The North County and San Diego markets remained very tight in January. There were few new listings and very little existing inventory. Continued low interest rates and pent-up demand are keeping buyers in the market.
These factors are pushing up home prices. In fact, the S & P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices show that in November, we had the highest monthly price gains we’ve seen in six years. And they expect pressure on prices to continue for at least the first six months of 2021.
The year-over median price was up 14.2 percent in North County and 9.2 percent in San Diego County overall. New listings dropped sharply, but while North County saw fewer pending and closed sales compared to the previous year, the county as a whole had increases in both. Supply remained very low in all areas with less than one month’s inventory. This continues to make the market a great one for home sellers and a difficult one for home buyers.

The North County and San Diego Real Estate markets continue to show modest gains in year-over, median home prices. But this may be due to the pressure caused by low resale inventory and the lack of new homes in our market.
The real estate market is slowing down. Sales have decreased consistently in the first half of this year when compared to the same time last year. Will this slump continue? The San Diego Union-Tribune polled their local experts in their weekly Econometer column. Opinions were evenly split, but even those who felt this slowdown was not necessarily long-term did concede that prices have moved beyond most buyers’ reach. Some also noted that we are nearing the end of an economic cycle.
