Stockton Market Trend:

Traditional laws of supply and demand dictate an eventual increase in inventory and downward pressure on prices. But when? Traditional laws of supply and demand (temporarily) don’t seem to apply in this bank and government controlled market.

Stockton Stats for March 2011

o    There were 2,221 homes for sale in Stockton at the end of the month. This total includes 595 pending units, leaving a balance of 1,626 units (4.1 months’ inventory) available for sale.

o    4,737 homes were sold in Stockton during the 12 month period, an average of 395 homes per month. This compares to 5,790 homes, or a 483 unit average per month one year ago, an 18% drop.

o    SALES ARE SLOWING…

o    There is a 6 month inventory on the market (see the "Months Sales In Inventory" chart above). Exclusive of pending sales (more transactions fall out of escrow in this market than in a normal market) there is a 4.1 month adjusted inventory.

o    There should be new homes placed on the market over the next few months unless lenders "bank" foreclosed-upon homes, or some other solution is found for ‘warehoused’ foreclosures and other "Shadow Inventory".

o    457 units were sold this month this year, 470 units this month last year.

o    The average sales price per square foot is $79 – less than the cost to build a home.

o    The average home sales price was $128,000.

o    Continued increases in mortgage delinquencies will result in new measures, increased inventories, and should continue the downward pressure on Stockton home sale prices.
