for the months of November and December 2006.

Most notable is the downward shift in inventory by 17% from November to December - this is not entirely unexpected due to the holiday season. Solana Beach prices, while showing a small decrease from November to December for detached homes, remain stable or continue to rise albeit slowly - there has been no overall change in the median for attached homes, however detached homes have increased by 4% since 1 year ago.

The spring market will be very telling in terms of the type of activity we are likely to see in 2007. Because of the relatively small inventory and the appeal of the beach, Solana Beach remains one of the more desirable, and expensive, coastal towns in the San Diego area. Of the 38 detached homes on the market only 9 are under $1 million (an increase from months past where little came on the market under $1 million).

Thanks, Brian. Yep, some good news. January data coming soon.

As I'm sure you know, one should be cautious about drawing firm conclusions from summary data. The market can shift each month depending on the inventory that sells, especially at the high and low ends of the market. Trends over the long term will be most informative and reliable.
