Point Loma San Diego Real Estate – Home Supply

Many Point Loma San Diego real estate investments have faired well over the long term. Longtime homeowners in Point Loma have typically enjoyed substantial appreciation in home values over the decades. Despite the favorable track record historically, market conditions have, of course, still varied. One key component of determining the type of market we are currently seeing in Point Loma San Diego real estate is the level of supply. Taking a look at both the number of active listings along with the inventory (measured in months) sheds light on what type of market Point Loma is experiencing.

The months of inventory charted here is also known as the absorption rate. Our data provider defines this as: “Active Listings at the end of a given month, divided by the average monthly closed Sales for the last 12 months.” In essence, if there were suddenly no more new listings, the inventory level would describe how many months it would take for existing demand to purchase the remaining listings.

Although the number varies and is somewhat arbitrary, some economists will use a six month threshold for evaluating supply. Anything shorter than six months of inventory is generally viewed as a seller’s market. Anything greater than six months is generally seen as a buyer’s market. For some historic context, the last 15 years has had significant variation in inventory levels. We have seen months of inventory spike to over ten months in 2007-2011 during the great recession, and dip to unseen lows of close to one month in the early part of 2021. With the magic six month threshold equating to a “healthy” mix of buyers and sellers, Point Loma and San Diego in general have spent the majority of recent years firmly in seller’s market territory.

Point Loma San Diego Real Estate – Market Time and Pending Sales

With tight inventory generally prevailing, it is not surprising that the time on market tends to dip when inventory is low. When you couple low inventory with the high demand spurred, in part, by historically low interest rates, some remarkably short market times can result. In times of greater inventory and/or lighter demand, market times tend to stretch out more. It is also common that the more expensive the home, the longer the market time. There are simply far fewer buyers of multi-million dollar luxury homes vs buyers of homes closer to the median home price in San Diego. The Active Market time you see below is defined as the median number of days between when a property is listed in Point Loma and when an offer is accepted in a given month.

Many real estate stats focus on closed sales. Closed sales are vital from many perspectives, especially in terms of determining market prices. However, closed sales are a glimpse into the past rather than the future. Pending sales, as shown here, are a count of the properties on which contracts have been accepted in a given month. These pending sales can sometimes provide insight into where a market is headed.
