Hot off the Press: Richfield Home Sales in October 2009

Richfield MN real estate market has been very active this month. There have been 77 new listings during October, 32.8% more than in October 2008. However, the year to date number was slightly lower than in 2008. That is consistent with the lower overall listing activity this year in comparison with last year.

Low interest rates and the stimulus buyer tax credit helped boost sales, especially in lower price ranges. There were 49 closed home sales in last, a 28.9% increase over October 2008. The year-to-date numbers are also higher in Richfield MN real estate market, by 25.1% over the same period in 2008.

What’s interesting is that the Richfield October median and average sales price numbers are pretty much the same as last October: median price was $177,000 and average price was $178,047. But, the same numbers calculated as year-to-date are significantly lower over October 2008: median sales price is $164,500 (13% less) and average is $159,019 (15.1%). Richfield MN real estate market has had a large number of bank-owned homes that have been sold this year.

One thing understand now is that sales prices in the Richfield MN real estate market are stabilizing, but active listings still have to be priced competitively to attract showings and offers.

And, at the end, winning school will claim the title and win the Spirit Cup, enjoy a live broadcast from the school location, FREE food from Arby's, and - the best - bragging rights, of course!

All kids at RMS are excited and working very, very hard and working together to win this competition.
