Overall sales for May rose from last month, especially for single family detached homes sales; there were only 3 condo and townhome sales, a decline from April.
The average sales price was higher for single family homes compared to last month (in part due to the sale of 4 homes over $7M with 1 at $20M), but dropped for condos and townhomes. Sales prices ranged from $725,000 to $20,000,000.
Average marketing time was longer for single family homes, but shorter for condos, townhomes and duplexes. Buyers should be prepared to make quick decisions in their home searches – almost half (43%) of the homes went pending in 1 week or less.
The median price for single family detached homes at $3,200,000 was 2% higher than last month. The median sales price for the condo and townhome sales was $1,025,000 (down by 32%).

The number of new listings in May doubled, from 12 in April to 24 - good news for buyers. There were 13 homes that went pending (excluding homes that sold in May), compared to 11 last month.
The inventory was the same as last month with 25 homes for sale. At the rate of sales over the last 3 months, this represents an inventory of 1.7 months for single family homes (down from 2 months last month), and only 11 days for condos, townhomes and duplexes, the same as in April (there are only 2 listings as of this writing).
The Del Mar housing market continues to be a very strong seller’s market for single family homes, and particularly so for condos, townhomes and duplexes.
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 should not draw firm conclusions regarding pricing because of sales price extremes of Del Mar properties, especially the higher price points, and the fairly limited number of sales.
