The available inventory of foreclosure homes in Folsom decreased to a 0.0-month supply. So, no foreclosure homes are available at present. This is the second month in the past fifteen months with no foreclosure homes available. We note that many of the HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) and adjustable rate mortgages used at the peak of the housing bubble are due for interest rate adjustments in the next several months. We suspect that many more homes will fall into the foreclosure process as a result, so inventory levels are likely to increase in the next year.)
The inventory for ALL homes available remained at a 1.9-month supply for the second month in a row. That inventory level has remained in the 1.4-month supply to a 2.5-month supply the past fifteen months. Correctly priced homes in good condition still sell quickly.
Pundits tell us that a 6.0-month supply is neutral market, so Folsom remains a strong seller’s market for both foreclosure homes and all other homes on the market.
The cost-per-square-foot for the foreclosure home that sold was $ 211 in September. We do not attach much importance to this figure due to the small sample. The average cost-per-square-foot for ALL homes sold in Folsom in September was $ 211.

Home prices in Folsom seems to have leveled out. Recent interest rate reductions should have an impact over the next few months.
