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.

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.
