MARKET CONDITIONS
In Oceanside, CA, and as of the 12 month period ending 10/09/2013, single family residence sale prices ranged from $110,000 to $3,600,000, with a median of $390,000.  The median sale price changed 17% over the past year indicating an 'increasing' property values trend.  The median $/Sqft changed 19% over the past year indicating an 'increasing' property values trend.  There are currently 2 months of housing inventory indicating a demand/supply trend of 'in balance'.  In the Sandicor.com multiple listing service, realtors report that 79% of all sales over the past 6 months did not have any sales restrictions, indicating that 21% of all sales were non-traditional sales, such as bank sales, short sales, estate sales, etc., which tend to be distressed sales.  This is a change in the ratio of non-traditional sales of -18% when compared with the same period last year when 39% of all sales were non-traditional sale types.  The median market exposure time over the past 60 days was 16 days.  Based on recent-past market exposure times, I anticipate that the typical/median marketing time will be under 3 months over the coming 90 days.

Sale value trends include standard/traditional sales only.  This is to reduce the impact of distressed sales on the trends, which tend to sell for inconsistent prices.  Inventory and marketing time statistics include all sale types.
