Jacksonville, FL Traditional Vs. Lender Mediated Sales December 2009 Compared to December 2010

My local board provides this info for us to use, and I have to say, when you look at it this way, it's pretty interesting.

December 2009 Closed Sales                                           December 2010 Closed Sales               Variance

Traditional:             822                                                        653                                                          -20.6%

Lender Mediated:   559                                                        770                                                          +37.7%

Total Market:          1,381                                                     1,423                                                       +3.0%

Median Sales Price December 2009                                Median Sales Price December 2010       Variance

Traditional:             $162,000                                              $181,000                                                   +11.7%

Lender Mediated:   $110,000                                              $88,500                                                      -19.5%

Total Market:          $140,000                                              $130,000                                                     -7.1%

Tt is clearly evident from the above data the following is true:

• Average Traditional Median Sales Price is UP 11.7% year over year.
• The number of lender mediated sales is approximately 40% of the total market.

These are points the average media source is NOT focusing on.  There is good news in the local real estate market!
