Single Story Homes for Sale in Carlsbad CA
Market Update as of July 27, 2021
Carlsbad home buyers sometimes prefer a 1-story single family home when searching for a new place to live.
The reasons for this can vary from a simple preference for a single story floor plan, to a medical need necessitating 1 floor living.
Some buyers are willing to purchase a 2-story home as long as there is a master bedroom with bath on the main floor, however these tend to be hard to find; often the 1st floor bedroom is a smaller guest room and the bath may only be a half bath.
The overall Carlsbad inventory remains tight (here’s the June 2021 Housing Market Report for Carlsbad). All existing single story listings are resales - there is no new single story construction at this time in the MLS.
As of the time of this report we have a 19-day supply of single story detached homes, based on the rate of sales for the last 3 months, a market that very strongly favors sellers. We have, however, seen an increase in inventory since the end of May 2021.

Days on Market (DOM) averaged 22 days before going pending, with 4 homes going pending within 1 week.
Not all homes are going pending quickly, but it’s wise as a Carlsbad home buyer to see homes that interest you as soon as you can and make a decision quickly about making an offer so you don’t miss out on the opportunity. Be aware there is likely to be competition.
Price is often an issue with homes that are not selling fairly quickly, however location (e.g., views, noise) and condition issues may also lead to longer marketing times. Do not automatically assume there is a serious problem with a home simply because it hasn’t sold quickly.
