Sales volume in the distressed home market in the Prescott AZ area is up to a record high this year with 36 homes closing in the first 15 days of June. This compares to 79 homes sold by traditional resales during the same period.
The average price per square foot for REO and short sales was $91 and the average time to sell was 123 days compared to $111 per square foot and 163 days on market for traditional resales. Traditional home sellers are continuing the trend of reducing their prices to sell against the foreclosures and short sales.
Short sales about 12% of sales: of the 36 homes sold, 4 were short sales (highlighted in yellow). REOs continue to sell at a much higher rate than short sales.
Over 47% of the homes sold at or more than asking price (see green highlight). Last week we were at 42%. This continues to be amazing in a "weak market." Also note that most of the ones that sold quickly (list is sorted by Cumulative Days on Market (CDOM) received full price offers.
Some of the buyers I am working with right now are trying to get 20% off of the bank's price. You can see how futile this exercise is when the average is only 2.1% off.
