Hot August for Alameda Home Sales

Some good new for Alameda home sales, August has shaped up to be the highest volume in sales for 2009. It is the most property that has sold since October of 2008 and is a nice closeout to the Summer selling season.

Although the final numbers will not be in until later next week, the 46 sales for the month is just two shy of the sales in August of 2008. So if the there are last minute sales recorded to the MLS then we could match or exceed last year.

Even though the Summer end on a strong note, the traditional home selling season, was down 19 percent year-over-year for the same period.

The median home sale price for August fell to a five month low and the average price was a three month low. The median home price for the month was $505,500 and the average was $554,496.

The year is pacing 18 percent behind 2008 where 311 properties changed hands from January to August compared to 255 this year. I expect that sales will follow the seasonal pattern and fall as we head towards the end of the year, how big a drop will shape how poorly we finish 2009.
