September’s Median SALES prices – Home median prices slipped to $440,000 and Condo median prices rose slightly to $315,635. Land median price was $285,000.

Days on Market for Residential homes = 122 DOM, Condos = 130 DOM, Land = 150 DOM.

(General DOM Note: this is the average DOM for the properties that SOLD. If predominantly OLD inventory sells, it can move this indicator upward, and vice versa. RAM’s Days on Market are calculated from List Date to Closing Date [not contract date]. As such, it includes approximately 60 days of escrow time.) Also – Short Sales transactions can often take 4-6 months to close thereby extending the marketplace’s average DOM.

 “Year to Date Sales” numbers only compare January – September 2010 to January – September 2009. Short timeframe (monthly) views do not necessarily reflect the longer timeframe trends. Better overview is available from these pages at the end of each year such as 2009’s Year End (Dec. 2009) available at: http://www.ramaui.com/UserFiles/File/Stats/All-December2009.pdf
