Remember that with any statistic 1 month does not establish a trend. A better picture will come from watching the Del Mar housing market over time, especially since market conditions continue to shift. One cannot draw firm conclusions regarding pricing because of the extremes in sales prices of Del Mar properties, especially the higher price points, as well as a fairly limited number of sales.
