Silicon Valley home sales slump continues in December

Silicon Valley's home sales slump continued in December, with both the number of transactions and median prices in Santa Clara County down from a year earlier.

The number of single-family houses that changed hands was down 9.9 percent last month from December 2009, San Diego-based MDA DataQuick reported today. The median price dropped 1.7 percent to $517,000.

The volume of condo sales fell 7.1 percent, and the median price was down 11.6 percent to $294,250.

The market in Silicon Valley reflected trends throughout the Bay Area, where real estate transactions were "dominated by distress sales," with move-up buying put on hold, DataQuick reported.

"While the dicey economy and employment concerns are major factors, tight mortgage credit is also a big issue right now, especially for the upper half of the market," DataQuick President John Walsh said in a news release.

"There's a lot of pent-up supply and demand out there, which will start to meet when the lenders reopen their spigots a turn or two," Walsh said.

Short Sale anyone?

Have you ever wondered why they call it a short sale when it actually takes so long to close escrow?
Actually short sales are more popular than regular sale and this is due to the great prices and inventory is great.
At this point the average months of inventory (MOI) is about 4 months, which is different in the different areas throughout the Bay Area.
Have you considered a short sale for your first time home purchase or even an investment?
With rates so low this is a great time to invest in real estate.
Call me today and lets talk about you and how short sales can work for you.

Have a great day.
