House Arrest

A quick dive on several important topics including national and local housing market trends:

National Housing Market

  • Median listing price down 1% year-over-year, marking the 17th consecutive week of price stagnation or decline
  • New listings up 8% year-over-year, driven by falling mortgage rates encouraging more sellers to enter the market
  • Active inventory up 33.2% year-over-year
  • Homes on market 6 days longer than in 2023

Monterey County Market

  • Median sales price still up, 5.5% year-over-year despite peaking in June
  • Active listings at highest level in several years, despite number of new listings peaking in May
  • Q3 2024: $3MM+ home sales up 31% year-over-year; home sales in these price brackets are at the highest level since the peak of the pandemic boom. Higher-priced homes have been outperforming the general market by a wide margin
  • September 2024: Price reductions up 30% year-over-year, but still not particularly high compared to long-term norms
  • Q3 2024: Average sale price 3% under list price
  • Cash purchases at highest levels since 2012
