Some buyers were able to negotiate the sales price down, however well over half, 62%, paid full price or higher for their new homes - 1 home sold at 116% of the list price. In this market buyers can expect to be in competition with others, with multiple offers very likely.

13 Cardiff listings came on the market in May, compared to 20 in April. In contrast, 18 homes went pending in May (not counting homes that closed escrow), versus 9 in April, so it was another busy month for buyers and sellers.

One should not draw firm conclusions about pricing, or other trends, in Cardiff by the Sea due to the small volume of sales. Tight inventory and strong buyer demand have resulted in a competitive market, with homes going pending quickly, often in less than a week, with multiple offers, and over-asking sale prices.
It’s important to keep in mind average sales prices are significantly affected by the sale of high and/or low priced homes each month, especially when sales volume is low.
