Marina Del Rey Condominium Market Report for January 2012

The Marina Del Rey Condominium Market report is a bit late this month. Nevertheless the information is important and close to two months ahead of the Main Stream media’s reporting of the information.

While the short term economic picture may be mired with uncertainty many indicators point to the financial strength of most companies, hence that will translate to consumer confidence and ultimately will reduce the high unemployment figures. That of course will help the Real Estate Activities. That in turn will help the economy.

So with that said let me recap December 2011’s numbers as well as January 2012’s so we can properly see the trends:

 

December 2011: There were 73 Active Condominiums on the market for sale; there were 5 accepting Backup Offers; 1 was on Hold (generally a Short Sale); 8 Pending and 27 Sold

 

January 2012: There were 99 Active Condominium on the market for sale; there were 16 accepting Backup Offers; 1 was on Hold (probably the same from December); 8 Pending to close Escrow and 16 Sold for the month.

 

 Marina Del Rey Luxury Ocean View Condominiums

 

The fact that the inventory increased and the Backup Status went up over 300 per cent all are indicators of life in the Marina Del Rey Condominium Market Activity.

Endre, I'm a little amazed to hear about all the back-up offers.  I'm in a transaction now that has 4 back-up  offers, fortunately ours has been accepted.  I think that's a good indication that the market is headed in a positive direction.

Nick every time I have a listing I try to get Backup Offers, I find it keeps the first buyer in line and if it does not than we do not have to go thru the drama of starting from the beginning in Marketing! we just slide into the next Escrow.
