May 9, 2019 (San Diego) – Sales of existing homes in San Diego County continued to rise in April, according to housing statistics compiled through the San Diego Multiple Listing Service by the GreaterSan Diego Association of REALTORS®.
Sales of previously owned single-family (detached) homes in April grew by 9 percent compared to March, and attached properties (condominiums and townhomes) were nearly 7 percent higher. Compared to the same month last year, sales of single-family homes are down 2 percent, and for attached properties they are 12 percent lower.
The median price of detached homes ticked up in April to $655,000, an increase of 4 percent over March and 2 percent over April of last year. Condos and townhomes, however, are unchanged since last month, settling at a median price of $420,000, which has changed little over the past year. There is an encouraging 3.8 percent increase in the supply of all homes on the market compared to the same month last year.
“Buyer demand is growing in force this spring,” said SDAR President Kevin M. Burke, JD. “For well-priced homes in desirable locations, I can tell you that competition is fierce.”
In April, the zip codes in San Diego County with the most single-family home sales were:
