How does this affect us locally?? Crazy times here in real estate here in East San Diego County.
Here is a look at the number of Active listings in many of our East County cities this June as compared to June of 2019.
As you can see, there is quite a decrease in the availability of homes for sale. What does that mean for a seller? It means that sellers in most cases have a lot of power, it’s a Seller’s market.
Buyers are having to compete and we are seeing bidding wars and offers going above asking price. Especially in the lower price points, for example in all of East County there are only 17 single family homes available under Five hundred thousand (500K). You can expect those home prices to get bid up. In fact, in most cases, anything under 600,000 is moving extremely fast.
