Brookings Housing Report - August 2010
Brookings Housing Report - August 2010

September 8, 2010
August Sales Volume was $3.34M down 21% from $4.05M in July.
Year-over-year Sales Volume was down 50% from $6.69M in August '09.
August Average Sale Price was $151,939 down 9.1% from a year ago.
August Pending Home Sales saw a 52% decline year-over-year.
Pending Home Sales have remained flat in 2010 since June.
August Inventory rose 8.7% to 4.96 months from 4.56 months in July.
Year-over-year Inventory is down 18% from August '09.
Days on Market for August was 106 days which is a 30.8% increase from July.
Agent's Note: Year-over-year comparisons need to be kept in perspective because a year ago we had the home buyer tax credits driving higher than usual buyer demand into the fall. Sales are expected to slow over the next few months as we proceed into fall. However, it is encouraging to see that the Inventory rate remains low in August. Buyers are still able to take advantage of interest rates at 50 year lows. This means, for most buyers, you can afford more house within your monthly budget.

July Sales Volume was $4.05M down 47% from $8.59M for June '10.
July Sales Volume of $4.05M was down 35% from $6.2M for July '09.
July Average Sale Price was $162,106 down 14% from a year ago.
July Pending Home Sales saw a 30% decline year-over-year.
There was no change in Pending Home Sales from June '10 to July '10.
July Inventory dropped 11% to 4.56 Months from 5.07 in June '10.
Year-over-year July Inventory is also down 14% from July '09.
Days on Market for July was 81 which is a 21% decrease from July '09.
Agent's Note: We had a great month in June. Sales were expected to slow over the next few months with the June expiration of the tax credits. July was better than I had projected. It is encouraging to see the Pending Home Sales remain the same for June and July. We also have encouragement for Sellers with the lower Inventory Rate. Don't worry Buyers! You are still able to take advantage of interest rates at 50 year lows. This means, for most buyers, you can afford more house within your monthly budget.
