Current stats released from the RVAR/SOMLS show that the number of homes on the market is under 1200 units. Wow that is a drop from about 1600 homes from the prior report!!! and from the high inventory days of 4000 units of 2008.....the number of units is soooo much lower which would normally be a good thing for sellers, but since most of the homes on the market in the Ashland, Medford area are distressed, prices are not up yet.
Sometimes it is hard to know what to make of the numbers. In Florence we see a drop in active listings around Halloween and they relist in the spring.
We are seeing the same thing here where there are less homes for sale, yet the prices aren't rising because of all the distressed properties.
Just need the buyers to feel secure enough to wade in to the market again, then off go the prices, don't you think?
Confidence would help, but honestly, I think the banks are cutting their owns noses to spite their face. They list lower the current sold homes and drive the price further down. when i say current sold homes, I mean in the last 30 days....
Your market, as Todd said, is much like ours, we have many distressed prices and low inventory. In the Wilsonville area where I live here are very few homes for sale 136 in a town of over 18,000. I. by the way, like your video. I too like Animoto.
