Morgan Hill - August 2008 - Real Estate Market Analysis

 

morganhillMorgan Hill is still feeling the pinch of the down market. However, there are signs that we are just about at the bottom of the dowturn.

Average price is down, but not as dramatically as some previous months. Inventory is up, but this is to be expected as we work foreclosures and short sales out of the system. Other numbers, like total sales and homes added to the market are actually looking up.

Santa Clara County - August 2008 - Real Estate Market Report

sccOverall, the news is actually pretty good for Santa Clara County. While the inventory numbers still remain high, new listings are down and sales are up. Also keep in mind that a HUGE portion of the homes in inventory are foreclosures or short sale properties (nearly 4000!) In fact, the general trends all seem to support the idea I have been sharing that we are either right at or very near the "bottom" of this market. Watch this months video for all the data and details!
