SD real estate update.

Sept 2005 sales:
3486 vs 3581 sept 2004, 3404 Aug 05
avg $627,060 vs $582,236 sept 2004, $641,151 Aug 05
days on market 53 vs 35 sept 2004, 49 Aug 05

Oct month to date is a pace of less than 2000 closings vs 3356 oct 2004. If this pace holds up, then it is a significant drop.

Oct month to date pending is around 3000. We are heading to the slower season. How slow this year?

This is a HOV project downtown that I have been keeping an eye on. Take a look at the price reductions.

Before I left on vacation a month ago, HOV had 7 units on the market. I was surprised to see that they have only 1 left and sold 6, though none have apparently closed yet. Upon further digging, it appears that they have drastically reduced the price to move them.

unit # old LP LP when sold (actual SP unknown right now)
1757 $1,873k $1,545k
1702 $968k $800k
1704 $1,010k $785k
1601 $679k $600k
1501 $666k $598k
1401 $653k $596k

I wonder how HOV dealt with the buyers who had paid more for similar units before?
