daphne al homes for sale: Eastern Shore market rebounds with surprisingly strong numbers - 01/14/13 02:13 AM
 
Four years. Four long, miserable years of home price declines.
Are over.

Here’s what happened:
-- Foreclosures and short sales, which made up 31% of sales in 2011, dropped to 22% of sales in 2012. … (0 comments)

daphne al homes for sale: Pending sales up in January 2012 in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope - 02/09/12 06:26 AM
 
January 2012 home sales were typically down from December 2011 sales, but pending sales are improved over last month and January of last year.
 
Homes going under contract in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope stood at 170, while only 140 were under contract after the first week in December and only 146 this time last year.
 
Who are these buyers? My experience is that it’s a good mix of tranferees and renters who have been sitting on the fence for quite some time.
 
The average sales price remained largely unchanged. All good news for the real estate … (1 comments)

daphne al homes for sale: Housing absorption rate at 11 months in Daphne, Spanish Fort and Fairhope - 12/06/10 09:05 AM
"Is it getting any better?"
I get this question about as often as "How ya doin'?"
The answer to the local housing market question is: Not really.
Home sales and pending sales were virtually unchanged on the Eastern Shore of Mobile, AL from October to November.
And the bigger picture shows that the market absorption rate is still seriously out of whack. Industry experts agree that a six-month inventory of homes for sale is the sign of a healthy, stable market. If the absorption rate surpasses that, then it's a buyers' market.
Locally, if not one more house was listed for … (0 comments)

daphne al homes for sale: Snapshot of a two-tiered market - 10/21/10 09:41 AM

daphne al homes for sale: September 2010 home sales in Daphne, Spanish Fort and Fairhope AL - 10/15/10 08:01 AM
September homes sales on the Eastern Shore rose again and inventory continued to decline.
The number of homes sold rose 12 percent in Fairhope, Daphne and Spanish Fort, while inventory declined about 3 percent.
Pending sales in mid-October are down 19% over the previous month.
The outlook is cloudy with the foreclosure debacle likely to play out over the coming months. Investigations that major lenders "robo-signed" foreclosure documents without careful scrutiny have forced Bank of America to put a halt to some foreclosure proceedings in some states. Other banks are taking action to review their processes. But locally, foreclosures are still … (1 comments)
