Stockton Real Estate Market Report – February 2014

Summary:

  • At the end of the month there were 1,047 homes for sale in Stockton including 305 pending sales. The net inventory available for sale was 742 units, or 2.4 months’ sales.
  • The ending inventory of 742 units is significant in relationship to average sales of 307 homes per month during the 12 month period.
  • Normal pricing rules related to supply and demand do not work in this government and lender controlled market. Due to the scarcity of inventory, prices have risen steadily, and more traditional home sellers have re-entered the market.
  • There were 3,686 units sold in this 12 month period compared to 4,388 units in the prior year.

What these Numbers Mean to You:

  • Homes in the lower and mid-range sell quickly. Depending on your situation you may want to list high and push the market.
  • Interest rates are increasing and motivating many buyers that have been sitting on the fence to make a move increasing demand.
  • The reduction in distressed properties has resulted in reduced inventory levels, and has bolstered prices.
  • The average sales price is now $195,000 and the average sales price is $106 per square foot.
  • The average sales price at January 2013 was $141,000, we think this increase primarily reflects an increase in buyer demand, a reduction in distressed inventory and higher priced traditional home sellers re-entering the market.
  • 3,686 homes were sold in Stockton during the 12 month period (4,388 in the comparable period last year). Based on current inventory and sales levels it could take 3 months to sell a new listing here. If you are considering selling your home – SELL IT NOW!!!
