Therefore, based on the median sale price barometer (the barometer used by the NAR National Association of Realtors) within Beaver Creek On The Plains Subdivision, the market direction appears to be increasing.   The Average Sales Price has declined -$10,981 or -3.6%., indicating a new  trend of scaling down from buying the larger homes to the smaller homes, from more expensive homes down to the less
expensive homes.   Median Sales Price has increased +$22,112 or +8%.   Average Sold Price Per Sq. Ft. has increased +$1.80/sf or +1.39%.   Overall, this market appears to be stable.   HOWEVER,  the two (2) 2009 sales in Beaver Creek averaged $117.47/sf, $286,250, $286,250 median sales price  and were on the market for an average of 365 days, 285 DOM and 445 DOM.    So, the 2009 market is reflecting a slowdown, higher DOM and less per sq. ft..   A declining market is defined as, "A stage of diminishing demand in a market area's life cycle."    There is certainly less demand for homes in this price range and less homes selling in this price range.   Therefore, while property values appear to be stable, there is an oversupply of competing housing and marketing time periods over 6 months - subject's marketing time period was 209 days.
