Mountain View Market Update, Jan 10th

As of this morning, this is the snapshot of the Mountain View real estate market--

Single Family Homes:

Active Listings: 57
Pending Sales: 9
Sold Last Week: 1

Condos/ Town Homes:

Active Listings: 57
Pending Sales: 12
Sold Last Week: 4

So what does this mean? Not too much. There wouldn't normally be too many closed sales at the end of the year because of the holidays. The condo market and the single family home market have a similar ratio of pending to active listings, although it is a little better for single family homes. The result may be a little off, however, because there are more new condo/town homes on the market than single family homes, so these numbers are not an exact picture--not every new home in a development is on MLS. The inventory of both classes is shrinking, but that is to be expected as most sellers don't put their homes on the market at this time of year, preferring to wait until after the New Year. I will have a better idea of where the market is going a few weeks into January. If the inventory goes up a lot faster than the pending sales, we will see price declines. If the inventory stays the same and the pending sale rate stays the same, we should have some stability in prices. If the inventory goes down and pending sales stay the same or increase, we could see some appreciation. I will let you know when I think there is a real trend I can put my finger on.
