Sales volume increased slightly in May overall, with a big jump in detached home sales but a significant drop in attached home sales. We saw a decrease in days on market for attached homes but an increase for detached home sales, however marketing time remains below 1 month on average. 20% of the May home sales were cash transactions, versus 23% last month. Average sale prices rose for detached homes but decreased modestly for attached homes.
Buyers, on average, negotiated 1 - 3% off asking price, however, nearly half (44%) of the homes sold for list price or better. The MEDIAN sales price of detached homes was $597,000 (up 6%), and $375,000 (up 3%) for attached/condos.
There were 11 homes with a CONTINGENT status (typically these are properties waiting for approval by short sale or REO lenders), 3% of the total inventory, the same as last month. These homes are considered active and are included in the statistics below. Some homes with this status may still allow showings or back-up offers. Homes in contingent status can sometimes remain on the market for a number of months awaiting lender approval.
At the end of May 2018 there were 358 Oceanside homes for sale, a 7% increase from April, and another bump up. This represents an inventory of 1.6 months for detached homes (the same as from last month) and 1.8 months for attached homes (down from 2 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.
In May 285 Oceanside homes came on the market, up slightly by 3% from last month. The number of Oceanside homes going pending, however, decreased, by 4%, to 193 pendings (excluding homes that actually sold in May).
