August was another active month for the Tumalo real estate market –- with eight Closed sales, five Pending sales and two Contingent sales. As of August, the number of closed sales for 2010 has already surpassed the total number of sales for 2009.
And there’s more good news for sellers: Active listings decreased slightly (from 96 to 92), which brought down the overall level of inventory a bit (from a 18.5-month supply in July to an 17.25-month supply in August). To put things in perspective, last year at this time, the Tumalo market held a daunting 32-month supply.
For the fourth consecutive month, the median price of Active listings has stayed close to the $650,000 mark. That’s a far cry from the two-year high of $899,000 in spring 2009.
