In October, it was business as usual for the Residential With Acreage (RW) real estate market in Tumalo. Which is to say, there was another million-dollar sale (the fifth straight month this year). Also sold in October was Tumalo’s only listing below $250,000. There are now just five listings below $350,000 (and, by contrast, there are eight listings above $1 million).
Oddly enough, even though the most popular price point for Active listings in Tumalo in October was, once again, the $450,000-$499,000 bracket, none of the seven Closed sales or seven Pending sales fell within that range. Five of the Closed sales were below $400,000, and five of the Pending sales were for properties listed below $400,000.
Although there were more Active listings in October 2013 than in October 2012 (50 compared to 42), the lack of inventory is still a concern. We’re down to a 6.5-month supply (down from a 6.9-month supply in September).
