monthly sales data: Pickens County GA Real Estate Report for November / October, 2010 - 03/05/11 11:55 AM
A brief snapshot of real estate market activity in Pickens County, Georgia, for November and December, 2010, shows continued relative stability in terms of sales volume and price, with no noteworthy signs of improvement, but also with no indication that conditions are deteriorating in any major way at this time. Prices continue to struggle in the face of distress sales, but declines are more limited than we were seeing.
Comparisons for both November and December reflect year-on-year number of homes sold remaining pretty close to level (23 for November and 12 for December). November 2010, average sale price declined to $205,734, … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Jasper Georgia Real Estate Sales Data for September & October, 2010 -- Holding Steady - 12/31/10 03:35 PM
The good news is that listing inventory as of this writing is down to 487 homes for sale in Pickens County, GA. While this is likely seasonal, with many potential sellers on the sidelines over the holidays, it still presents an opportunity for those houses still on market to see some activity -- and there does some to be some activity in the housing market lately.
While September dipped a little off August's sales of 35 homes, it did so only marginally, and, at 31 homes placed under contract of sale, performed better than last September. Average sale price was an … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Pickens County Georgia Home Sales Market Report for July & August, 2010 - 10/11/10 04:08 PM
The good news for home sales in and around Jasper, Georgia, is that the numbers seem to be holding, with no significant declines month-on-month or year-on-year, but, the pattern continues to be an erratic series of ups and downs within a set range.
When averaged over a longer period than the monthly snapshot given here, overall sales volume for 2010 is likely to be similar to 2009. Average home sale prices likewise bounce around from month to month, with some months better than others, which is to be expected in the face of low sales volume, but it makes identifying trends … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Jasper Georgia Market Data Report for May & June 2010 - 08/25/10 06:21 AM
As suggested might be the case in my previous market report, the bump in April home sale numbers for Pickens County, Georgia, may be attributable more to a rush of buyers trying to get in ahead of the tax credit deadline than an improvement in market conditions . . . buyers that would otherwise have purchased a home in May. As a result, the number of homes sold in May came in at only eleven -- less than half the number sold in May 2009 (23).With such a small number of homes sold, the average and median sale prices are obviously going to … (4 comments)

monthly sales data: Pickens County GA Real Estate Sales Statistics for March & April 2010 - 06/22/10 04:05 PM
Perhaps the federal tax credit may have had some impact on home sales in the Jasper, Georgia, area for March and April, 2010. Perhaps not. I'm not sure we'll ever know. Where March numbers were relatively flat month-on-month and year-on-year, April did show a notable surge in houses placed under contract, but whether this is attributable to the tax credit or seasonal shifts remains hidden.
March home sales hovered at 14 -- the same as for March 2009, but still only half that of March 2008, which had 28 home sales. While the average sale price improved slightly to $189,912, the median sale price continued to … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Jasper Georgia Home Sales Data for January & February, 2010. - 03/28/10 07:39 PM
About the most remarkable change to listing and sales activity of homes in Pickens County Georgia for the past couple of months, is the increase in inventory. The number of homes for sale in the Jasper GA area has climbed from 504 active listings at the time of my last report, to 542 listings at this writing.Outside of that, the 18 homes placed under contract in January is slightly better than January of the prior year (15), but still below the 21 sold in January 2008. A slight slip in average price to around the $175,000 mark, and a median price of … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Pickens County GA Real Estate Sales Data for November / December 2009: Leveling Off - 02/04/10 03:08 PM
Following on some gains in sales numbers in the past few months, the months of November and December appeared to reflect more of a leveling off to numbers fairly comparable to sales data for Jasper, Georgia, during the same period in previous years.
The way the numbers stacked up, November 2009, had 26 sales, versus 22 the previous year, and 24 the year before that, so a slight, if not remarkable improvement. Average Pickens County home sale price also was higher than the prior year, moving from $178,245 to $195,380, but much lower than 2007's average of $285,485. The ratio of list price … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Jasper Georgia Home Sales Stats for September and October 2009. - 12/02/09 11:01 AM
While the picture remains veiled as to what the local real estate market will do in the next week, month or year, sales numbers posted for September & October of this year continue to lend support to some level of stabilization.The 26 homes reported as placed under contract or sold in the Jasper GA area for September 2009 -- while slightly off the 27 sold in 2008, and the 32 in 2007 -- reflect an improvement over the previous month, in which only 23 sales were reported. October's listed sales and pending sales in turn fared slightly better than September, with 27 homes under … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Pickens County Georgia Real Estate Data: August 2009 - 10/14/09 11:10 AM
It appears that the positive trend we had been seeing in Jasper GA home sales in the early part of the summer took a turn for the worse in August.The number of homes placed under contract or sold, 24*, was 20% lower than August 2008, and 33% below 2007's numbers. It also reflects a notable decline from the prior month's sales numbers. The average closed sale price of $219,072 for those transactions that have closed holds some promise on the pricing side of things, although still at a very low list-to-sale price ratio.
Of the 24 transactions, seven of the homes were … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Jasper Georgia Home Sales, July 2009: A Good Month for Pickens County Real Estate? - 09/09/09 12:09 PM
As hoped for and expected, July 2009 saw a notable improvement in house sales in Jasper GA, as compared to both prior year numbers, and prior month home sale numbers, for the Pickens County area. And not by a small amount either.Reported pending sales for July jumped 43%, to 30 homes placed under contract, from 21 in June '09 . . . and doubling from only 15in July 2008. Equally significant is the fact that average sale price for those transactions that have already closed falls close to $226,000, versus an average sale price in June of closer to $184,000, and $187,000 for July 2008. This suggests … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Home Sales for Pickens County Georgia, June 2009: The Positive Trend Continues - 07/27/09 04:58 PM
Following what appears to be a national trend, real estate sales in the Jasper GA area showed yet another year-on-year improvement for the month of June. June's 21 pending home sales in Pickens County GA, is a 16% increase over June 2008, but, as has been the case for monthly sales data throughout the year, it still falls well below 2007's numbers, which came in about 45% higher, at 38 homes sold. It also reflects a month-to-month decline from May, which had 24 sales.The average list price for the houses under contract was near $177,000 -- in line with the lower selling prices that have defined the market this year, even in … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Jasper Georgia Home Sale Data for May 2009 . . . The Upward Trend Continues! - 06/28/09 11:34 AM
It's great to be able to report on Pickens County GA real estate data that is leaning toward the positive for a second month in a row!For May 2009, the number of homes listed for sale in the Jasper GA area that were placed under contract of sale came in at 24 . . . 26% higher than May 2008 (but still well below 2007's numbers). While this is actually a slight decline from the previous month's home sales, this dip is not unusual. A look back at 2007 & 2008 would show a similar month-on-month decline from April to May -- a … (2 comments)

monthly sales data: Pickens Georgia Real Estate Market Report: Home Sales Data for April 2009 - 05/29/09 10:09 AM
As hinted at in last month's Jasper Georgia home sales report, it appeared possible that we would see a slight improvement in the number of houses placed under contract of sale in Pickens County for April 2009. Sure enough, both in prior month AND year-on-year comparisons, April '09 performed better than both. This is definitely a positive sign, but still a way to go before announcing a major turn around.A total of 26 homes* were entered as either pending / contingency sales or closed transactions, which is a significant improvement over March '09 numbers and a 30% increase in sales over April 2008! Still trailing 2007 posted data by more … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Pickens County Georgia Real Estate Sales Data for March, 2009 - 05/02/09 12:02 PM
While the number of homes placed under contract in the month of March improved over February's numbers (which is to be expected at this time of year), in my opinion, the number fails to indicate a significant turning point in the local housing market.Out of 500+ homes for sale in the Jasper Georgia area, eighteen pending sales is a relatively small number, and is still almost 36% below numbers posted in March 2008 -- an already declining market. When compared with March 2007, the number of houses sold last month reflect a drop of greater than 50%, so certainly nothing worthy of note.With the … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Jasper GA Home Sales: Pickens County Real Estate Data for February 2009 - 03/15/09 09:37 PM
To put it bluntly, the number of available homes for sale in Jasper GA actually placed under contract in the month of February, pretty much sucked! No way to sugarcoat it . . . Out of 500+ homes for sale in all of Pickens County, only eight were identified as pending sales! Of those eight, three were in Big Canoe. The remaining five were all priced below $200,000 (in fact, in each of the last two months, only ONE of the homes placed under contract in each month has been priced above $300,000, and both of those were in the Big Canoe community).By contrast, February … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Pickens County GA Real Estate: Home Sales Data for January 2009 - 02/08/09 02:31 PM
An inauspicious start to the new year . . .
Eleven houses currently listed as "Pending" sales for the month of January 2009, with 2 others in some form of contingency contract status, and two sold. Assuming that all pending sales and contingency contracts actually close (a rarity), that would put the total number of sales at 15 for the month. Slightly better than December's numbers -- which is usually the case for January -- but still way off when compared to the same month in previous years.January 2008 reflected 21 homes sold in the Jasper GA / Talking Rock / … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Jasper Georgia Real Estate: House Sale Data for December 2008 - 01/12/09 09:46 PM
As anticipated, home sales in the Pickens County area dipped even lower during December 2008, as the effect of the holidays, weather, and economic uncertainty further inhibited already reduced sales activity. Only 14 homes were placed under contract for the whole month, roughly half of which have yet to close, making any kind of conclusion about final sale prices or averages difficult. At this point, it appears average sale price will fall under $200,000, which is in keeping with last month's sales data, which put the average home sale price in Jasper at around $174,000 for November 2008 (at a list-to-sale ratio … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Pickens County GA Real Estate: Home Sales Market Report for November 2008 - 12/06/08 08:41 PM
November home sales in Jasper GA, fared only slightly better than sales activity for October '08. Eighteen homes were placed under contract, slightly higher than October, but still off 25% from 2007 numbers, and down 50% from 2006. Average list price of pending sales stood at $203,438 -- also better than October -- and average number of days on market dipped to only 59. Of the 18, seven were listed as either foreclosure or bankruptcy homes (39% of all sales).Overall inventory of homes for sale in Pickens County GA declined for another month, dropping to 539 houses available, at an average list … (0 comments)

monthly sales data: Jasper GA Real Estate Market Report: October 2008 - 11/13/08 12:14 PM
After reporting on what appeared to be some slight improvement in Pickens County GA home sales in the last two months, October has unfortunately reversed the trend . . .With only roughly 15 houses either under contract or sold for the month of October, this marks a substantial decline when compared to both year-on-year numbers, and prior month sales, showing a greater than 50% drop in both areas. Notably, more than half the homes placed under contract were bank-owned foreclosures, which fact is likely to be reflected in the average sale price and list to sale price ratio, which had already … (1 comments)

monthly sales data: Jasper Georgia Real Estate Activity: September 2008 - 10/05/08 02:55 PM

Eight of the twenty-six homes under contract are listed as bank-owned foreclosures -- more than 30%! While Big Canoe … (0 comments)
