Sales volume in the Solana Beach real estate market for January rose for attached homes but remained the same for detached. In contrast average sale prices declined across the board. We are still seeing negotiation in prices, on average from 4 – 5%. Given the small number of sales, one cannot draw any firm conclusions about pricing trends.

At the end of January 2012 there were 94 Solana Beach homes for sale, down 5% from December’s inventory, another decline, making the Solana Beach market more competitive for buyers. 15 of these homes are “contingent” (short sale or REO homes with offers being reviewed by lenders and considered active). This represents an inventory of 9.3 months for attached homes (down from 9.8 months last month) and 5.5 months for detached (down from 6 months in December) based on the current rate of sales over the last 6 months, resulting in a further tightening of the Solana Beach real estate market for buyers.

No news today and the market is playing guessing games about the FED and the EU. I suspect all this leads to giving back our gap up opening and closing on a flat day. No, I dont think we have found support yet. We need a shocking statement from the Fed to stop a further correction. (IN MY OPINION, of course)

Sales volume in the Solana Beach real estate market for December declined, especially for detached homes (but this % was only a drop by 2 sales), but we saw the opposite trend for attached homes. Interestingly average sales prices went up fairly significantly – this is apparently due to 3 sales over $1.7 million. We are still seeing negotiation in prices, on average from 3 – 5%. Given the small number of sales, one cannot draw any firm conclusions about pricing trends.

At the end of December 2011 there were 99 Solana Beach homes for sale, down 7% from November’s inventory, another decline, making the Solana Beach market more competitive for buyers. Nine of these homes are “contingent” (short sale or REO homes with offers being reviewed by lenders and considered active). This represents an inventory of 9.8 months for attached homes (dup from 8months last month) and 6 months for detached (down from 6.4 months in November) based on the current rate of sales over the last 6 months.
