When I look at the current Truckee real estate market the first thing I notice is that inventory levels are low, very low in specific neighborhoods and activity levels for well-priced properties are through the roof, creating competition in the market and leading to multiple offers on the best-priced homes.
If you were to look at the overall Truckee market you would see that in the last 12 months there have been 502 sales of single-family homes but currently, there are only 259 listings. 502 home sales represent an absorption rate of 41.8 homes per month and at that rate, the current inventory shows a 6-month housing supply! This is great news for the market, finally, we have come to a point where inventory levels are in line with demand, actually inventory levels are lower than demand which could possibly lead us to a more stable market in 2010.
One of the most fascinating things that I found in my research was that the number of distressed home listings (Bank Owned/REO and Short Sales) is very low, the lowest in a long time. In the last 12 months Truckee had 135 distressed home sales and today there are only 36 active distressed home listings that are amazing to me. What this means for potential home buyers is that currently, you have fewer options for homes priced below the market due to the distressed sales. 135 distressed sales represent an absorption rate of 11.25 distressed sales per month, so if you apply that absorption rate to the current distressed inventory you will see that we only have a 3.2 month supply of distressed inventory. This is great news for the market as it further shows that we are getting closer to housing recovery in Truckee! I think that there will be more distressed listings over the winter and into the summer of 2010 but it appears that as time passes here in the Sierra we are pushing forward and possibly getting closer to recovery. Only time will tell…
