Stockton,
California Stats for December 2009
Summary:
-
At the end of the month there were
2,012 homes for
sale in Stockton including 709 pending sales.
The net inventory available for sale was therefore
1,303 units.
-
This is significant in relationship to average
sales of 514 homes per month during the preceding 12
month period.
-
Unit sales for the past
5 months remain at lower levels than a year ago,
presumably due to lower inventory levels.
-
Normal pricing rules
related to supply and demand do not appear to apply
in this lender controlled market. Average sales prices
continue to decline despite a decline in supply.
-
Mortgagee loan
delinquencies continue to rise; some lenders
continue their moratorium on foreclosures; some
lenders who foreclose on properties are slow to put
them on the market.
-
Accounting and SEC rules that have permitted non recognition of loan losses
will change. SOON.
What these Numbers Mean to You:
-
Homes may take longer to sell and sellers may
have to be aggressive about their asking price.
-
Average unit sales remain high. The
delay on getting foreclosures
to market has resulted in reduced inventory levels,
and has bolstered prices somewhat.
-
The average sales price
is now near $133,000 and the $79 average sales price per square foot
remains below the cost to build a home.
-
6,164 homes were sold in Stockton during the 12
month period ended December 2009. Based on current
inventory and sales levels it could take 4 months
to sell a new listing here. "Shadow Inventory" will
