In June, the Tumalo Residential With Acreage (RW) real estate market was a mixed bag of surprises. Although we’re in the peak selling season, the number of Active listings actually decreased (from 58 in May to 53 in June). That’s significantly lower than this time last year, when there were 76 Active listings, or June 2010, when there were 91.
By the way, the decrease in listings wasn’t because of a high number of sales. There were actually just two closed sales, which is a bit baffling. That’s only the third time in the past three years that Tumalo sales were that low. The dramatic decrease (down from 10 in May) may be attributed in part to the lack of available properties in the lower price points: As of June 30, there were only 11 RW properties in Tumalo listed below $400,000.
Not that there was a dearth of sales activity: As of June 30, there were 10 Pending sales, including three listings over $500,000. There were also four Contingent sales, three of four of which were for homes listed above $400,000.
Meanwhile, although the overall number of Active listings decreased, the number of million-dollar listings increased again. That helped bring up the median sales price for Active RW listings to $725,000 (compared to $699,000 in May). That’s significantly higher than the list price for homes in June 2011, when the median list price was $644,700.
