March 1, 2009: Pomona Home Market Activity

Thirty Pomona homes were listed for sale during the week ending Feb. 28, 2009, and 24 homes entered escrow, according to the Inland Multi-Regional Multiple Listing Service.

A total of 592 Pomona homes were listed for sale in the MLS on March 1. Included are 452 single-family homes. There were 140 condominiums, townhomes and single-family homes in homeowner associations listed for sale in Pomona on March 1; 263 homes were reported as vacant.

The MLS showed 135 foreclosed, or Real Estate Owned, homes listed in Pomona on March 1; nine as In Foreclosure, 13 as having received a Notice of Default, and 187 as Short Pay. Please note: The MLS only recently required the type of sale of listed homes to be reported when a listing is entered into the system; the numbers of homes in foreclosure or having a Notice of Default - both of which likely would have short payoffs - does not included previously listed homes.

Eleven Pomona homes were reported as sold in the MLS in the week ending Feb. 28, 2009.
