March 2010 Real Estate Market Snapshot for Sisters, Oregon



Looks like both buyers and sellers are gearing up for the spring selling season in Sisters. In March, the number of Active listings increased in both Single Family Residences (from 87 in February to 92 in March) and Residential With Acreage (from 70 in February to 77 in March). Meanwhile, the number of pending and closed sales also increased (in part, no doubt, as a result of the federal homebuyer tax credit): from 10 in February to 21 in March.
