In June, the Residential real estate market in Tumalo had another strong sales month, with eight Closed and six Pending sales. By contrast, last year at this time, there were just four Closed sales. (On a more positive note, June 2013 was followed by the busiest month of the year, when there were 12 Closed sales -– it’ll be interesting to see if we experience a repeat this July).
Like May, there was a good deal of activity on the upper end of the price spectrum. Three of the eight Closed and two of the six Pending sales were for properties listed above $500,000. Meanwhile, among Active listings, the number of million-dollar properties increased notably — up from eight Active listings in May to 14 Active listings in June. Four of the those new listings were between $1,250,000 and $1,749,999, which made those two brackets tied for the second most popular price point, second only to the $550,000-$599,999 range.
Given the increase in million-dollar listings, it might seem surprising that the median price of Active listings actually decreased in June, down from $624,900 to $615,000; that’s the lowest it’s been this year (the high so far has been $698,900, in March), which is good news for buyers. In June 2013, the median price of Active listings was $687,000.
