Today is Friday, January 30, 2009 and it is time for another breakdown of homes sales in the Washington County, Oregon market.
With the average drop in home pending sales in Washington County since this time last years is 30.95% and now we are starting to feel the pinch of short sales and foreclosures hitting the market. It has caused the average home sold price to drop 4.05% since in the last month. This is an interesting situation, because for the first time we are seeing prices start to fall, but I’m interested in seeing the next couple months as I have started to see a little more buyer activity this month versus last month.
I look forward to reporting this falls sales at the end of November and hopefully I will have some good news.
So, if you have a family home that you are thinking about selling, this is a great time to get it on the market!
Here is a breakdown of homes sales for the week by neighborhood. Just click on the link to your neighborhood for the complete breakdown of what the average of homes that are on the market, how long they have been on the market, how many have sold, what their average price was, and how long they were on the market.
As always, if you are looking to buy or sell in the Washington County, Oregon area, I would love to show you how you can save the most money by being on your side during the negotiations.

I share your optimism Todd. I think we are seeing vague signs that things are getting better. More people are out looking and making offers on homes around here, so that is a good thing.

It is going to be a great market soon.

Great information, way to go Todd!
Todd, always enjoy your statistics and the beautiful presentation. Thank you for sharing and hope all is well up in Beaverton.
I've been going back through the data on these older stats posts and I have to say though the information is sad, the people I've met because of these has been wonderful.
