Real Estate Conditions … Housing Markets Are Local

In fact, local market patterns frequently differ from state and national trends. Differences in housing markets become more apparent when you compare neighborhoods, communities, and counties. For example, in some markets home prices may have fallen by large margins, even as much as 50 percent from their peak. But other markets have experienced small declines, and a few markets have registered slight increases on occasion in recent months. The same is true of the share of distressed sales in different markets. In some areas, distressed sales (Short Sales, Foreclosures, and REOs or bank-owned properties) account for as much as three-quarters of market activity, while distressed sales in other areas may account for fewer than ten percent of the market.

Many areas reporting a large share of distressed sales of late have had a run up in building and home sales in recent years. It is important to note that for the most part, differences in the mix of homes for sale in the market are driven by local conditions. Even within a city, individual neighborhoods or subdivisions may be behaving quite differently. Because of the barrage of information out there with respect to real estate, it is best to turn to the expert in your local real estate market when considering purchasing or selling a home. In the end, while national and state trends are important, they do not necessarily reflect what is happening in the neighborhood or community where you want to buy or sell a home.
