Short Sales in Discovery Bay California

Short Sales in Discovery Bay California are becoming the dominate part of the market. There are 20 Short Sale Homes on the Market in Discovery Bay California which is almost half of the active market.

Only 11 Short Sale Homes closed escrow in Discovery Bay California in November and 9 Short Sale Homes closed escrow in December.

What concerns me is that there are currently 64 Pending Short Sale Homes in Discovery Bay California. This means that at this rate it could take about 6 months to close that entire pending; assuming they were to all close.

The asking price for Short Sale Homes is lower on an average cost per SF Basis ($124.00) than the average SF cost of all the homes on the market ($181.00). This may be partially because it is hard to get an offer on Short Sale homes compared to the rest of the market in Discovery Bay California.

But the actual Sales Price on Short Sale Homes is about the same on average based on SF too. In November Short Sales in Discovery Bay California sold for $129.00 per SF on average while the overall average was $131.00. In December Short Sales Sold for $119.00 per SF and the overall average per SF was $113.00.

Due to the small number of sales and the eclectic nature of the Discovery Bay market there will be wide swings in prices from month to month.  These numbers do not indicate a trend - yet.

As a Buyer or a Seller of a Short Sale Home there are two important things you can do. Make sure your Realtor has his/her SFR Designation (Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource) and request these Free Booklets on Selling and Buying a Short Sale Home.

Only 24 Short Sale Homes closed escrow in Brentwood California 94513 in November and 27 Short Sale Homes closed escrow in December.

The uptake in December sales seems odd as this is traditionally a slow month, but I have seen similar upswings in other areas. What concerns me is that there are currently 200 Pending Short Sale Homes in Brentwood California 94513. These means that at this rate it could take about 8 months to close that entire pending; assuming they were to all close.

The asking price for Short Sale Homes is lower on an average cost per SF Basis ($126.00) than the average SF cost of all the homes (under $1,000,000.00) on the market ($145.00). This may because it is hard to get an offer on Short Sale homes compared to the rest of the market in Brentwood California 94513.
