Interest rates continued to increase, but the San Diego County and North County markets didn’t seem to care. San Diego edged up to number five on the hottest U.S. markets list from realtor.com® last month.
Real Estate Report
December was a busy month for North County and San Diego County as a whole. Although closed sales dropped compared to the previous year, the number of pending sales (homes that went under contract) increased by double digits in both North County and San Diego County. Added to this was a significant decrease in the number of new listings. This created the lowest available housing supply we’ve seen since 2004!
