Why Encinitas Realtors and Homebuilders Need to Work Together

Inventory on homes for sale in Encinitas is at a significant low; as of this writing there are approximately 107 Encinitas homes on the market, down 48% from 204 homes for the same time this year. With the recovery of the housing market in full swing, more and more buyers are taking the opportunity to purchase resale homes, which is why homebuilders will soon play an integral role in providing more inventory.
