The average days on the market in 2012 was 51.  The average days on the market in 2011 was 60.  The average days on the market was dropping fastest in the last half of the year.   There was also an increase in the median price of homes sold in Stanislaus County in 2012.   The median price rose just over 5% for the year.  With the low inventory of available homes and the large number of buyers looking to get into the market that is another trend that should continue.

The percentage of Distressed Properties continues to drop but is still more than half of all homes sold.  For the year short sales outpaced bank owned sales.   This trend was especially true in the second half of the year and is one that should continue to accelerate.

We have been seeing more traditional sales start to come on the market and also we are seeing more investors buying homes on the court house steps and then reselling (flipping) them.  The percentage of Short Sales is still rising and the percentage of Bank Owned sales dropped significantly.  But I still think the bottom line is that Stanislaus County Short Sales and Bank Owned homes are not going away any time soon.

With more than half of all single family home sales in Stanislaus County being distressed sales if you are thinking about buying you need an agent that has experience with Distressed Properties.  A Stanislaus County Short Sale transaction and a Stanislaus County Bank Owned home sale are not the same thing.  You need someone that is experienced with both.  Someone that has experienced both short sales and bank owned sales from both sides of the transaction, as the listing agent and as the buyers agent. Some one that knows how to negotiate through the process from beginning to end.

I have that experience.  I have represented the banks in listing Bank Owned homes and represented buyers of bank owned homes.  I have represented the sellers of Stanislaus County Short Sales and represented buyers of Stanislaus County Short Sales.
