Happy New Year!

Here is the 2019 year-end round up of Eldorado Real Estate activity. Whew!

Inventory was low all year. At any given time there were between 13 and 23 homes on the market – that is out of the 2,760 homes in our neighborhood. Lack of inventory is the reason for the increase in home prices.

145 homes sold in 2019

12 lots sold for between 35K -100K

$211 was the average price per square foot – so much goes into this number that is not a hard and fast rule.  This number depends on a wide range of factors –  the size of the house, age, quality of the finishes, views, heating, construction, etc. The larger the house, the lower the price per square foot. The smaller the house, the higher the price per square foot.

Properties typically stay on the market about 30 days, the homes properly prepared for sale and priced right sell much more quickly.

98%-100% is what Eldorado sellers typically receive on their listing price.

This is the listing price when the property went under contract, not the original listing price, which may have been higher. The sooner a property goes under contract, the closer to the listing price or sometimes higher, the seller is likely to receive.

In December:

503K was the average listing price – the HIGHEST of 2019.

– 451K was the average sold price.

– 2.1 months of inventory – which means the length of time it would take to sell all the homes listed in Eldorado at the current rate of sales. Six months indicates a balanced market between buyers and sellers. Less than 6 months means a seller’s market, more than 6 months means a buyer’s market.

Eldorado remains a popular neighborhood for lots of different kinds of buyers from all over the United States.
