Cameron Park Real Estate Market Update August 2008

Posted by John Lockwood on September 26th, 2008

Like most areas of El Dorado County, the market recently in Cameron Park is one in which there continues to be a moderate to high amount of inventory and sluggish sales compared to last year. 

Eighteen homes sold in Cameron Park in August, down 14.3% from last August’s figure of twenty-one sales.  Two thirds of these sales were non-distressed.  Sold price per square foot fell 17.1% over the year, form $222.39 in August of 2007 to $184.36 in August of 2008.  The average selling price in August was $358,500, down 16.6% from last year, while the median selling price was $368,000, down 8% from last year’s median of $400,000.

Inventory is fairly high at 8.1 months overall.  The number of non-distressed homes in active inventory (67.8%) aligns fairly well with the number of non-distressed homes that sold in August (66.7%).  22.6% of the active listings in Cameron Park are short sales, and about 9.5% of all sales are foreclosures.
