New Listings are Down – Sales are Up

December was an excellent month for sales.  Good new for sellers but distressing for buyers. Thirty-four homes were sold but only 17 came on the market in Laguna Niguel.  This was the Christmas season and other holidays.  Sellers and buyers were busy.  Many of the sales were put in escrow in November, the average days in escrow were 30.  But the result is there are fewer homes for buyers.  Today there are only 43 homes on the market.

The median sales price was $1,507,500 in December.

The year ended just about exactly how it started.   There was a spike during summer but it faded away and resumed the normal bumpy ride from month to month.  This is actually encouraging because interest rates were rising and we could have had a downturn in prices.
