September’s numbers show just how much the North County market can vary from city to city. 🏡
Oceanside currently offers the most selection, with 189 active detached listings and a median sales price of $936,625. Vista follows at $977,500 with 124 active listings, while Carlsbad’s median sits at $1,826,162 with 101 homes available. Encinitas remains the highest-priced of these four markets, with a median sales price of $2,525,000 and 82 active listings.
For buyers, more inventory can mean more homes to consider, but the best opportunities still depend on location, condition, and price point. For sellers, understanding the competition within your specific neighborhood is far more useful than relying on a citywide number alone.
If you're still considering a move before the end of the year, reach out for a closer look at your local market and an updated estimate of your home’s value. 💰
