sisters oregon real estate market statistics: November 2010 Real Estate Market Snapshot for Sisters, Oregon - 12/17/10 09:22 AM
In November, there were still no major changes in the Sisters real estate market -- just slow, steady progress in a few key areas. First, the number of Active listings continued to decrease (from 174 in October to 161 in November). That's also an improvement over November 2009, when there were176 Active listings.
The decrease in listings and overall stronger sales compared to 2009 meant that the inventory of Single Family Residences finally dipped below the 12-month mark -- the first time that Sisters has reached that benchmark since January 2009. (A balanced market has about a six-month inventory).
Meanwhile, Residential … (0 comments)

sisters oregon real estate market statistics: Sisters, Oregon Real Estate Market Snapshot for October 2010 - 11/13/10 10:43 AM
Last month, the Sisters real estate market saw very little change -- from the previous month or the previous October. Which is a good thing, in many ways. Some areas of the country saw a downturn in October, but for the second month in a row, Sisters matched June's sales peak of 16 Closed sales. Like September, the number of Active listings decreased (from 192 to 174 listings). In October 2009, there were 180 Active listings.
After experiencing a seasonal increase, the median sales price of Active Single Family Residences decreased in October (from $469,500 in September to $450,000). However, like September, that number … (0 comments)

sisters oregon real estate market statistics: August 2009 Real Estate Market Snapshot for Sisters, Oregon - 09/13/09 11:37 AM
Wow! August proved to be a banner sales month for the Sisters real estate market. After two months of slight growth in sales, Sisters saw a significant jump. In fact, sales almost doubled -- from 15 pending and closed sales in July to 25 pending and closed sales in August. Included in the mix was a strong showing of higher-end sales (six sales above $500,000, including one just under $1,000,000).
Also noteworthy, however, is the dramatic increase in inventory since the beginning of 2009. In January, there were 136 active Residential listings (which include Single Family Residences and Homes on Acreage), … (0 comments)

sisters oregon real estate market statistics: July 2009 Real Estate Market Snapshot for Sisters, Oregon - 08/17/09 04:47 AM
July 2009 was a month of increases for the Sisters real estate market. Inventory continued to increase (from 212 to 219, with seven new Single Family Residence listings and no new Homes on Acreage). That high volume of inventory continues to be a long-term concern for sellers and helps explain this month's increase in days on market for both active Single Family Residences and Homes on Acreage.
On the plus side, sales increased again this month, if only slightly (15 pending and closed sales), including the first million-dollar transaction since February.
Here are a few July highlights of the Sisters real estate … (0 comments)
