Fewer homes for sale amidst falling mortgage rates has left North County San Diego’s real estate market in a temporary seller’s market.  A 'sellers market' is defined as a time period when buyer demand for housing exceeds available supply.  A sellers market gives those selling property an opportunity to secure a higher price, sell faster and/or negotiate superior terms than compared to recent comparable sales.   And although only a fraction of the strength of the extreme sellers market 2004-2005 and possibly only temporary, the current sellers market is being confirmed with several key metrics used daily by real estate practitioners..

We here at The Lund Team continually look at the ever-changing reams of data for home sales in North San Diego County. Personally, what I find most interesting is the ever shrinking number of REO property during 2012. REO means real estate owned and is an acronym for a foreclosure home.  Short sale homes continue to be a significant part of the coastal real estate market.  find out what a short sale is here.

With North San Diego county feeling the effects of seasonal slowing (i.e less homebuyers buying), many homeowners consider waiting for spring to sell their property.  Here is a generalized argument for selling now:
