March 15, 2009: Pomona Home Market Activity

Thirty-seven Pomona homes were listed for sale during the week ending March 14, 2009, and 29 homes entered escrow, according to the Inland Multi-Regional Multiple Listing Service.

A total of 575 Pomona homes were listed for sale in the MLS on March 15. Included are 446 single-family homes. There were 129 condominiums, townhomes and single-family homes in homeowner associations listed for sale in Pomona on March 15; 246 homes were reported as vacant.

The MLS showed 129 foreclosed, or Real Estate Owned, homes listed in Pomona on March 15; 194 others were in pre-foreclosure - listed as "in foreclosure," Notice of Default or Short Pay/Subject to Lender. 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 March 14, 2009.
