We’ve had a mini-surge in listings over the last few days! There will be a few more added to the MLS this week, but it looks like the total for the first two months of the year will wind up in the 760-785 range.

NSDCC New Listings Jan 1 to Feb 28 (as of March 4th):

2018: 783

2019: 760

Padres’ Tickets Contest – Guesses Under 800:

740 – Doughboy

755 – Neil

777 – Bb

785 – Recordsclerk

799 – TominLaCosta

We wanted to gauge whether there was any panic setting in among sellers, judged by how many more were rushing their home onto the market early in the selling season. If there would have been a surge of 5% to 10% more listings during the first two months of this year, it could have been a tipping point.

But as it turns out, we’ll be lucky to match last year’s total.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Closed sales are better than expected:

NSDCC Closed Sales:

Year	January	February	Median SP YTD	Avg $$/sf YTD
2017	175	173	$1,222,000	$513/sf
2018	150	164	$1,294,005	$573/sf
2019	150	171	$1,275,000	$540/sf

(Updated March 11th)

The 2019 median list price and sales price were the same $1.275M!

But the NSDCC Pendings are stalling, and now 19% under last year’s total at this time, so I’ll stick with my -20% guess on sales. We got off to a hot start this year, but the enthusiasm is slowing – based on this:

Weekly Total Pendings

Week	2018	2019	% diff
Jan	244	217	-11%
Feb	262	233	-11%
Feb	280	255	-9%
Feb	295	263	-11%
Feb	318	261	-18%
Mar	328	267	-19%

The average list-price-per-square-foot of listings priced under $1,500,000 has been flat lately, and about the same as last year. But listings priced between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000 are averaging about 10% higher LP/$ than last year.

A sluggish selling season would probably end earlier than usual, but give us at least a couple of more months, please!

I blame the weather for my epic miss.

whether there was any panic setting in among sellers

Let’s see if SALT tips the balance.

All of Southern California experienced a drop in sales in January, but Ventura County had the biggest with a 21 percent drop in sales compared to the same time last year.

It was followed by Orange and San Diego counties, both down 20 percent; Riverside County, down 17 percent; Los Angeles County, down 16 percent; and San Bernardino County, down 13 percent.
