This month’s San Diego County housing market report is hot, hot, hot! Homes are selling quickly. Prices are on the increase, and inventory is still low. Trulia published a report on April 15 showing San Diego to be the fourth fastest moving market in the nation as of April 5.

This is evident in the March numbers which definitely make up for February’s lackluster statistics. March’s median price for all North County homes shot up to $526,000. This is quite an increase from the $482,700 reported in February and significantly better than January’s median of $510,000.

This month’s San Diego County housing market report isn’t showing the monthly increases we saw in January, but other sources disagree.

Although I post the HomeDex numbers monthly, I’m always looking at multiple sources and reports to stay on top of the constantly changing market. Even though all of these sources work with real estate statistics in San Diego County, they often don’t end up with the same results. So if you are worried about prices, you might feel a little better knowing that Infosparks shows no monthly change in prices as shown in the chart below, and the Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS® shows an increase in the median prices for both detached and attached homes countywide from January to February.

Overall, the market’s not off to a bad start for 2015. This month’s San Diego County housing market report shows reasonable price increases for the county as a whole, with less of an upturn in North County.

The number of sold properties dropped compared to December, but this is typical for January and reflects fewer homes going under contract during the holidays.

As you can see in the chart below, inventory is still limited. The number of available homes for sale in January was the lowest it has been since 2004.

This month’s San Diego County housing market report looks positive. The December numbers show healthy appreciation. These aren’t the twenty to twenty-five percent annual appreciation numbers we saw for many months straight, but a continuation of the sustainable growth we saw throughout most of 2014.
