Such activity has not been observed since 2005 and has made local officials and real estate experts quite excited. Areas, where sales rose, include communities in Solano and Contra Costa counties.
Home prices in the Bay Area declined to a record 53-month law. Median home prices plunged by 29.3 percent to $470,000. According to DataQuick, this is the sharpest decrease since the company began tracking such data over twenty years ago.
On the other hand, home sales rose by 2.2 percent last July compared to last year. But this is still far from the July 1988 average, which is at 24.2 percent. Foreclosure sales increased by 4.2 percent in the Bay Area from last year, which clearly shows that buyers are looking into the golden opportunities that these foreclosed houses offer.
For experts, the increase in sales activity will pave the way towards getting a clearer picture of the local housing market. If the inventories of foreclosure properties are reduced, some level of stability will be felt in the housing industry. Sellers, buyers and even lenders can finally leave the sideline and get back to the game.
