You cannot beat the beautiful beaches and top rated schools of Carlsbad. Here are the latest real estate trends for those who desire to join the many that have discovered the advantage of owning a Carlsbad home.

Carlsbad has seen some price adjustments and higher levels of inventory on the market for longer periods of time throughout 2006. Will there be more of the same this year?

Yes and no. The number of Carlsbad home sales will remain relatively flat this year. Home prices will continue to correct in some areas and turn the corner in others. Here are some specifics on how Carlsbad homes faired in January 2007:

ZIP Code Median Price Sold Listings Median
Days on Market
92008 $811,000 11 62
92009 $835,000 36 49
92010 $680,000 9 31

It truly is a great time to buy. Interest rates are at historically low rates. If you currently own a home and are planning on staying for the foreseeable future and have an adjustable rate mortgage, it is as good a time as ever to consider a stable fixed loan. Interest rates are expected to trend upward the latter part of this year and into 2008.

Job growth is stellar and consumer confidence is strong which continue to be a favorable sign for North San Diego County real estate.
