Overall sales for May dropped modestly from last month, with fewer single family homes sold, and 1 less condo, townhome and duplex sale. The average sales price was higher for the single family homes compared to last month (no doubt due, in part, to the sale of 4 homes over $5M with 1 at almost $14M that raised the average), and was significantly higher for condo, townhome and duplex sales. Sales prices, ranged from $650,000 to $13,995,000. Average marketing time was shorter for single family homes but longer for condos, townhomes and duplexes.
The median price for single family detached homes at $2,650,000 was 2% higher than last month. The median price for condos, townhomes and duplexes was $1,347,000, up 58% from April (the 4 sales of over $1.3M no doubt helped to raise that median price).

The Del Mar housing market is a very strong seller’s market for buyers of single family homes, with no inventory of condos, townhomes and duplexes as of the beginning of June.
As with any statistic, 1 month does not establish a trend, so it’s important to watch the housing market in Del Mar over a period of time, especially since the market continues to shift. One cannot draw firm conclusions regarding pricing, or other trends, because of the extremes in sales prices of Del Mar properties, especially at the high end, as well as the limited number of home sales.
