February 2009 Real Estate Market Snapshot for Sisters, OregonIn February, it appeared that Sisters sellers were already anticipating the spring market surge; there was an increase in inventory in both Single Family Residences and Homes with Acreage (homes on one acre or more).

Unfortunately, there wasn't a comparable increase in sales -- in fact, there was a slight decrease in sales, from a total of four pending sales and seven completed sales in January to one contingent sale, two pending sales and three completed sales in February.

On the plus side: Average Days on Market for both categories of Active Listings were slightly down from January's numbers.
