Dayton Area Home Sales
 

The year 2010 opened with year-over-year single-family average property values increasing for the seventh straight month. The average price for January came in at $112,643, up 9% over last January’s $103,323.The median sales price was $90,000, an even more impressive year-over-year increase of 20% over January 2009’s $75,000 median.

These figures were generated from 520 single-family sales, identical to last year’s total for January, and from a sales volume of over $58.4 million, a healthy 8.81% increase over last year’s $53.7 million.

When condominiums are included in the residential count, our January total did surpass last year’s by 3.57%, due to a jump from 22 to 41 condo sales for the month. The percentage of sale/list price was 94.57%, an unusually high jump of 2.18% compared to last January’s 92.55%.

Single-family listings submitted in January jumped to 1,727, up from December’s 1,246, and represented a 1.58% increase over last year’s 1,700 listings during the same month. This was the highest monthly listing total since last September.

The overall single-family MLS inventory stands at 7,835, and represents a supply of 15 months based on the slow seasonal pace of sales. Last year, at the same time, with the same sales pace, and a higher inventory level of 8,303 listings, the supply was 16 months.

 Foreclosure vs. Short Sale-An Overview and Possible Solutions:

Although there are some signs of improvement in the Dayton-area housing market, many homeowners are still struggling with their mortgage payments.  This unfortunately can lead to foreclosure which has touched millions of homeowners for a multitude of reasons including predatory lending, adjustable rate mortgages, increased property taxes, job loss, injury/medical expenses.  These economic pressures coupled with a real estate market that no longer enjoys the automatic appreciation in home values that it once did, are just some of the reasons responsible for Americans falling behind on their mortgages.

 

WHAT IS FORECLOSURE? Foreclosure is a legal process in which a lender takes the title or forces the sale of a property as a result of the borrower’s failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the mortgage.  Foreclosure is a tremendous hit to a homeowner’s credit rating, and it can be an emotionally strenuous event.  An alternative to foreclosure is a short sale.

 

WHAT IS A SHORT SALE?  A short sale allows a financially insolvent homeowner who is behind on payments and facing foreclosure to sell his home with approval from his lender for less than the value of the loan.  The lender accepts the sale as payment in full for the loan.  Benefits of a short sale versus a foreclosure action include allowing the homeowner more control of the sales process and a significant difference in the impact to his credit score.  (Foreclosure lowers an individual’s credit score by 100-150 points versus the sale of the home through a short sale.)

 

Team Taylor specializes in assisting homeowners avoid foreclosure through short sales.  For additional information on the short sale process, or if you or someone you know is struggling to make mortgage payments and is facing a foreclosure action call us today for a confidential analysis of your situation.  Our services are provided at no cost to the homeowner.
