What made the following Oceanside homes sell for what they did?  Were they priced correctly?  Were they clean and well staged?  Did everyone work for the benefit of both the home buyer and home seller?  Or were these homes abandoned, bank owned, REO homes that required an artist’s eye to see the value?

When you buy or sell Oceanside Real Estate you’re going to need to pay attention to each of the details above.  Don’t be fooled into thinking that your home will sell for so and so just because you’ve provided maintenance and loving care to your home for many years.  And don’t think that if you’re a buyer of Oceanside Real Estate that you can steal a home right out from underneath a seller.  Explore the homes below, compare them to your own home, and then do the right thing.  Call me to talk about how the sale of your Oceanside real estate home can net you everything you want, while at the same time bringing in multiple buyers who will be willing to pay what you need.

Actual national home inventory (although inventory in the San Diego housing market was way down) displayed an increase between February 2012 and March 2012, as well, and the average days on the market for a home decreased from 111 days to 89 days in that same month span, which are other positive indicators.  While median list prices vary across national markets, the data collected by Realtor.com indicated a slight upward swing, causing many a home owner to take note.

If you are considering buying a home or selling your current home, these statistics can provide insight into the current real estate market.  Combining these statistics with historically low interest rates (3.88% for a conventional 30 year mortgage last week), could help you in determining your decision. To get more details on the study and comparisons to previous months and years and see the actual graphing trends, please click here.

Overview of Oceanside CA Home Prices Reveals…….

The trend now is pretty clear.  Home prices for the Oceanside area have trended to a virtual pause.  That is, the housing market here in Oceanside is now very, very stable.  Prices and inventory of homes have not changed much in the past two months, and while buyers still benefit from the historically low interest rates that are available, there seems to be no trend toward prices falling any further.

The graph above (click on it to see it better) indicates that the home prices in Oceanside have truly stabilized, and while they are moving upward, they are doing so in a very slow and measured pace.

Oceanside’s Top Real Estate firm can help you buy or sell your home

Don Reedy and the Prudential California Realty team of experts are once again J.D. Powers and Associates best value for real estate in North San Diego County.  Enjoy reading about homes and other ideas here, and then when you want to see a home, or find out how to get the most for your home, give us a call.

Summer is here. What’s happening to Oceanside home prices?

If you click on the picture above you’ll see that the trend is stable, with some potential for a downward shift in prices.  What makes this clear is that the average price of an Oceanside home has remained stable at $359,900, while at the same time the inventory of homes on the market has increased.  Check out the chart below.

You will see that the number of homes for sale in Oceanside during the past 7 days has increased about 10% over what it has been averaging for the 90-day period coinciding with it.  If home prices were up, I’d say that was a good thing for Oceanside home prices; a sign that home valuations were solid.  But that’s not the case.  It looks as if the market is soft, and this is at a time of year (summer) when prices typically bound up.

It’s a good time to list your home for sale in Oceanside

No, I’m not crazy.  Even though home prices are stable, if your home is a great home, and you are willing to do what it takes to price your home correctly, and stage your home correctly, then the lowest interest rates in perhaps the last thirty years will help you sell now.

It’s a great time to buy a home in Oceanside

Is it possible that home prices will drop further?  Sure, but IMO not likely.  What is more likely is that prices will stay the same, and now, with an increasing number of Oceanside homes for sale, you will be able to find just the right home at just the right price.  And….the best mortgage rates you’ll ever see.

Thinking of buying or selling.  Call me today to talk and learn more.

But today, since it’s Friday, I am bringing out an old video I did about the El Camino Country Club some years ago. I hope you’ll laugh, or at least enjoy my attempt at some humor.

But one thing that hasn’t changed is that this golf course and tennis facility is fabulous. Contact Cyndi Melfi, the irrepressible membership director at the club, at 760-757-2100. She’s going to show you a great time, and a great facility, because El Camino Country Club is well…..just a great place to play and relax.

Well, it’s the one that is currently for sale at $5,295, 0o0.  Interested in finding out more about this home?

That’s it below.  You can click on the report to see it better.  The property is located in Saint Malo Beach, one of the most exclusive communities in all of San Diego County, and arguably one of the most beautiful.  This gated community is unseen by most, and the home above is  listed by one of San Diego’s best real estate agents, John Beran.  The listing above is his, and believe me when I say that any property that John represents is usually a rare and wonderful find.

You may be asking if this home truly is “expensive.”  Well, when you consider that this home has 75 feet of the Pacific Ocean’s sand as it’s front door step, and that there are over 200 properties in San Diego that are listed at over $5 million, then perhaps the phrase more correctly used in connection with this property is “high, high value.”

How Can I See or Buy This Oceanside Beach Home?

This home can be seen by appointment only, and if you believe this is a home you might potentially want to live in and enjoy, then I would like to arrange to show it to you.

Please call me at 760-802-9713 so that I can answer any questions you may have.  I’ll do my best to get you the information you need, and then if you want to move ahead with seeing the property, I will be happy to make the arrangements to do so.  Let me know if you’d like to see a video tour first, and I’ll be happy to do so.

The City of Oceanside has three major zip code areas. Here’s information on the sale of homes in Oceanside, in each of the major zip codes, 92054, 92056, and 92057. You may click on any of the pictures or charts in this post to zoom in.

Summary of Home Prices in Oceanside by Zip Code

Average Price Per Square Foot

• 92054 – $284
• 92056 – $210
• 92057 – $176

The information above reflects in large part the physical layout and most recent development of this wonderful beach front community.  Homes that lie within the 92054 zip code, some of which are actual beach properties, or lie within the Oceanside Redevelopment area downtown, naturally command a higher price.  It’s true, of course, that there’s only some much beach, and Oceanside’s beach is one of the most beautiful any place in the world.

Homes in the 92057 zip code, by contrast, have some number of homes that were just recently developed along the back gate area of Camp Pendleton.  Boasting the Arrowhead Golf Course, many of these homes fetched a much higher price when they were built, and that pricing structure continues to be good even now.

Homes in the 92056 area reflect many more of the established areas of Oceanside, from the very upscale to very affordable.

You’ll want to find homes by clicking on our Search for Homes button above, and then contacting us by email or phone to schedule an appointment to learn more about buying a home in Oceanside.  Don Reedy is one of the best real estate agents in Oceanside, and if it’s valuable information you want, from an active community professional, then starting your search for a home here will pay off handsomely in the end.
