Inventory Rises Slightly in San Diego’s Real Estate Market

The following data is taken directly from San Diego’s Multiple Listing Service. It is a snapshot of San Diego’s housing market for the 1-15 corridor as well as the Metro areas of San Diego. Going back 30 days for the month of August, the data illustrates a general trend of building inventory, decreasing short sales and solid pending sales as well as closed sales.  In both single family homes, as well as condos, throughout San Diego we see a slight slow down in San Diego’s housing market. More importantly, we also see a dwelling number of distressed sales; a steady trend since the first of the year.

Feel free to look back over last months snapshot, found in my blog here, for a quick comparison of numbers. One of the largest areas of inventory increase was seen in Rancho Bernardo. Conversely, the area with the shortest increase of available homes for sale is the popular Hillcrest and Mission Hills area.

Scripps Ranch, Rancho Penasquitos and Mira Mesa saw a steady increase in available homes for sale during the month of August. Condo listings in these same areas also increased. As the summertime comes to an end it is normal to see a gradual easing off of home sales.

One important note, homes in desirable areas which are well priced and well taken care of , sell fast and with multiple offers.  So just because we are entering the “slow” season for real estate don’t delay when you find a home you love!  It’s worth it!

North Park Historic News

In a unanimous decision, the State Historical Resources Commission approved listing the North Park water tower to the California Register of Historical Resources. For many of us, the large green iconic tower has severed as a landmark for finding our way around north park. Friends often say I live just North of the water tower, or south of the tower. The water tower and the surrounding areas are infact officially called the University Heights Water Storage and Pumping Station Historic District. The tower, according to the NPCA is the “only known example of a 12-legged, full hemispherical bottom, elevated metal water storage tank in Southern California. From 1898 to 1967, the Pumping Station evolved from a privately owned water storage reservoir into one of several of the City of San Diego’s major water storage, filtration and distribution facilities.
