Low interest rates, higher loan limits for FHA and conventional loans, lower priced homes and sales of Foreclosed homes in San Diego reflect an increase of 16.4% in the total number of condo sold and an increase of 17.93% on the total number of detached homes sold in March compared to the previous month. This is the first time in a while that we see a month over month increase in the total number of units sold. Median prices compared to the previous month show a slight increase (1.35%) in condos sold while median price on detached homes sold remained flat.

As a reminder, these numbers represent condos and detached homes that closed escrow during the month of March and have actually been taken of the market during January or February. Sales of homes in San Diego are also expected to increase during the next coming months.
