- The average sales price of the detached homes was $2,979,166, down 17% from the average sales price last month, and no doubt impacted by the sale of 11 homes over $3M with 1 selling at $9M last month that raised the average.

- The detached homes sold, on average, for 86% of the original asking price with several well below asking price – 1 home sold for original asking price. The 2 attached homes sold for 96% and 100% of original asking price.
- As of the end of April there were no 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 but some first right of refusals) the same as the last 2 months.
At the end of April 2020 there were 170 Rancho Santa Fe homes for sale (95% of these are detached single family homes), ranging in price from $629,000 to $39,000,000, about the same as in March (169) following inventory declines for 7 months. This represents inventory of 2 months for attached homes (up from less than 1 month in March) and 11 months for detached homes at the current rate of sales (based on a 6-month period), up from 9.6 months last month.
The high end market continues to shift in Rancho Santa Fe, and is a market that favors buyers for detached single family homes, luxury properties and estates as it has for quite some time, but is a very strong sellers market for attached properties with 8 available listings.
The number of Rancho Santa Fe homes coming on the market in April rose modestly from 29 in March to 32, despite the pandemic. The number of homes going pending in April, 8 (excluding those that closed escrow), also dropped from last month’s 16 pendings.
