As we get up into the $million prices I’m expanding the price range to increments of $250k. Because upper-end buyers often have more flexibility in the range of home prices they are willing and able to consider.
36 single family homes for sale – 3 in contract – 3 sold in the last 30 days = 12 months inventory – with double the number of months inventory that is considered a normal, balanced market, this price range is smack dab in buyers market territory.
The 3 homes that did sell;
In Ventana CC, 7361 E Thimble View Way was listed at $1,049,000 and sold in the blink of an eye (3 days) for $950,000 ($259/sf). The sellers paid $871,500 in 2003. Zillow has it at $1,031,994.
In Cat 10, 4431 N Camino Sumo was listed at $1,065,000 and sold in 127 days for $960,000 ($202/sf). A one owner home, the seller paid $235,000 for the lot in 2002. Zillow = $1,181,614
In Alta Vista, 6601 N Placita Alta Reposa, a new spec home was listed for $1,175,000 last July, reduced to $1,025,000 this January and sold for $973,000 (212/sf). If it were up to Zillow it would have gone for way over list, for $1,291,775.
So, 3 sales of homes listed from $1.0 to $1.249. But all 3 were huddled at the low end of the range and all 3 sold for under the bottom of the range. And Zillow was overzealous on all 3. And 2 of the 3 in contract are also listed at the low end of the price range. So, not a booming market.
