December 2009 Single Family Home Sales in Santa Clara

Friday, January 29th, 2010

54 home closings in the month of December last year for the city of Santa Clara real estate. Not too shabby for a December in any year.  The end of the year last year experienced a rush of buying, more so than previous years.  Also note that many of the sale prices were close to list or even over.

2009 Home Sales in Santa Clara

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

2009 was actually a busy year for home sales in Santa Clara. Although the national press focused on the sluggish real estate market, record high foreclosures and the country’s credit woes, the number of homes sold in the City of Santa Clara was not too far off from 2007 levels.

In 2007 569 homes were sold in Santa Clara compared with 539 sold in 2009.  2008 we did witness a very down year, that number dropped to just 485 homes. The biggest difference in 2009 from previous years were the number of short sales and bank owned homes that made up the total sales.

In 2009 the number of short sale homes sold in Santa Clara were 66 homes or 12% of homes sold that year. Santa Clara bank owned homes totalled 123 in 2009 or 23%.  Over a third of the single family homes sold in Santa Clara in 2009 were some sort of distressed sale.

This is in stark contrast to 2007 where there was just one closed short sale in Santa Clara and no bank owned home sales.

FYI, In 2008 the number of short sale homes totalled just 16 homes or 3% of the homes sold that yearAs for bank owned homes there were 43 homes or 9% of homes sold that year in Santa Clara.

Santa Clara Sold Homes September 2009

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

September saw 65 home sell in Santa Clara as the market continued to pick up. October also shows no signs of slowing down either as Santa Clara homes continue to sell quickly. In my last two listings Hillsdale and San Rafael I have had multiple offers, the open houses were crowded, and even listings that were previously quiet are getting more and more traffic. Buyers seem very anxious and persistent to go out and buy a home. Inventory however has creeped its way back up above 90 homes after breifly going down as low as 70 homes.

I expect Santa Clara home inventory to drop as we progress into the holidays but this is an important variable to monitory. To view more Santa Clara stats be sure to sign up for my weekly stat report.

Santa Clara Real Estate Inventory and Statistics

 Santa Clara Real Estate Inventory and Statistics

Santa Clara single family home inventory dipped below 90 homes this week, the first time since April of 2007.  Sales are 25% up from last year and the number of new listings have not been able to keep up with the rate of sales.  This has resulted in lower inventory and multiple offer situations and some price appreciation.

Total home sales this year so far are 561 homes compared with last year around this time of just 457 homes, which is approximately a 23% increase over last year.  Here is a quick look at what has been happening in August sales compared to last year’s August numbers.

I imagine listings will start to eventually come up  due to anticipated pent up sellers, nonetheless will that number overwhelm the current buyers in this market?  And foreclosures – are they just waiting to flood the market like so many think? Highly unlikely in my opinion.  This really seems like the market is stablizing.  If the local job market becomes healthy, do not expect prices to fall.

A note to sellers, make sure you price your homes competitively and they will sell, in some cases with multiple offers.  Buyers understand inventory and understand where you stand in this market.  Multiple offers are happening, not everywhere, but in most cases where there are good properties and they are priced accurately.  Do not solely rely on past comps as the market is rebounding from its lows.

Latest Santa Clara Real Estate Statistics

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

Santa Clara home inventory is under 120 homes for the first time since early January. Typically we see inventory climbing throughout the year, but this year inventory has been settling since February. Here is a close look at the three Santa Clara codes and how they have been performing.

Santa Clara Home Inventory by Zip Code

Santa Clara Home Inventory by Zip Code

 Home inventory for Santa Clara in 95051 and 95050 has plateued since late March.  A significant decrease in inventory for 95054 has occurred.  This area was much affected by bank foreclosures and short sales, and to some extent still is, however, these have dropped and buyers have rushed in to get the deals.

Santa Clara Average Days on Market by Zip Code

Santa Clara Average Days on Market by Zip Code

 Although 95054 has experienced the largest drop in inventory 95051 has the shortest average days on market.  Which is a surprise being that it has the most homes in Santa Clara.  Average days on market have been climbing for 95051 and climbing sharply for 95050.  As for 95054 the rate is now dipping as more inventory is moving. 

Measure of Supply and Demand
MAI, Measure of Supply and Demand

The Market Action Index (MAI) illustrates the balance between supply and demand using a statistical function of the current rate of sale versus current inventory.

Although the Market Action Index still indicates a strong buyers market the index has improved across the board for all zip codes, especially 95054.

Inventory has been tightening and days-on-market increasing recently. The Market Action Index has been basically flat, not providing strong indication for market conditions.
