By

Interested in current market statistics for the Santa Rosa Market Area of Northern California Real Estate?   Following are the stats for the April 2009 market as well as what is currently (as of May 23) available in the residential real estate market.    Residential meaning, Single Family Homes, Condo's as well as Farms/Ranches.   This month I am changing this up a bit by dividing out the detached single family homes from the condo market.

Median List Price $ 200,000    *  Median Selling Price $ 209,000 

Of these 27, 11 were Bank Owned & 7 were Short Sales

For quite some time now the Santa Rosa market has been heavily weighted with bank owned/REO's (foreclosed homes) and short sale listings.   There will generally be a larger number of short sales in escrow but when it comes to the numbers of listings that actually closed escrow and sold the numbers will be heavier on the bank owned/REO side.  

What Does All This Mean?

Considering the current available volume of  1166 listings and that we have been consistently selling approx 236 listings a month, Santa Rosa has just under 5 months of inventory.   If I break these numbers out further, we have about a 1.5 month inventory of Bank Owned homes and just over 15.5 months inventory of Short Sales.

Have I Missed An Important Piece of Information You Were Hoping To Find?

Upon Request I am happy to adjust these stats to a more specific neighborhood within Santa Rosa, such as The McDonald District, or Montgomery Village as examples or one of the quadrants i.e. NW, NE, SW & SE.
