Hey! We’ve moved our Monthly Stats reports to Median Real Estate Prices for East Contra Costa County and changed to quarterly reports, which we think are more relevant. Check it out!

Stats are Where It’s At!

Once a quarter we update the inventory statistics of active homes for sale listings in our area as well as the median sold price of homes in East Contra Costa County.

Quick Market Stats Report – October 18th, 2016

This our first report under the new timing and format.

Most indicators are pretty much the same as our last report. Inventory of homes on the market is where it was at the time of our last report in August. They remain very, very low. Brentwood was the exception with a considerable uptick in inventory. Pittsburg and Bay Point were up just a little. Discovery Bay down some. Really there are no trend changes to point out yet.

Median prices are up a little in all areas except Antioch where they have dropped a bit. This is an interesting development! We will keep an eye on it.

You can see the stats bounce up and down each month in the chart above. The fewer the number of closings, like in Bay Point which has very few each month, the higher and lower the bounces appear. As you may know the greater the sampling size the more accurate your stats are. That’s why the true trends show over a longer time period.

So, in addition to the quarterly statistics reports, we plan to do a Year End post that will show the ups and downs over the entire year. We think this will help you visualize the market trends more easily.
