The statistics above were generated by the South Tahoe Association Of Realtors Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as of November 8th, 2008. The numbers are based on a search of single family homes in South Lake Tahoe, CA. area. You’ll noticed that it is all formatted by a price band.
By looking at the Chart of Active Listings, you will be able to see the number of homes that are actively listed on the market by price band. The total number of active homes as of this date is 409 single family homes.
By looking at the chart with Pending Sales, you will be able to see the number of homes that are in escrow as of this date. Again it is formatted by a price band. The total of number of escrows is 57.
What is the relevance? Well, if you track these statistics on a weekly basis you will begin to notice a pattern. There are price bands that sell better and others with inventory sitting longer on the market. I like to divide the pending sales by the active sales to give me a percentage of the market movement which currently represents about 12.2%. When I compare this to last year at this time, I have noticed that the market is more active this year than last year which was about 8%. The number of Active listings was at 427 and the pendings were at 38.
The charts will also show you the average Days On Market (DOM) which could indicate the length of time homes have been sitting on the market before selling. Last year at this time the Active listings averaged 146 days and the Pendings averaged 199 days. Homes are sitting longer on the market this year which could indicate that there is an overlap of inventory from the previous year whereas the previous year did not experience a similiar overlap.
In conclusion our market seems to be declining from the peak as of September and October sales which is based on previous weekly statistics. It is typical to see sales drop off for this time of year. The overall significance is that we are seeing a market trend that is showing signs of more life than a year ago.
