.: Central San Diego Real Estate Market Mid-Year Snapshot Of Median Prices (2006) Condominiums And Townhomes
Category:Home / Finance / Real Estate
As of this writing, the San Diego real estate markets appears to have shifted from one that favors sellers to one that favors buyers. However, this premise may not hold true for all communities within San Diego, as median prices for some communities continue to rise while others fall.
While there are many metrics to evaluate the real estate pricing trends of a community, one commonly used parameter is to evaluate the median price of townhomes and condominiums from one point in time against a prior point of time. The median price reflects the point at which half the units are above a particular price point, and half the units are below a particular price point. The median price metric provides one method to analyze the direction of home prices, but should not be used as the sole source of data from which to form conclusions.
The data below is a comparison of median prices for various communities in central San Diego County, comparing data from June 2005 against data for June 2006. This information is only one metric at a particular point in time, and other metrics or data from future months may support or dispute the pricing trends noted below. For some of the San Diego communities presented below, very few units sold during June 2006, which diminishes the usefulness of the median price metric.
