October 2009 Real Estate Market Snapshot for Tumalo, Oregon

Like Sisters, Tumalo's real estate market saw only minimal changes from September to October. Once again, the number of Active Residential with Acreage listings shrank (if only slightly, from 86 to 85). That continued Tumalo's downward trend in inventory, from a high of 99 RW listings in January. Similarly, the supply again decreased slightly, from a 26-month supply in September to a 25-month supply in October.

Meanwhile, the median price for Active RW listings in Tumalo also decreased slightly (from $722,000 in September to $719,000 in October), as did the number of Active million-dollar listings (down from 29 to 28).
