2011 Monterey, California sales volume

Monterey home sales

Here is my 3rd simple Monterey home sales chart for 2011 closed sales. As you can see these numbers are based on just 65 home sales in Monterey, California and is broken down by the different areas of the city of Monterey. Those of you that are familiar with Monterey will recognize the names and know the areas.

Again, this is just 3 bedroom and 2 bath single family homes in Monterey, California.

2011 Monterey, California sale price to list price Ratios

Monterey Stats

Another simple chart of the "average" days on the market and sale price to list price ration for the year 2011 of single family homes that are 3 bedroom and 2 baths.

My take on the sale price to list price ratio is that homes are selling at close to the asking price because homes in this market are being priced at market price, interests are low, and buyer confidence is up. Average days on the market DOM is not bad either when you consider that about 1/3 at least of the market is short sale/foreclosure or some type of distressed sale.

2011 Real Estate Sales recap for Monterey, California

Monterey, Ca homes sales 2011

Above is a very simple look at the all 2011 closed sales of single family homes that are 3 bedroom and 2 bathrooms for Monterey, California. When I look at this it doesn't seem right because the market feels so much busier to me.

You will notice that the larger numbered middle column is a combination of Actives and Pendings and a large market of homes sales in the Monterey area are foreclosures and/or short sales that do take longer to close.

Monterey, California is just one city that makes up the Monterey Peninsula and I chose to use only 3 bedroom 2 bath homes for the sake of ease.

There are lots of good homes buys in Monterey at this time and with rates at an all time low, now is the time to make the decision to purchase a home here on the beautiful Monterey Peninsula!
