Prescott Real Estate Market Update
January 20th, 2010 categories: Market Update, Prescott Market Statistics, Real Estate News
The chart below is the absorption rate for site built, single family homes in the City of Prescott. Absorption rates are a calculation of how long it will take for all of the homes on market to be sold, or absorbed, at the current rate of sales.
The data used came from the Prescott MLS and is deemed reliable, but not guaranteed.
| Price Range | Residential Properties On The Market | Closed Sales Last Month | Absorption Rate # Of Months It Will Take To Sell |
|---|---|---|---|
| $300,000 and below | 253 | 34 | 7.4 Months |
| $300,001 to $500,000 | 251 | 16 | 15 Months |
| $500,001 to $800,000 | 135 | 10 | 13 Months |
| $800,001 to $100,000,000 | 96 | 1 | 96 Months |
| $100,000,001 and above | 46 | 0 | 46 Months |
| Totals | 781 | 61 | 12.8 Months |
The absorption rate has gone up slightly over the past few months, meaning it may take a little longer to sell a home. The listing inventory continues to shrink giving buyers fewer choices, yet homes that are over prices continue to be overlooked. There are smart buyers out there.
For those who still wish to take advantage of the home buyer tax credit, you must have an accepted, binding contract by April 30, 2010, and must close escrow by July 1, 2010.
