Total inventory increased by 5%. Pendings increased by 28% over last month. Even though this sounds good, sales are down 40.6% last year at this time, according to California Association of Realtors statistics.
The statistics for multi-family reflect a HUGE improvement, however the actual numbers are so small a few sales change the percentages dramatically. This is the same thing I keep harping about… when looking at statistics in the current real estate climate, view the actual numbers as well as the percentages.
Riverside-San Bernardino is #3 in foreclosures in the United States. The Coachella Valley has 12% of the total foreclosure filings for Riverside County.
Inventory increased, sales declined and new listings increased in all types of property this month. I expected this because of all the bad news in the credit markets, government bailouts, declining stock market.
Inventory increased by 600 properties; however sales increased by 54%!!!!
Total available properties decreased again this month 9 percent when compared with July.
Total available properties decreased again!!!
The trend has continued to improve, not by a huge amount but this is the summer months, the temperature is well over 100 degrees and property sales are only slightly less than May of this year.
