Dayton Nevada - Homes Sold in January 2010

Only 10 homes closed escrow in the Dayton Valley in January 2010, compared to 12 sales in January 2009. January historically is a slow month for home sales, so this is not altogether surprising, and certainly nothing to be alarmed over. Most escrows take 45 days to close and that means home buyers would need to be out shopping for homes in December. Instead, people were enjoying their Winter Holidays. 

Here are the statistics for Dayton Nevada Homes Sold in January:

• 10 homes sold
  
• Median asking price is $144,500
• Median selling price is $142,000
• Median days on market is 88
  

So what is the absorption rate for the Dayton Valley?

• There are 114 homes on the market as of 2/4/10
• 10 homes sold in October
  
• 114/10 = 11.4 months of inventory

Of the 114 homes on the market, 25 are bank owned and 34 are short sales. The number of homes on the market continues to hold steady, however over 51% of the market is distressed. So, the message with Dayton continues to be loud and clear: If you're looking to buy in Dayton, it's likely a distress sale and will either be a while to get escrow closed, or may have deferred maintenance and you'll need to do some repairs if it's bank-owned. However, the market has never been lower and you can buy a fabulous home for less than it costs to build.

(Data provided courtesy of the Northern Nevada Regional Multiple Listing Service and excludes manufactured and shared ownership housing for Areas 420, 416, 414, 412, 410, 402, and 403 known as the Dayton Valley and the outlying areas.)

Carson Valley Real Estate - Homes Sold in January 2010

We had 26 homes sell in the Carson Valley in January 2010, compared to 21 sales in January 2009. January historically is a slow month for home sales, so this is not altogether surprising, and certainly nothing to be alarmed over. Most escrows take 45 days to close and that means home buyers would need to be out shopping for homes in December. Instead, people were enjoying their Winter Holidays. 

Here is a snapshot of our market indicators for January:

• 26 homes sold
  
• Median asking price is $236,400
• Median selling price is $233,000
• Average days on market is 120

So what is the absorption rate for the Carson Valley?

• There are 377 homes available for sale in the Carson Valley as of 2/4/2010
• 25 homes sold in January
  
• 377/26 = 14.5 months of inventory

Since sales slowed in January, our absorption rate slipped a few perentage points. The key indicator we need to inquire is how many homes are pending right now? As of January 4, 2010, we had 84 homes under contract in the Carson Valley. As of today, there are 115 homes under contract. That's an increase of 37% and clearly demonstrates that as soon as the holidays ended, the buyers came back out into the marketplace. Of the 115 pending home sales, 57 are pending short sales and 23 are bank owned properties.

Of the 377 homes on the market, 43 are bank owned, 53 are short sales, and an additional 4 are Subject to Court Approval. That means that 25% of our market is distressed.

Yesterday I met a very nice couple in the Riverboat section of Dayton, Nevada. They are preparing to do a short sale on their family home.

When the Lyon County Assessor and builder established an address for the property in 2002, the address was determined to be 782 Monico Drive, however that is not accurate. The property is a corner, and apparently, the house was planned to be built facing Monico Drive. Instead it was built facing Gordon Lane.

The last time the home sold, it was deeded as 265 Gordon Lane, even though the Lyon County Assessor showed the property as 782 Monico Drive. You can imagine the title headache coming, not to mention the listing questions and MLS questions I had.

If the real address is 782 Monico Drive, obviously that is what I need to put on the listing agreement, so that I have a valid listing agreement. However, if I put 782 Monico Drive in the MLs, no one will ever find it, because the number on the house says 265 Gordon Lane.

This doesn't even begin to cover the title issues I see, since the house was deeded to my sellers as 265 Gordon Lane. So what's a girl to do? Call the Lyon County Assessor of course!

I placed a phone call to the Assessor this morning, and within 15 minutes, they had reviewed the property and changed the Assessor's records to reflect the true address of the property. There were no forms to fill out, no fees to pay, and no hearings on whether my clients should be allowed to have the legal address of their property match the physical address.

This also clears up the title issues because now the property address from Lyon County will match what is deeded, and all my documents can be in sync. 782 Monico Drive is no longer on the Assessors records whatsoever.

I love living in Rural Nevada - where you can still get reasonable things done in 15 minutes with a phone call.
