January sales off to a fast start! On a year to date (YTD) basis there have been 71 properties sold in the market as compared to 36 for the same period in 2009 which is a 97% increase.
For properties sold YTD 2010, 25 were REO’s, (35%), and 7 were Short Sales, (10%) which results in 45% of the properties sold being a short sales or REO. In 2009 for the same period, there were no 2 REO sales and only 4 short sales.
For 2010, there have been 50 properties sold priced below $500,000, 16 properties sold between $500,000 and $1,000,000 and 5 properties sold over $1,000,000.
Median and Average Sales Prices 2010 Vs 2009: The median sales price for properties sold YTD in 2010 is $388,000 while the average sale price is $510,732. For the same period in 2009, the median sales price was $377,450 and the average sales price was $506,080 which is a 3% and 1% improvement in price respectively for one year.

Pending Sales: Pending sales are at 148 properties which is a slight increase from the previous week.
Market Activity Summary:
In the early going of 2010 sales are up 97% from the same time last year which is a positive indication that 2010 is going to see more inventory movement that in 2009. The median and average prices for properties have increased slightly for the year thus far but we anticipate median sales prices year over year will ultimately be lower as the year progresses. We are continuing to see the trend for sales towards homes priced under $500,000 with 70% of the sales this year being in this price range. Homes sold as REO’s are 35% of the sales which is a higher amount than our averages for 2009.
We continue to see solid activity in the market as buyers are very interested in taking advantage of our large inventory of properties that are priced at 2003 levels.
Coldwell Banker currently has over 41 homes in escrow scheduled to close in the next 30-60 days.
Tahoe-Truckee Homes Prices are at 2003 Levels…
