Sunriver Market update for Q2 09

We have seen some new sales come on since my last update. We now have 14 closed sales at an average of about 93% of list price and we have 8 pending deals. Most of the pendings should close by month end and if they do the Quarterly total would be around $7.7 million. That assumes the 93% of list price holds for the pending listings.

Currently in Sunriver we have 202 homes, 54 condos, and 19 lots on the market.

Don't miss your best opportunity to buy

The new unemployment numbers are down and interest rates are heading higher. These are clear signs that the recession may be ending and growth may be returning. There will be a period where home prices are going to remain low and rates very favorable....that time is NOW. The inventory of homes in Sunriver and Caldera Springs are at summer levels. We have lots to choose from and our prices are the best we have had in years.

If you have been waiting now is the time to look seriously for a vacation resort property in Central Oregon.

Pending Home sales show strength

National Association of Realtors today announced that pending home sales for US markets were up for the 3rd straight month at 6.7%. That number represents the biggest gain in 7.5 years. The low interest rates, new home buyer incentives and lower prices have help see a return of buyers.

The view is that we may be seeing the bottom of the housing market and as the Summer month come we should start to see improvements across the board in the real estate market.
