The La Jolla real estate market saw 88 homes sell in June 2018, an increase in sales by 14% from last month. Here’s a summary of the real estate activity (these MLS summary data do not include private sales, and are believed to be accurate at the time this report was written but are not guaranteed).
TOTAL HOMES SOLD
88 (up 14%), 38 Days on Market, Ave. Sales Price $1,693,886 (up 7%), Ave. sale, 96% of asking price
Detached Homes Sold

The overall volume of sales in the La Jolla real estate market rose fairly significantly from last month, especially for attached homes. Average sales prices decreased for detached homes (despite the sale of 8 homes over $4M), but rose for attached homes. 47% of the sales were cash transactions compared to 44% last month.
La Jolla buyers negotiated, on average, 4 - 5% off list price; however, 35% of the homes sold at or above asking price. Days on market increased for detached single family homes but shifted down for attached homes.
The median sales price of detached homes increased to $1,985,000 (up 5%), but declined to $770,000 for attached homes, down 12%.
There were no La Jolla homes with a contingent status at the end of June, the same as the last 2 months (these homes are still considered active, but typically are properties with offers that are being reviewed by either the short sale or REO lenders and may not actually be accepting more offers or be available to tour).
There were 276 La Jolla homes on the market at the end of June, an increase by 6% from May, and another increase. This translates to an inventory of 5.9 months for detached homes (up from 5.2 months last month), and 1.7 months for attached (down from 1.9 months last month), based on the rate of sales over the last 3 months. The La Jolla real estate market remains a very strong seller’s market for attached homes, and is trending toward a balanced market for detached single family homes.
135 homes came on the La Jolla real estate market in June, an increase of 15% over the number of new listings in May; in contrast, 59 homes went pending (excluding those that closed escrow), a decrease by 20% from last month’s pendings.
