The first month of 2013 saw a general decline in sales which is normal for this time of the year and with that inventory went up for the first time in months but remains very low. This time last year North County had over twice the number of homes for sale. The number of distressed homes (short sale or bank /REO transactions) continued to decline and this has been a fairly solid trend for many months. This trend has been very slow but we anticipate the shortage of inventory will continue to result in price increases and this will allow more homes to be less underwater.

It has been a slow gradual process but the last few months have seen this speeding up. Also notable is how many lower priced homes are off the market in less than 20 days. We now tell buyers to jump on any situation, be well qualified and forget about any low ball offers. We do expect to see many more people to start jumping on this sellers market as the shortage is exceptional and these conditions are unlikely to last. We hope the trend data you can see below and also in every city page (scroll down to see this) can help you stay on top of this dynamic market place.
