2012 Santa Maria CA End of Year Real Estate Market Update

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%.

Can I Buy A Home for $25,000 in Santa Maria, CA?

You would be surprised how many times I am asked this question with amounts varying from as little as $5000 to $50,000. And my answer to that is an easy no. I even had someone ask me about an $81,000 home in Foxenwood Estates! When I ask these potential buyers where they are getting this type of information, they point to the various foreclosure related websites. After sampling a few, for properties that are in pre-foreclosure (i.e. a Notice of Default has been filed) the amount of the payments that are in arrears, or the amount of the second loan owing on the property shows up as the list price, when in fact the home may not even be listed with a broker.
