Well here we are and it is the 5^th of July, 2009, I have been busy showing homes, condominiums as well as even land.

 It is the half way mark for the calendar year, so let us review the numbers and analyze the statistics.

         January                 February               March               April              May              June

  Active:   180                     185                      191                    199               184               197

Pending:  10                      13                         19                      20                  21                30                     

Accepting Backup:  11       15                        11                      17                  23                20

Sold:  12                             7                          16                      10                  18                18

As you can see that the Active inventory has increased from 180 in January to 197 in June this is approximately a 9 % increase year to date. Hence the buyers have a larger inventory pool to choose from.

 The Pending properties have increased as well from 10 pending to 30 pending that is quite phenomenal a 300 per cent increase from January to June. That is a clear indication the buyers are out and they are making offers on the properties that they perceive as a good value.

 Not only have the Pending increased, the properties that are currently in Escrow, but the buyers have not removed their contingencies are up as well. In January we had 11 Accepting Backup Offers and now in June we had 20 that are about an 80 % increase.

 Sold properties were in January 12 and now in June we had 18 this is a 50% increase. As we look at these numbers it is clear that this is not just a fluke, rather it has been a steady increase month over month with minor deviations. Some generated by Lender delays with appraisals, tightening of credit lending requirements and delays in the handling of the loans. Overall I see a very positive direction in the Marina Del Rey Condominium Market.
