June 2022 Almaden Valley Real Estate Market Update

Recent data indicates that the Almaden Valley real estate market is transitioning away from the strong seller’s market it has been for a while. The 36 single family homes offered on the market in June was the highest that inventory has been in over two years. The number of pending contracts has continued decreasing since March, although sales have remained fairly stable over that same time period.

Although an increase in inventory and decrease in sales would indicate a move towards a buyer’s market, the sales price per square foot seems to still favor sellers. June’s average price per square foot logged in at $1027/sqft, up slightly from May’s $997 but down from April’s market high of $1078. This indicates that buyers may not be as active in the market as they’ve been in the past but are willing to spend money. It DOES however signal that, with increased inventory, buyers are waiting for “the right” home to come along rather than engage in bidding wars with other buyers for a too-small number of available homes. This means that sellers might have to change their marketing strategy to gain the attention of these buyers.
