Monterey Hills Real Estate Market Report - October 2008

Monterey Hills real estate market activity and update for October 2008

Monterey Hills real estate is in a flux of confusion right now.  Even though the volume of available condos  and townhomes on the market is quite low, the prices are dropping at a rapid pace.  The area has been affected by a number of short sales and foreclosures that are pulling the sales prices down.  Buyers are taking a "wait and see" attitude.

It is now reasonable to expect to find a decent 2 bedroom condo with all the amenities for under $300,000.  Monterey Hills sellers are still hoping for the mid $300,000 where the majority of the condo listings are.  This will explain an average days on the market of the October condo listings of 142 days - over 3 months.  These condos are also listed at an average of $333 per sq. ft. vs. the sold price per sq. ft. of $268.  I don't see the market getting better for these sellers, but amazing opportunities exist for Monterey Hills condo buyers.
