Alhambra Real Estate Market Report - November 2008

Alhambra real estate market update for November 2008

The volume of listings in Alhambra has remained pretty constant in the last several months, although we see a definitely decrease in the number of home sales sold - down from 13 homes sold to only 7. Alhambra condos and Alhambra townhome sales remained fairly stable although December is going to show a dramatic drop since only 1 condo/townhome went into escrow in November.

Alhmabra homes that did sell in November, sold on average at 96% of asking price, although 3 homes out of 8 sold at or above asking.

Average price per square foot for Alhambra homes listed for sale is $377 way above, the average sold price of $329 which would explain why these homes are staying on the market for so long - 127 days on average. Absorption rate (number of weeks that it takes to sell Alhmabra homes given existing inventory and rate of sales) has increased to over 33 weeks.

Lowest priced Alhambra home on the market for November 2008 was at 3710 Stockbridge Avenue, a 2 bedroom/1 bath at $425,000.
