Coastal Real Estate and Lifestyles

New Listings vs Number of Listings Sold during the three months 11/01/08 to 1/19/09.  Note January’s numbers are to date.  Some of these may be re-listed if they’ve been off the market for 30 days or more.  This is for the “single family homes” market in Half Moon Bay, El Granada, Moss Beach and Montara. (not condos, lots, commercial, etc.)  Pacifica is not included in these numbers.  Graph taken from Coldwell Banker’s Market Trends data, which I’m told is taken directly from the MLS (mlslistings.com).

This is not total inventory.  Total inventory is currently 99 single family homes for the coastside.  Half Moon Bay Bay - 16; El Granada - 53; Moss Beach - 11; Montara - 19.  It is normal for a bump in new listings to appear at the beginning of a new year.  Usually February and March show a larger increase in new listings.  This year, we’ll see if the local market continues a steady increase or gets the spring spike of new listings.
