Posted by Sacramento Real Estate Gal - Purva Brown on July 25th, 2009

For the first time this year, real estate sales in the Elder Creek and Fruitridge areas were down year over year. Unit volume is currently down 15.6%. It comes as no surprise when we see foreclosure inventory beginning to dry up. It was down 17.1% year over year while non-distressed sales are also down 33.3% for the same period. Only short sales have gained 200% year over year.

A total of 76 homes sold in the area of which 58 (or 76.3% of all sales) were foreclosed properties, 6 were short sales (7.9% of all sales) and 12 were non-distressed properties (15.8% of all sales.)

Average price per square foot is at an unbelievable $70.64, a drop of 35% year over year. Average sales price is $82,677, also a big fall from last June’s average sales price of $125,967. Median sales price currently sits at $72,500.

Inventory is at 2.2 months based on the last year of sales and 2.3 months based on the last six months of sales. Foreclosure inventory is at 0.3 months.
