4-Bedroom Homes for Sale in Carlsbad
February 20, 2020 Market Update
Carlsbad home buyers often need more space than a 3-bedroom single family detached home can offer. The reasons vary, of course – an expanding household or multigenerational living, for example. A family member may need a home office, or additional guest living space might be desired.

The supply of single family detached homes remains limited in Carlsbad compared to demand, and inventory has only increased slightly since the beginning of 2020; take a look at the most recent market report for Carlsbad at January 2020 Carlsbad Real Estate Market Report for updates on the Carlsbad housing market.
As of this report we only have 1.9 months of inventory of single family detached homes with 4-bedrooms, based on the rate of sales over the last 3 months, a market that strongly favors sellers. 4-bedroom homes make up 41% of the total inventory of detached single family homes on the market in Carlsbad.
