2012 Santa Maria CA End of Year Real Estate Market Update
Interesting figures in this end of year report. An approximate 3% increase in home sold in a one year period in Santa Maria. List prices came down, but actual sale prices didn’t move much, only a slight decrease. So, 2012 had 99.2% sales price compared to list price, and 2011 had a 97.9% sales price to list price comparison. So, even though average sale price edged down about $2654 in dollars, bargaining room from list price appears to have tightened. The number of foreclosures decreased 18% while the number of short sales increased 21.8%.
