What This Means
Seaside's housing market is cooling noticeably as summer rolls on. While median prices continue climbing—up 5.7% year-over-year to $808,000—the real story is in the slowdown. Homes are sitting on the market 55% longer than last month, averaging 104 days before sale. That's a significant jump and suggests buyers are getting pickier or taking their time, likely due to persistent mortgage rates that haven't made homes more affordable despite modest price appreciation. The 10% month-over-month dip in sales volume reinforces this sluggish trend.
What's encouraging for sellers is that homes are still selling close to asking price—98.6% of list price—indicating there's still demand, just less urgency. However, the 52 active listings with a median ask of $972,500 tell us inventory is building. Sellers are pricing optimistically, but buyers appear cautious, creating a widening gap between expectations and reality.
For anyone watching Seaside, this looks like a stabilizing market after rapid appreciation. It's neither a buyer's nor seller's market right now, but rather a moment of equilibrium where both sides need to adjust their expectations. The extended marketing timeline suggests patience will be required from anyone buying or selling over the next few months.
