As of this
posting, inventory has decreased to 209
homes from 275 active residential listings in October. The Florence Oregon
home market has a median asking price of $210000 and with 305 av/199 median CDOM (cumaltive days
on market).
In the
last 12 months we have sold 405 homes at a median sale price of $169000 and 189
CDOM and 95 median CDOM.
In the
last 6 months we have sold 214 homes at a median sale price of $175000 with 168 av /94 median CDOM.
In the last 3 months we have sold 81 homes
at a median sale price of $175,000 with 158av/94 median CDOM.
The last 30 days have netted 18 sales at a
median sale price of $121000 with 258 av/ 58 median CDOM. In a small
market, a 30 day snapshot can not be counted on as a reliable indicator.
Even though sales are slower this time of
year, it was more active last summer than the past several years, due
in part to home seller/agent pricing that is closer to reality which has
resulted in shorter market times and more sales. I am hoping that selers ad
agents do not develop a bad case of amnesia and start overpricing again. It
also has much to do with continued historic low mortgage rates currently under
4% for a 30 year fixed rate.
In my view, the winter is the best time to buy.
When making an offer to purchase work with a
knowledgeable Broker and do NOT make an offer without a thorough CMA being
