Latest Florence Market Update!

As of this posting we have 395 residential listings in the Florence Oregon real estate market with a median asking price of $179,000 and an average of 357 DOM (days on market).

In the last 12 months we have sold 242 homes at a median sale price of $160,000 and 221DOM.

In the last 6 months we have sold 137 homes at a median sale price of $160,000 and 231 DOM.

The last 30 days we have sold 17 homes at a median sale price of $115,000. As usual a 30 day snapshot in a small market can vary widely.

The above data tells me that there is still a lack of consumer confidence reflected in lower median sales prices and longer DOM. Agressive pricing by sellers and their agents is still the key to a timely sale.

Interest rates continue to fall to an all time historic low. Florence Oregon real estate offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a home far below cost, if you are working with a knowledgeable Buyer's Broker!

The above data tells me that sellers and there agents enjoyed a small run in activity that has now fallen flat with lower recent median sales prices and far fewer units being sold. Agressive pricing by sellers and their agents is a must if a seller wants to sell in this economy.

With interest rates at an all time historic low, this is a great time to purchase a home if you are working with a knowledgeable Buyer's Broker!
