Southern CA, South Bay Area - Days on Market Stats

The number of days on the market before a home sells is gradually increasing, which is more evidence for our market slowing down. Please keep this term "slow down" in perspective, however. Prices are still high, interest rates are low, and homes are selling, just not in the hour and a half of market time that we had within recent years.

When we compare the number of homes available with the number of homes currently in escrow, it shows that the Southern California South Bay market is still strong with inventory at 2-3 months. That means that with the number of sales we have now, it takes a home about 2.6 months to sell. In other words, we have about 2-3 times the number of homes for sale than the rate that buyers are currently buying them. Part of the reason is that there are slightly more homes for sale than there were a year ago, and perhaps a bigger part of the reason is that buyers are cautious about buying now because they want to see what the market will do next.
