What’s the Value of My Carlsbad Home?

Carlsbad Market Report for January 2025 

The Carlsbad real estate market continues to shift, with changes from December as well as 1 year ago. Private sales, mobile homes and multi-family housing are not included (the numbers are taken from the MLS and believed to be accurate as reported but are not guaranteed).

 

Media market reports typically are very generalized. As a result they do not reflect local Carlsbad housing market conditions (read more - How Local IS Local?). Current information, and analysis, about local market conditions benefits you when you need to make important buying and/or selling decisions about Carlsbad homes for sale.

65 homes sold in Carlsbad in January (92008, 92009, 92010 and 92011), down by 27% from December. Here are the specifics:

 

Single Family Homes Sold
39 (down 39%); 31 Average Days on Market; Average Sales Price was $1,993,636 (up 9%); Average Sales Price was 98% of original asking price.

Condos, Townhomes & Duplexes Sold
26 (up by 1); 37 Average Days on Market; Average Sales Price was $847,923 (down 17%); Average Sales Price was 98% of original asking price.

 

Carlsbad home sales in January decreased significantly from December. Single family home sales dropped substantially while condo, townhome and duplex sales rose by 1. The average sales price was higher for single family homes, but was lower for condos, townhomes and duplexes. January sales prices ranged from $480,000 to $5,189,424.

 

The average time on the market was 4 days shorter than last month for single family homes. The average time on the market increased by 4 days from last month for condos, townhomes, and duplexes. 

 

The same number of single family homes sold in January 2025 as 1 year ago. 26 condos, townhomes and duplexes sold in January 2025 compared to 19 back in 2024. The average sales price year over year was 14% higher for single family homes in January 2025 (the median price was 14% higher). In contrast, the average sales price was 16% lower for condos, townhomes and duplexes sold in January 2025 compared to 1 year ago; the median price was 6% lower in 2025.

 

A number of buyers made quick decisions to tour listings and submit successful offers. 25% of the homes went pending in 7 days or less, about the same as last month. Thus, it’s still important for homebuyers to be ready to make prompt decisions in the Carlsbad housing market.

 

The majority of buyers were able to negotiate their home purchase prices down from list price. However, 40% paid asking price or higher for their homes. Buyer competition continues, and it’s important to keep this in mind during your home search and when planning your offer strategy!

There were 9 homes in Carlsbad at the end of January with an Active Under Contract status, compared to 4 last month. These homes are technically still active but may not allow further showings or accept back-up offers. They are included in the statistics below.

 

Inventory at the end of January (164) was up by 27% from last month (129), which is good news for buyers. List prices range from $425,000 to $23,900,000.

 

There is a 2.9 month supply of condos, townhomes and duplexes (up from 2.2 months last month), and 1.9 months for single family homes (up from 1.3 months last month), based on the rate of sales over the last 3 months. Carlsbad continues to be a very strong sellers’ housing market.

Hi Endre Barath, Jr. 

I heard about the bluff collapse in Laguna Beach but don't know any details or if there has been other similar activity. I heard rain was headed our way but not sure where - I though it was more in the north but you know how these forecasts are!

As you know, I really enjoy the Carlsbad area and certainly don't get to visit as often as I would like.  I know I can count on you whenever I want to know what is going on with the real estate market there!

Good morning Jeff. I look forward to your market reports, not only California pricing but available inventory and list to sales price ratio. Simply amazing to his midwest guy. Then again it is a very big state and the spectrum changes when you go north to Corning and Redmond. Enjoy your day.

Hi Wayne Martin 

Market conditions do vary quite a bit, even in the area I cover. It IS a big state as you say and one cannot really generalize about CA as a whole.

I just find that you have one of the most interesting markets in the country. Fires aside, I think it will be booming in the near future.

Thank you Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty  Time will tell how the fires that we've had will impact the overall market - certainly the local areas have already been impacted pretty significantly.

Hi Jeff,
With the median price point at nearly 2 million, I'm not sure I want to know what that $425,000 K home looks like.

Feb 05, 2025 02:51 PM
Jeff Dowler, CRS

Hi Carol Williams 

I get that! The $425K property is a studio unit on the grounds of the Omni La Costa Spa and Resort. The unit can be used personally for up to 120 days per year but otherwise can serve as a rental (owners can handle the renting or put it into the inventory for the Resort). Obviously it's just for investment purposes.
