San Diego Real Estate | Inventory Watch

Inventory Watch: December 4, 2023

Last week, I speculated whether we will see a nice increase next year in the number of homes for sale. Rising inventory has been happening around the country….but not here, at least not yet:

But the NSDCC market today looks a lot like it did last year, which suggests we might have similar results. I keep notes every week, and this is how my five price categories (O-$1.5M, $1.5-$2.0M, $2.0-$3.0M, $3.0-$4.0M, and $4.0M+) and the quartiles compare YoY:

As much as it seems that we’re overdue for more inventory, we probably won’t get it.

The $0 – $1,500,000 Market:
