Arvada CO Home Sales $200-250,000 April 2012

What this report tells you: Last year was rough in this price range, but improvement in both median days on market and percentage of short sales and foreclosures is encouraging. This is a 'hot' price range for Arvada, and I expect to see further improvement.

The following information was obtained from Metrolist on May 10, 2012.  

This report includes only detached single family Arvada homes that sold between $200,000 and $250,000 in April 2012.  I'm using the term 'distressed sales' to refer to short sales and foreclosures. A 'regular' sale may also have been 'distressed' in the sense that the home was in need of major work.

• Currently, there are 56 Arvada homes for sale in this price range. 4 of these homes are short sales, and 6 are foreclosures, bringing the percentage of distressed homes available to 18%.
