September 2018 Almaden Valley Real Estate Market Update

September 2018 Almaden Valley Real Estate Market Update… September wrapped up on a quiet note in preparation for the upcoming holiday season. The number of single family homes on the market jumped from 33 in August to 39 in September, while the number of homes under contract dropped from 33 to 19 and the number sold remained 24 over the same time period. The drop in pending sales is very likely due to a buying frenzy that happened in August, perhaps buyers trying to beat the next interest rate hike. The average sold price per square foot edged up from $697 in August to $723 in September, indicating that buyers are still keen on Almaden Valley real estate and sellers are responding to the near-record average sale price per sqft by offering their homes to the market.

Observing the trends over the last year and more, it appears that our real estate market is luring home owners to sell and inventory is gradually increasing above the critical levels we’ve gotten used to. Generally speaking, as inventory increases in a seller’s market such as we’ve been experiencing, the balance reaches a point of equilibrium between the number of buyers and the number of homes on the market. Overall, though, we are seeing the seasonal transition to a quieter real estate market.
