July 2020 Almaden Valley Real Estate Market Update
Almaden Valley real estate continued to be a seller’s market through July, continuing the overall trend this year of scant supply compared to demand. We had 47 active listings and 44 sales in the MLS for July, up slightly from the 45 active listings and 39 sales from June. But we can see how dramatic the market shift has been when looking at July 2019 stats, when we had 95 active listings and 37 sales.
Although the average price per square foot has not varied as wildly as the sales data, we’ve been seeing an increase in this metric over the past few months as well, where it ended at $714/sqft for July 2020 versus $640 the previous month and $643 the same time last year.
In short, sellers are firmly in control right now and a well-priced listing garners a lot of attention from eager buyers frustrated by low inventory. If you are thinking about selling your home, let me show you how you can get the best price and the quickest sale!
