June 2016 Almaden Valley Real Estate Market Update

The Almaden Valley real estate market ended June 2016 on a high note. The number of single family homes that sold in June was up a whopping 51.6% from the previous month, and up a respectable 6.8% over the same time last year. The number of homes on the market increased over 11% from May figures, and a healthy 27.7% from June 2015. Prices cooled slightly, from $602/sqft in May to $591 in June. Historically, June/July heralds the start of a cooling trend that will continue through the end of the year. With school starting soon and summer vacation time rolling to a close, it is not surprising to see a suspended interest in purchasing and selling homes, and I am anticipating this year to be no different.

However, the “summer doldrums” can be great news for buyers who are willing to make a purchase during this timeframe. Fewer buyers looking for homes can translate into more selection and the possibility of motivated sellers who want to complete their sales prior to the start of fall. If you are thinking about purchasing a home, give me a call and let me show you how I can help make the most of the current market!
