In June, the Tumalo real estate market shifted gears and experienced a noticeable spike in new listings –- from 71 in May to 91 in June. That’s similar to the spike in June 2009 -– when new listings hit a two-year high of 104. The recent spike also affected the overall inventory level (since there were so many more new listings than sales), upping it from 14.2 months in May to 17.6 months in June. That’s still infinitely better than the inventory level last June (38 months!).
Another significant difference between June ’10 and June ’09 is the median price of Active listings, which in June 2010 was $649,000, compared to $759,500 in June ‘09. Also notable this June was the fact that the median price of Active listings was actually lower than the median price of homes sold ($662,000) –- a good sign for sellers, since the list and sales prices are in sync. By comparison, the median price of Active listings in Sisters this month was also $649,000; however, the median price of listings sold in June was significantly lower — $493,950.
