Figures reflect 130 closed residential sales in Carlsbad during July 2026. Data obtained 2026-08-03.Based on information from California Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc. as of 2026-08-03 and/or other sources. All data, including all measurements and calculations of area, is obtained from various sources and has not been, and will not be, verified by broker of MLS. All information should be independently reviewed and verified for accuracy. Properties may or may not be listed by the office/agent presenting the information.




130 homes closed in July, more than any other month of 2026 so far and 26 more than July last year.




A $13,750,000 sale near the water in 92008, on the market 305 days


Median price per square foot reached $731, the highest reading of the spring and summer


14 homes closed at or above asking within three days on market




Almost half of July's Carlsbad sales closed at or above the asking price.


The median settled at $1,569,500, between May and June, and 99.7 of final list was the strongest sale to list reading of the three months. Price per square foot is the more useful number here because it does not care about the mix, and at $731 it was the highest of the spring. Over the three months to July, Carlsbad ran 2.3 ahead of the same period last year.


The average 30-year mortgage dipped to 6.43 percent the week of 2 July, then climbed to 6.66 percent by the 30th. When the Fed held at 3.5 to 3.75 percent on 29 July, the vote was 9 to 3 and all three dissenters wanted a quarter-point hike, not a cut. Carlsbad did not flinch. Price per square foot reached $731, up from $693 in June and $679 in May, and the median closed at 99.7 percent of the final asking price, the strongest of the three months. Buyers set the terms instead: only 48.5 percent closed at or above asking, the lowest of the five cities in July, and 29.2 percent of sellers cut their price before they closed.


Rate figures: Federal Reserve FOMC statements and Summary of Economic Projections; Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Sales figures: CRMLS.


If you're thinking about selling


Three months, three different medians, one consistent story: well presented Carlsbad homes are closing within a point of asking in about two weeks. What has changed since 2023 is that the buyer checks your work. 29 of July's sellers cut before closing.


If you're thinking about buying


There is more choice than a year ago, 130 closings and 214 homes active in the first week of August, but that is still only about two months of supply at the current pace. Good houses continue to go quickly.

Figures reflect 40 closed residential sales in Encinitas during July 2026. Data obtained 2026-08-03.Based on information from California Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc. as of 2026-08-03 and/or other sources. All data, including all measurements and calculations of area, is obtained from various sources and has not been, and will not be, verified by broker of MLS. All information should be independently reviewed and verified for accuracy. Properties may or may not be listed by the office/agent presenting the information.




40 homes closed in July, the quietest month of the summer by volume, and the median price per square foot came in at $1,029.




Median price per square foot reached $1,029, the second month this year above $1,000


The top sale closed at $5,910,000, six bedrooms across 5,605 square feet


Homes again closed at 100 of the final asking price, with 52.5 at or above it




A thousand dollars a square foot is now the middle of the Encinitas market, not the top of it.


The blended median was $1,892,750, but only nine of July's 40 sales were attached, the thinnest attached month of the spring, so the per square foot figure does the more honest work here. Encinitas has now printed a median above $1,000 a square foot twice this year, in April and again in July, having done it only twice before in the previous three years. Across the three months to July it ran 6.5 ahead of the same period last year.


The average 30-year mortgage dipped to 6.43 percent the week of 2 July, then climbed to 6.66 percent by the 30th. When the Fed held at 3.5 to 3.75 percent on 29 July, the vote was 9 to 3 and all three dissenters wanted a quarter-point hike, not a cut. None of that reached the Encinitas closing table. Price per square foot crossed $1,000 for the first time, at $1,029 against $926 in June, homes sold in 9 days, and the median landed at 100 percent of the final asking price. On 40 sales this is a thin month, and thin months move more than the market underneath them.


Rate figures: Federal Reserve FOMC statements and Summary of Economic Projections; Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Sales figures: CRMLS.


If you're thinking about selling


Two months running at exactly full asking price. That is not a market you need to discount into. It is a market where the number you pick is the number you get, so pick it with the recent closed sales in front of you.


If you're thinking about buying


Forty sales in a month across an entire city is not much. With 118 homes active in early August, about 2.7 months of supply, waiting for more choice has not been a strategy that worked in Encinitas this year.

Figures reflect 169 closed residential sales in Oceanside during July 2026. Data obtained 2026-08-03.Based on information from California Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc. as of 2026-08-03 and/or other sources. All data, including all measurements and calculations of area, is obtained from various sources and has not been, and will not be, verified by broker of MLS. All information should be independently reviewed and verified for accuracy. Properties may or may not be listed by the office/agent presenting the information.




169 closings at a median of $885,000, and 23 of those homes closed at or above the asking price within three days of hitting the market. That was the most of any city, in any month, this spring.




23 homes closed at or above asking within three days on market


The top sale reached $4,675,000 in the 92054 beach area


56.8 of all July sales closed at or above the asking price




Twenty three Oceanside homes were spoken for within three days of listing.


Oceanside has now closed at essentially 100 of the final asking price for three months running, with the median holding between $875,000 and $890,000 the whole time. That stability is the story. Over the three months to July it ran 4.2 ahead of the same period a year ago. The one number that moved was price cuts, 29 in July against 17 in May.


The average 30-year mortgage dipped to 6.43 percent the week of 2 July, then climbed to 6.66 percent by the 30th. When the Fed held at 3.5 to 3.75 percent on 29 July, the vote was 9 to 3 and all three dissenters wanted a quarter-point hike, not a cut. Oceanside kept doing what it has done all year: 169 closings, the median at 100 percent of asking, and 56.8 percent of sales at or above the asking price. The detail worth noticing sits underneath that. 29 percent of July's sales had taken a price reduction before closing, up from 21.7 percent in June and 17.2 percent in May. Buyers are paying full price, but only after the price is right.


Rate figures: Federal Reserve FOMC statements and Summary of Economic Projections; Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Sales figures: CRMLS.


If you're thinking about selling


Steady is good for you. You do not need to guess where this market is going over the next 90 days, because it has not gone anywhere over the last 90. Price to the recent closed sales and expect about two weeks.


If you're thinking about buying


The fast ones are genuinely fast. If a well priced Oceanside house comes up in your range, three days is a realistic amount of time to decide, which means the deciding has to happen before you walk in.

        <title>What Sold in San Marcos, July 2026: Why the Median Fell and Prices Did Not</title>

Figures reflect 80 closed residential sales in San Marcos during July 2026. Data obtained 2026-08-03.Based on information from California Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc. as of 2026-08-03 and/or other sources. All data, including all measurements and calculations of area, is obtained from various sources and has not been, and will not be, verified by broker of MLS. All information should be independently reviewed and verified for accuracy. Properties may or may not be listed by the office/agent presenting the information.




The July median came in at $845,000, down $100,000 from May. Detached houses closed at a median of $1,160,000, almost exactly where they were in May. Both of those are true.




July split exactly 40 detached and 40 attached, the first even month of the year


Detached median $1,160,000, attached median $702,500


56.2 of sales closed at or above the asking price, up from 48 in June




The mix changed. The prices barely did.


In May, 61 of San Marcos sales were detached houses. In July it was 50. Move eleven percent of a month's sales from the $1.16M side to the $702K side and the blended median falls whether or not a single home changed price. The three month figure, which smooths this out, has San Marcos 5.2 below the same period a year ago. That is the honest number, and it is a long way from the 22 drop a raw month against month comparison would hand you.


The average 30-year mortgage dipped to 6.43 percent the week of 2 July, then climbed to 6.66 percent by the 30th. When the Fed held at 3.5 to 3.75 percent on 29 July, the vote was 9 to 3 and all three dissenters wanted a quarter-point hike, not a cut. San Marcos is this month's clearest case of why the median is not the price. The median fell to $845,000 from $915,000 in June, while price per square foot went up, to $519 from $509. Smaller homes made up more of the month. Meanwhile 56.2 percent closed at or above asking, the highest share San Marcos has posted across these three months.


Rate figures: Federal Reserve FOMC statements and Summary of Economic Projections; Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Sales figures: CRMLS.


If you're thinking about selling


July was actually a better month to be a seller than June. More than half of sales closed at or above asking and time on market came back down to 17 days. If you were watching the median and feeling discouraged, you were watching the wrong number.


If you're thinking about buying


The attached market in San Marcos is where the value question is most interesting right now, with a typical closing near $702,500 against $1,160,000 for a house.

        <title>What Sold in Vista, July 2026: Six in Ten Closed At or Above Asking</title>

Figures reflect 62 closed residential sales in Vista during July 2026. Data obtained 2026-08-03.Based on information from California Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc. as of 2026-08-03 and/or other sources. All data, including all measurements and calculations of area, is obtained from various sources and has not been, and will not be, verified by broker of MLS. All information should be independently reviewed and verified for accuracy. Properties may or may not be listed by the office/agent presenting the information.




62 closings, a median of $856,125, and 59.7 of them closed at or above the asking price. That was the highest share Vista recorded in any month of the spring.




59.7 of sales closed at or above the asking price


Median 13 days on market, the fastest of the three months


$469 per square foot, the lowest reading of the spring




Six in ten Vista homes closed at or above asking, and the median still fell.


Those two facts sit together because they measure different things. The share closing at or above asking tells you whether sellers picked the right number. The median tells you what happened to sell. July's Vista sales were smaller and cheaper per foot, so the median came down even as individual sellers did well. On a three month basis Vista was 6.3 below the same period a year ago, the softest reading of the five cities.


The average 30-year mortgage dipped to 6.43 percent the week of 2 July, then climbed to 6.66 percent by the 30th. When the Fed held at 3.5 to 3.75 percent on 29 July, the vote was 9 to 3 and all three dissenters wanted a quarter-point hike, not a cut. Vista got faster while money got more expensive. Homes sold in 13 days, down from 14 in June and 16 in May, and 59.7 percent closed at or above asking, up from 56.7 in June and 49.3 in May and the highest of the five cities in July. The other half of that picture: 37.1 percent of July's sales had taken a price cut first. Priced right, Vista moves. Priced wrong, it waits.


Rate figures: Federal Reserve FOMC statements and Summary of Economic Projections; Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Sales figures: CRMLS.


If you're thinking about selling


37 of July's sellers cut before closing, up sharply from 23 in June. Read that alongside the 60 who closed at or above asking and the message is clear. This market pays full price for a correct number and punishes an ambitious one.


If you're thinking about buying


Thirteen days is fast, but Vista still has the lowest cost per square foot in North County by a clear margin and about 2.6 months of supply. The value case here is intact.

Figures reflect 5 closed residential sales in Ocean Hills Country Club during July 2026. Data obtained 18 August 2026. Based on information from California Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc. as of 18 August 2026 and/or other sources. All data, including all measurements and calculations of area, is obtained from various sources and has not been, and will not be, verified by broker of MLS. All information should be independently reviewed and verified for accuracy. Properties may or may not be listed by the office/agent presenting the information.


Five homes closed in Ocean Hills Country Club in July, matching June and behind only January’s four. Thirteen new listings came on in the same thirty-one days, matching May for the most in any month this year. Those two facts together are the whole July story, and neither of them is about prices falling.


The number that looks alarming is price per square foot. It has printed lower almost every month this year: $661 in January, $641 in April, $609 in June, $596 in July. Read as a line on a chart, that is a market losing close to ten percent in seven months. It is not. Compare each size of home against the same size a year ago and three of the four bands are up. What changed is which homes sold, not what they are worth.

Twenty-four square feet apart. Same street. Nine days apart. Three hundred and eighty thousand dollars apart. And the one that sold for less had the bigger lot and the extra bathroom.




Everything that explains a $380,000 gap between these two homes lives in the part of the record the data cannot see.




The MLS can measure square footage, lot size, bedrooms, bathrooms and year built. It cannot measure a kitchen redone last year against one redone in 2004. It cannot measure which way the windows face, whether the golf course is in front of you or behind a fence, or how the light falls at four in the afternoon. When two nearly identical homes on one street close $380,000 apart in the same month, the explanation is entirely in the part no spreadsheet holds. That is the best argument there is against pricing your home from an online estimate, and July handed us a clean one.

Where the price per foot actually went


Here is the same year cut by size of home rather than by month. Each band is compared against the same band in the same seven months of 2025, so the mix cannot move the answer.

January through July, both years. The 1,800 to 2,199 band is the only one with a sample large enough to lean on.


Three of four bands up, and the falling monthly line explained: the small homes that carry the highest price per foot made up less of July than they did in January. A community median moves when the mix moves. It is not a price.


The wider backdrop


The average 30-year mortgage dipped to 6.43 percent the week of 2 July, then climbed to 6.66 percent by the 30th. When the Federal Reserve held its target range at 3.5 to 3.75 percent on 29 July, the vote was 9 to 3 and all three dissenters wanted a quarter-point hike, not a cut. Buyers waiting for cheaper money did not get a signal in July. Ocean Hills is a largely equity-driven 55-plus market, so it feels rate moves less directly than most, but its buyers still have to sell something to get here.


Rate figures: Federal Reserve FOMC statements and Summary of Economic Projections; Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Sales figures: CRMLS.


Inventory


Thirteen homes were listed in July and five closed. As of the 18 August data pull there were seven homes for sale in Ocean Hills against a trailing pace of about eight sales a month, which is roughly 0.9 months of supply. Six months is generally taken as balanced. Ocean Hills has not been near balanced at any point this year.


One number worth stating plainly, because it is easy to get wrong: several additional Ocean Hills listings are rentals rather than resales. They are excluded from every figure on this page.


If you are thinking about selling


July is the argument for pricing at the market on day one, made twice on one street. The home that asked the right number sold in two days above it. The home that opened at $1,199,000 in the spring cut once, took 53 days, and still closed $199,000 below where it started. Under one month of supply means a correctly priced Ocean Hills home is still among the easier homes to sell in North County. It does not mean the market will absorb an ambitious number and hand it back to you later.


Which floor plan you own matters more than the community median. Ask what your plan has done against itself, not what Ocean Hills did on average.


If you are thinking about buying


Seven homes for sale is not a selection, and the good ones are still going in single-digit days at full price. The opportunity in July was the opposite end: two homes that sat for a month or more and closed 3.3 and 9.0 below what they were asking on the day they sold. Those exist in every month, they are rarely the ones being talked about, and finding them needs someone watching daily rather than checking a portal on a Sunday.

Frequently asked questions


Did Ocean Hills prices fall in July 2026?


No. The median closed price was $1,015,000 against $1,018,500 in July 2025, which is flat, and comparing homes of the same size against the same size a year ago, three of the four size bands were higher. The falling price-per-square-foot line reflects which homes sold, not what they are worth.


How many homes sold in Ocean Hills Country Club in July 2026?


Five closed residential sales, matching June. Only January was lighter, at four.


What is the median home price in Ocean Hills Country Club?


The median closed price across the first seven months of 2026 was $1,100,000, on 50 sales. July alone was $1,015,000 on five sales.


How fast do homes sell in Ocean Hills?


The median across the first seven months of 2026 is 9.5 days. July was slower at 24 days, the slowest month of the year, on a five-sale sample.


How much inventory is there in Ocean Hills Country Club?


Seven homes were for sale as of 18 August 2026, about 0.9 months of supply at the current pace. Six months is generally considered balanced.


Is Ocean Hills Country Club a good place to buy right now?


That depends on your timeline and which floor plan you want. What the data supports is that supply is very tight, well priced homes sell in single-digit days, and the homes that sit are usually the ones that opened above the market. We do not make market predictions.


Why is price per square foot different from the median price?


The median price answers “what did the middle home sell for”. Price per square foot answers “what did a foot of house cost”. When smaller homes make up more of a month the median falls while the price per foot rises, and the reverse. Neither one alone tells you what your home is worth.


Market terms, explained


Median. The middle number, not the average. Half the sales were higher, half lower. Less easily distorted by one very large sale, but it still moves when the mix of homes sold changes.


Price per square foot. Closed price divided by living area. Useful because it does not care how big the house is, which makes it the better tool for comparing one year against another.


Days on market. Days between going live and going into contract, not to closing. Escrow in this market typically adds about another four weeks.


Percent of list. Closed price against the final asking price. A home that cut and then sold at asking shows 100 here, which is why we also show percent of the original ask.


Months of supply. Homes for sale divided by the recent monthly pace of sales. Roughly how long it would take to sell everything if nothing new arrived. Around six months is generally called balanced.


Mix shift. When an average changes because different kinds of home sold, not because values moved. The most common way a market statistic misleads.

Figures reflect 5 closed residential sales in Ocean Hills Country Club during June 2026, drawn from The Lund Team’s Ocean Hills transaction records and verified 26 July 2026. Based on information from California Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc. as of 26 July 2026 and/or other sources. All data, including all measurements and calculations of area, is obtained from various sources and has not been, and will not be, verified by broker of MLS. All information should be independently reviewed and verified for accuracy. Properties may or may not be listed by the office/agent presenting the information.


For the second consecutive month, every closed sale in Ocean Hills finished at $1 million or higher. Five sales in June, all detached, and the standouts made a real statement:




A St. Tropez on a premium private lot


A large San Remo with owned solar closing at $1.82 million


A Delphi-2 on an elevated lot in Portofino




The pattern is consistent with what we've been seeing all year: buyers pay real premiums for privacy, elevation, view, and modern touches (owned solar, updated systems). The bigger detached plans, San Remo, Mystra, Bellagio, Antibes, have their strongest demand in years.


If you're thinking about selling


If your home is detached and has any location premium at all, we should talk about pricing strategy before you list. The market is rewarding sellers who understand what their specific home is actually worth in this moment, not last year, not the average.


If you're thinking about buying


Competition for the best detached homes is real, and the &quot;wait for a discount&quot; playbook isn't working for these plans. When you find the right one, be ready.


Text or call 760-533-7684, we track every closed sale in OHCC, and we're happy to walk you through what your specific plan and lot are doing.

Figures reflect 122 closed residential sales in Carlsbad during June 2026. Data obtained 2026-08-03.Based on information from California Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc. as of 2026-08-03 and/or other sources. All data, including all measurements and calculations of area, is obtained from various sources and has not been, and will not be, verified by broker of MLS. All information should be independently reviewed and verified for accuracy. Properties may or may not be listed by the office/agent presenting the information.




122 closings, and the median jumped to $1,660,000, up $260,000 from May. Before reading that as a one month surge, look at what actually closed.




86 of June's 122 sales were detached houses, up from 68 in May


A $5,025,000 sale in the 92008 beach area


Three separate sales closed between $260,000 and $355,000 above asking, each within five days




The median rose $260,000 in a month. Detached houses went from 59 of sales to 70.


That is most of the move right there. Detached homes closed at a median of $1,877,500 in June and attached at $855,000, so the blended figure swings hard when the mix does. On a three month view Carlsbad sat 2.6 above the same quarter a year ago, and that is the number worth carrying around.


On 17 June the Fed held at 3.5 to 3.75 percent on a 12 to 0 vote, under Chair Kevin Warsh, three weeks into the job. The statement dropped forward guidance, and the median projection for the end of 2026 came in at 3.8 percent, which points at a hike rather than a cut. The average 30-year barely moved, 6.48 percent on 4 June and 6.49 percent on the 25th. Carlsbad's June was the detached market's month: 122 closings at a median of $1,660,000, the highest median of the three months here, in 15 days.


Rate figures: Federal Reserve FOMC statements and Summary of Economic Projections; Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Sales figures: CRMLS.


If you're thinking about selling


June rewarded sellers who were realistic. Homes closed at 99.5 of the final asking price and 47.5 at or above it. But a third of June's sellers cut their price on the way there, the highest share of the spring. A price cut is not a disaster. Needing one is a decision you made weeks earlier.


If you're thinking about buying


Median time on market crept up to 15 days. In practice that meant the well priced houses were gone in a week and the rest sat. When something good comes up you will not have a long weekend to think about it.

Figures reflect 46 closed residential sales in Encinitas during June 2026. Data obtained 2026-08-03.Based on information from California Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc. as of 2026-08-03 and/or other sources. All data, including all measurements and calculations of area, is obtained from various sources and has not been, and will not be, verified by broker of MLS. All information should be independently reviewed and verified for accuracy. Properties may or may not be listed by the office/agent presenting the information.




46 closings, a median of eight days on market, and a median sale price exactly equal to the final asking price. June was the cleanest month Encinitas has had this year.




A $5,337,500 sale closed $937,500 above its asking price after ten days


56.5 of June's sales closed at or above the asking price


Only 15 of sellers cut their price first, half the May share




The typical Encinitas home sold for exactly what it asked, in eight days.


The median came in at $1,937,500, below May, and that is a mix story rather than a price story: attached homes made up 35 of June's sales at a median of $1,408,750, against 31 in May. On the three month view Encinitas was 9.0 above a year ago, its strongest reading of the spring.


On 17 June the Fed held at 3.5 to 3.75 percent on a 12 to 0 vote, under Chair Kevin Warsh, three weeks into the job. The statement dropped forward guidance, and the median projection for the end of 2026 came in at 3.8 percent, which points at a hike rather than a cut. The average 30-year barely moved, 6.48 percent on 4 June and 6.49 percent on the 25th. Encinitas closed in 8 days in June, its fastest reading of the year, with 56.5 percent at or above asking and only 15.2 percent having taken a price cut. Eight days and full asking price is not a market waiting on the Fed.


Rate figures: Federal Reserve FOMC statements and Summary of Economic Projections; Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Sales figures: CRMLS.


If you're thinking about selling


This is the month that shows what correct pricing does in Encinitas. Sellers who set the number properly got it, in eight days, and more than half of them got it or better. The 15 who cut were the exception rather than the pattern.


If you're thinking about buying


Eight days is not enough time to be indecisive. If you are shopping Encinitas seriously, finish the financing conversation before you start looking rather than after you find the house.

Figures reflect 180 closed residential sales in Oceanside during June 2026. Data obtained 2026-08-03.Based on information from California Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc. as of 2026-08-03 and/or other sources. All data, including all measurements and calculations of area, is obtained from various sources and has not been, and will not be, verified by broker of MLS. All information should be independently reviewed and verified for accuracy. Properties may or may not be listed by the office/agent presenting the information.




180 homes closed in Oceanside in June, more than any other city in any month of this spring, and 17 more than June last year.




180 closings, the largest single month anywhere in this data


13 of them were homes built in 2024 or later


Detached homes closed at a median of $991,500, just under the million mark




One hundred and eighty homes changed hands in Oceanside in a single month.


The median was $890,000 and Oceanside again closed at 100 of asking, the second month running. Time on market stretched to 16 days from 12 in May, and the share closing at or above list eased from 63.6 to 53.9. That is what more choice looks like rather than what weakness looks like. Three months to June, Oceanside was 5.1 ahead of a year ago.


On 17 June the Fed held at 3.5 to 3.75 percent on a 12 to 0 vote, under Chair Kevin Warsh, three weeks into the job. The statement dropped forward guidance, and the median projection for the end of 2026 came in at 3.8 percent, which points at a hike rather than a cut. The average 30-year barely moved, 6.48 percent on 4 June and 6.49 percent on the 25th. Oceanside had the busiest month anywhere in North County at 180 closings, more than any other city posted in any of these three months, at a median of $890,000.


Rate figures: Federal Reserve FOMC statements and Summary of Economic Projections; Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Sales figures: CRMLS.


If you're thinking about selling


More competition on the market means the first two weeks matter more, not less. Oceanside sellers are still getting full asking price when the price is right. 22 cut first in June, up from 17 in May.


If you're thinking about buying


This is the month to point at when someone tells you there is nothing for sale. Oceanside had 180 closings and 314 homes active in early August. There is more to choose from here than anywhere else in North County.
