Daly City Real Estate Market Update March 2021

Note: Data is always 30 days behind for the previous month. This is in order to give the fullest picture of the market and the most accurate sales and pricing data. (ex., this month will show February 2021 data compared to February 2020). I’ve separated the data by zip codes 94015 and 94014 to show any differences in the market in these two areas. One month of data is meant to give a snapshot of the market in that time frame. To get a more robust understanding of the market looking at longer-term trends is more important.

 

Overall, home sales prices in Daly City increased both year-over-year and compared to January of this year. Inventory continues to be sparse, even though up compared to last year. February is typically a lower inventory month as sellers await the Spring market to put their homes up for sale. This is likely exacerbated this year due to the pandemic. It remains a seller’s market with demand outpacing supply, making this a good time for sellers to cash out.

Median Sales Price:

Median sales prices increased in all of Daly City in February. Zip code 94014 had a median price of $1,229,450, a year-over-year increase of 7.4%. Zip code 94015’s median sales price was $1,155,000, up almost 18% compared to last February.

Both were up over 30% year-over-year, but with such small numbers just one or 2 properties can mean a big change in the percentages.

Average days on market reflects the time it takes for a home to be put on the market to the time and offer is accepted.

Months Supply of Inventory:

Months Supply of Inventory, or MSI, depicts the absorption rate at which homes are selling. In other words, it shows the amount of time it would take to sell all available homes currently on the market based on current demand. MSI of 4-6 months reflects a balanced market. Less that that is considered a seller’s market; more is a buyer’s market.

In February zip code 94014 had 2.7 months of inventory, up 22% year-over-year. Zip code 94015 had just 1.4 months of inventory, yet was still up 23% compared to the same month last year. As we’ve been seeing for several years now, it continues to be a seller’s market.

Homes in zip code 94015 sold on average for $799 a square foot, down 5.6% year-over-year. A couple of factors that could affect cost per square foot include a property’s condition, demand for the home, and it’s overall size in square footage. Smaller homes tend to sell for a higher price per square foot.

The fine print: All information deemed reliable but not guaranteed or warranted. Data comes from MLS so does not include off-market and most new construction condo sales. The Bay Area real estate market is dynamic so statistics can change on a daily basis. These statistics are meant to be a snapshot of the day and time they were pulled.
