The overall volume of sales in the La Jolla real estate market rose fairly substantially in June, in particular for single family home sales, but dropped slightly for condo, townhome and duplex sales. Sales prices ranged from $385,000 to $13,900,000.
Average marketing time was shorter for single family homes (around 1 month), and for condos, townhomes and duplexes (just over 2 weeks). At the same time, however, 43% of the homes went pending in 7 days or less. If you are planning to buy a La Jolla home you should be prepared to make decisions quickly.
The average sales price was lower for single family homes than last month (despite the sale of 7 homes over $6M), but modestly higher for condos, townhomes and duplexes.
While about 1/3 of La Jolla buyers were able to negotiate money off the original list price, about 2/3 (62%) paid asking price or higher for their new homes.

There were 2 La Jolla homes with an Active Under Contract status at the end of June, compared to none last month (when they occur these homes are considered active, but may not actually be accepting more offers or be available to tour).
There were 131 La Jolla homes on the market at the end of June, ranging in price from $380,000 to $28,000,000, about the same as last month (132).
The current inventory in La Jolla is 2.1 months for single family homes (down from 2.5 months last month), and only 1.1 months for attached (down from 1.2 months last month), based on the rate of sales for the last 3 months. The La Jolla real estate market is a very strong sellers’ market for single family homes, and is even more competitive for buyers of condos, townhomes and duplexes.
There were 87 new listings in June compared to 100 last month, but still an average of around 3 new listings on the market each day. 73 homes went pending (excluding those homes that closed escrow), compared to 64 in May. June was a busy month for buying and selling!
