As of Monday February 6, 2012, the median price for a single family residential Carlsbad home has increased slightly to $629,500, with an average of 147 days on market, down 4 days from last weeks report.  Days on market have decreaased slightly over the last few weeks, with 46% of all listed properties having a price decrease in the last seven days.  Inventory levels have been relatively consistent given the current sell through rate.  As the tightening continues, we may see the market start to shift towards the Carlsbad home seller.  This week, the seven day moving price average made a strong move accross the 90 day moving average, which would suggest that price stabilization is starting to form in the Carlsbad housing market.

The latest figures from Northwest Multiple Listing Service show pending sales in January outgained the same month a year ago by 739 transactions. Brokers reported 6,132 mutually accepted offers in January to start the year with a 13.7 increase over the January 2011 figure of 5,393 pending sales.
