Palm Springs Home Sales Weaken, Condo Sales Remain BRILLIANT -- Market Insights Report; October 2010 - Palm Springs Real Estate Trend Report
Condo sales this October grew by a whopping 22.4% vs. Septembers' numbers. ...and year-over-year sales of Palm Springs Condos were up by 25%. Buyers are snapping up the best properties, with the best prices in years.
For Single Family Palm Springs Homes, the number of sales in October declined by 2.5% versus the previous month. This marks the third consecutive month in a row of declining Palm Springs Single Family Home sales. When compared to a year ago, the number of Single Family Home sales also was down, but by double digits -- 20.2%. WOW!
So the message is clear. The Palm Springs Condominium market was the first sector of the Palm Springs Homes market to recover. And it is clear that strong Buyer interest and actual sales continue to propel the Palm Springs Condo market to new highs.
Given the slump in Palm Springs Single Family Home sales, the median sale price dropped in October by 4.9% to $194,000 versus Septembers' number. This means simply that the market could not be more opportune for Buyers given the values now available in the Palm Springs Single Family Homes for sale market.
