San Diego Home Prices Up – Home Sale Down
San Diego home prices
The real estate reporting firm MDA DataQuick, reported today that the San Diego median home prices rose slightly by $500 from October to November to $335,000.
Single-family resale homes rose $1,000, from October to $370,000, which was 1.4 percent above year-ago levels. Resale condos also rose, though the $218,000 November median was down 3.1 percent from November’s $225,000.
That was the good news. The bad news reported in the MDA Dataquick report was that San Diego home sales were down for the fifth straight month in a row! The actual drop was 6.7 percent on a year-over-year basis. This continued drop in San Diego real estate sales is very troubling and for me, and a much more important fact than the modest price appreciation. If this trend continues, it’s just a matter of another month or so before the San Diego median home values also turn down.

It will be interesting to see if this trend continues of come summertime, home sales will increase. Obviously it is driven by the economy and public perception, so I guess we will just have to wait and see!
