Windsor has been following suit with much of the rest of Sonoma County, (other then Sebastopol, Bodega Bay & Healdsburg) with being heavily saturated with bank owned (foreclosed homes) and short sale listings. There are usually be a larger number of short sales in escrow but a much lower number ending in closed sales. The numbers dramatically change with the bank owned/REO listings in that the majority in escrow will close.

It is not uncommon for well priced Windsor listings to generate multiple offers and sometimes selling for above the list price.

What Do All The Numbers Mean?

Considering the current available volume of 180 active listings consistently selling at approximately 31 per month, Windsor has just under 6 months of inventory. If I break these numbers out further, we have 3 month inventory of Bank Owned homes and a 16 month inventory of Short Sales listings. The available inventory overall has reduced itself as well as the Bank Owned inventory and the Short Sale inventory has increased by several months worth in the past couple of months.

Have I Missed An Important Piece of Information You Were Hoping To Find?

Upon Request I am happy to further drill down these stats to specific Windsor neighborhoods.

Please come back mid May for April stats.

Happy House Hunting!

Rohnert Park follows suit with a good amount of the rest of Sonoma County with being heavily saturated with bank owned (foreclosed homes) and short sale listings. Often there will be a larger number of short sales that go in to escrow but in the end they do not always end up as closed sales. The bank owned/REO's are generally much more likely to end with a finalized sale. The Short Sales that do close escrow and transfer title to a new owner can take several months to do so from the date that the original offer was written.

It is not uncommon for well priced Rohnert Park listings to generate multiple offers and can end up selling for above the current list price.

What Do All The Numbers Mean?

With the currently available 160 listings and sales consistently closing approximately 40 listings a month, Rohnert Park has an Absorption Rate of 4 months of inventory which is down by 1 month since mid February. If I break these numbers out further, we have a 2 month inventory of Bank Owned homes (also down by 1 ¼ months) and a 13 1/2 month inventory of Short Sales which is dramatically up by 5 months). All in all this is showing us that the available inventory as a whole & in the Bank Owned market is decreasing but in the short sale market the inventory has grown significantly.

Have I Missed An Important Piece of Information You Were Hoping To Find?

Upon Request I am happy to further drill down these stats to more specific Rohnert Park neighborhoods or other areas of the county..

Please come back mid month May for April market stats.

Happy Trails.
