San Diego, CA 92124 Housing Statistics


**Brian Ward is a real estate appraiser covering all of San Diego County and eastern Riverside County**

The median $/Sqft of properties over the past year increased 5% but has declined 2.5% between the two most recent 3 month periods, indicating an overall stable property values trend.  There are currently 1.6 months of housing inventory indicating a balanced supply and demand trend.  Over the past month, properties sold in an average of 49 days and a median of 25 days after being listed indicating a marketing time trend of under 3 months.

Statistics indicate historically high foreclosure activity which suggests that future declines from foreclosures and other distressed selling activity, such as short sales, are possible, although the subject's market area has one of the lowest ratios of bank/short sales to total sales in San Diego County.
