I just read the MLS statistics for the Inland Valley Board of Realtors and all I can say is that the market is getting softer and softer in the Inland Empire of California.
Active Listing have dropped 17.7% from Sep 06 to Sep 07 with a 20.9% drop from Aug 07 to Sep 07. The Closed transactions dropped even more dramatically, 41.7% from Sep 06 to Sep 07 with a 21.8% drop from Aug 07 to Sep 07. The ratio of Active Listings to Pending Listings has dropped 8% from 06 to 07.
This information will hit the media in the next couple weeks as it always does.
Here is a sample of some of the stats,
Pending Listings Sold Listings Percent Change
July 06 5,895 5,261 -29.1
July 07 4,180 3,325 -36.8%
August 06 6,144 3,830 -37.7
August 07 5,955 3,399 -42.9%
September 06 5,141 2,996 -37.7
September 07 5,002 1,949 -42.9%
To further illustrate where the market is headed I have included some stats from Foreclosureradar.com about Notice of Defaults (NOD's) and Foreclosure Sales
