- Sales of detached homes for August rose from 16 last month to 19. There were 3 attached (condos, town homes) home sales in August, the same as last month. 41% of the transactions were cash, versus 42% in July.
- The average sales price of the detached homes was $2,754,022, up 28% from the average sales price last month (no doubt impacted by the sale of 4 homes for over $4M with one selling at $11.65M that raised the average substantially). The average price of the attached homes was $890,000, down 27%. The median sales price for detached homes was $3,100,000 (up 13%) and $940,000 for attached homes (up 22%), both impacted by the higher priced sales in August compared to July.
- Average marketing time for the detached homes was 93 days compared to 88 in July; the attached properties sold in an average of 89 days (versus only 26 days last month).
- The detached homes sold, on average, for 91% of the original asking price; the attached homes sold at 93% of original list price. 3 home buyers paid asking price for their new homes.
- As of the end of August there were 2 homes in the Rancho Santa Fe real estate market with a Contingent status (i.e., typically these are short sale and REO homes that have offers being reviewed by the lenders) versus 1 last month. 1 home is a short sale, 1 if a court approval.
As of the end of August 2019 there were 257 Rancho Santa Fe homes for sale (96% of these are detached single family homes), up 3% from July and the 8th consecutive increase in inventory. This represents an inventory of 2.8 months for attached homes (up from 2 months last month) and 13.9 months for detached homes at the current rate of sales (based on a 6-month period), up from 11.9 months last month.
The high end market continues to shift in Rancho Santa Fe, and is a market that strongly favors buyers for detached single family homes, luxury properties and estates as it has for some time, but remains a strong seller’s market for buyers of attached properties, a market of continued limited inventory.
The number of Rancho Santa Fe homes coming on the market in August rose from 42 in July to 52 (up 24%), good news for buyers. The number of homes going pending in August, 14 (excluding those that closed escrow), was down from 18 pendings last month!
