Carlsbad Single Story Homes for Sale
December 2017 – Market Update
Many home buyers in Carlsbad would like to have a single story detached home. While the inventory continues to be limited, buyers will still find they have a number of options, mostly resales. Buyers may want single story living for a number of reasons – the floor plan, a preference for no stairs, or perhaps health concerns require single story living.
Single story detached homes, especially newly built homes, are typically harder to find; some new planned communities do not even build them because of the increased cost and other considerations.
In Carlsbad currently single story homes are only about 17% of the inventory on the market, which is consistent with what we normally see at any given time. Right now we have less than 1 month of inventory of single story detached homes, based on the rate of sales over the last 6 months and current listings.
There are 17 single story detached homes for sale in Carlsbad right now, only 1 of which is new construction (there may be a few more when released by the builder). You can view the complete inventory of single story homes for sale in Carlsbad here.
