Carlsbad Market Report September 2024

Carlsbad Market Report September 2024

Here’s the Carlsbad Market Report for September. And here’s the Market Report for August as a comparison.

The Carlsbad real estate market continues to shift, with changes from August and 1 year ago. Private sales, mobile homes and multi-family housing are not included (the numbers are taken from the MLS and believed to be accurate as reported but are not guaranteed).

Media market reports typically are very generalized. As a result they do not reflect local Carlsbad housing market conditions (read more – How Local IS Local?). Current information, and analysis, about local market conditions benefits you when you need to make important buying and/or selling decisions.

88 homes sold in Carlsbad in September, 9% fewer sales than in August.

Plenty of buyers made quick decisions to tour listings and submit successful offers. 24% of the homes went pending in 1 week or less. Buyers should plan on making prompt decisions in the current housing market in Carlsbad.

Most buyers negotiated their home purchase prices down from asking price. However, at the same time 32% paid list price or more for their homes. Buyer competition continues, and it’s important to keep this in mind for your home search and when planning an offer strategy!

There is a 2.6 month supply of condos, townhomes and duplexes (up from 2.5 months last month). There is a supply of 1.9 months for single family homes (down from 2.1 months last month). This is based on the rate of sales over the last 3 months. Carlsbad remains a very strong sellers’ housing market.
