Cardiff Home Sales for January 2025

When planning to buy or sell this information allows you to make informed buying and selling decisions about Cardiff homes for sale.

 

Supply and demand affect selling and buying in several ways, including prices, the amount of competition, and marketing time. It’s important to understand how local market conditions can affect your buying and/or selling decisions. Let’s talk now about YOUR real estate plans!

Here’s a summary of the Cardiff real estate market for January 2025 based on data provided by the MLS (private sales are not included; data are believed to be accurate as of this writing but are not guaranteed). 9 homes sold in January, more than twice the number of sales as last month.

 

Single Family Homes Sold
7 (up 133%); 25 Average Days on Market; Average Sales Price was $2,042,000 (down 44%); the Average Sales Price was 97% of the original asking price.

Condos, Townhomes & Duplexes Sold
2 (up by 1); 42 Days on Market; Average Sale Price was $3,210,000 (up 15%); the Average Sales Price was 100% of the original asking price.

 

The overall volume of Cardiff sales increased from last month. Single family detached home sales more than doubled, while condo, townhome and duplex sales were up by 1 with 1 duplex and 1 condo sale. Sales prices ranged from $1,125,000 to $3,495,000.

 

There were no homes in the Cardiff housing market with an Active Under Contract status at the end of January, the same as last month.

 

At the end of January there were 17 homes for sale in Cardiff, 2 more than last month; 14 of these are single family detached homes. Listings range in price from $1,075,000 to $6,549,000. 

 

There are 3.2 months of inventory for single family homes (down from 3.9 months last month), and a supply of 1.1 months for condos, townhomes and duplexes (up slightly from 1 month last month), based on the rate of sales for the last 3 months.

 

Cardiff by the Sea housing remains a seller’s market for single family homes, and is a very strong market for condos, townhomes and duplexes (with only 3 listings at the time of this report), based on the current supply and demand.

3 of the sales were for asking price or higher (1 at 102%). 4 properties went pending in 8 days or less, while the others took 15 to 68 days before going pending. Days on market decreased substantially for single family homes, and for condos, townhomes and duplexes, from last month.

 

10 listings came on the market in January, compared to 7 in December. 5 homes went pending in January (excluding homes that closed escrow), versus 3 last month.

 

This information was taken from the MLS. If you would like more specifics about the Cardiff housing market, or information about particular areas including the Walking District and the Composer District, please let me know. I can also assist you with the sale or purchase of a Cardiff by the Sea home if that is your goal, now or in the future.

 

Because of the small number of sales in Cardiff by the Sea one cannot draw firm conclusions about pricing or other trends. Limited supply and strong buyer demand continue to cause a fairly competitive housing market for Cardiff home buyers.

 

It’s important to keep in mind that average sales prices are affected by the sales of higher and/or lower-priced homes each month, especially when sales volume is limited as it was for January.

 

Please contact me directly or via text at (760) 840-1360 to discuss your personal housing needs, lifestyle, budget, and any questions. Then we’ll develop a strategy to help you buy and/or sell your Cardiff by the Sea home if that is your goal.

Good morning Jeff,

Thank you for you update on the Cardiff real estate market. Buyers and sellers need to understand homes are selling and 28 days on market for residential sales is certainly acceptable! Love the lead photo!

Thank you Dorie Dillard Austin TX 

Yes, both buyers and sellers should be aware of the local market conditions. Cardiff is a small community and pretty competitive with limited inventory.

Good morning Jeff. Seems as if the January sales of single family homes were in the lower end of the pricing range and just the opposite for condos. One thing for sure prices are high and so is demand. Enjoy your day.

Yes, that's true Wayne Martin  The 2 condos sold for $2.925M and $3.495M. Prices remain high in Cardiff and inventory is still pretty limited. Thanks for stopping by.

I see some homes that I would love to own in Cardiff by the Sea, but I doubt that I will ever be able to own one of them, haha.  It's a good thing that I am quite content with the home that I already own!

Hi Brian England  I think Cardiff is out of the budget for many. Good thing you are content with your current home!

Hi Doug Rogers 

Thank you! It was nice to see the improvement in sales in January for this small beach community. Prices are pretty high and inventory is usually pretty limited.

Hello Jeff, did you put the rocks together like that for your photo?  I hope people in your area would be calling you to see the value of their homes.

Hi Will Hamm 

No that is not my creation, and probably beyond my talents, but it was fun to see along the beach.
