Market Activity for February 9-15, 2009

Last week’s activity was slow, to put it mildly. There were 9 genuine new listings: meaning that they were not previously listed either by another Realtor or at a higher price. There were 4 houses that went pending, and zero closed sales. Probably the most interesting thing I observed is that of the pending sales, 3 out of the 4 sold in 35 days or less. I checked the market history on all of them and these sales really did happen that quickly. So there is a place where market demand meets current economic conditions and properties sell. I also think that buyers who are in the market are watching the inventory and jumping on the good deals. On the flip side is the 4th pending sale. It took 574 days to receive an accepted offer. It was originally listed for $1,199,000 and finally priced dropped, after such a long market time, to $689,000 in order to get it gone.
