April 2009 Sales Statistics

Swined out yet? If you are like me, sick and tired of the blown out-of-portion reports about the swine flu, make sure to look at the fine prints of daily news for the real news. Here is what's not in the headline news but it's definitely a piece of important news for all home owners and home buyers in Washington state. NWMLS published the sales statistics for April today. For the first month since last year, statewide, for the month of April this year, listing inventory is reported the lowest but pending sales see rebouncing. The pending sales rise is credited to improved affordable houses on the market and historically low interest rate, plus $8000 first-time home buyer credit. Mason County lagged behind the statewide numbers in April pending and sold listings.

For Mason County

Active Listings - 161 in Apr 09 vs 200 in Apr 08; Inventory down: 16.13%
Pending Sale Listings - 70 in Apr 09 vs 77 in Apr 08; Down 9.09
Sold Listings - 46 in Apr 09 vs 69 in Apr 08; Price drop -30.50%
