Summary: Good news and bad news
Last month we report the first good news in our market with a decreasing absorption rate. Well, the rate ticked up slightly in November, but price reductions were down significantly. The median sales price is now that same as it was in January of 2005.
The total inventory of single family homes rose slightly and the trend indicates that things will get worse before the get better. However, on the national scene there are signs of improvement If the trend continues we could see our market bottoming out sometime in 2007.
The condo market is hardest hit with a 31% price depreciation from the high median sale price of 2005. Worst of all is the 12.3 month supply of condos for sale. There is no good news in the condo market. It’s is going to take a long while for the condo market to stabilize and start showing any gain.
We are selling homes and working with buyers. We have been blessed this year with the large portion of our business coming from repeat clients and referrals. Buyers have great opportunities and sellers are still doing well, provided they have owned their home for two years or more. Keep the vision, keep the faith, and stay positive!
