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.

Dayton NV Homes - Homes Sold in December 2009

Only 16 homes closed escrow in the Dayton Valley in December 2009, compared to 27 sales in November, and 13 sales in December 2008.

The Dayton Valley Nevada real estate market ended the year with 308 sales for all of 2009, substantially higher than the 176 sales in all of 2008. Indicators show that our market has definitively moved through the low point in sales volume. Basic economic models tell us that when sales volume improves and supply diminishes, price appreciation typically follows. We'll continue to watch 2010 trends closely to see if this indeed is the case in the Dayton Valley.

Here are the statistics for Dayton Nevada Homes Sold in December 2009:

• 16 homes sold
  
• Median asking price is $129,900
• Median selling price is $127,450
• Median days on market is 92
  

While volume may have been lower than in previous months, that's not too particularly surprising. The real estate market often enters a 'quiet period' between Thanksgiving and Superbowl Sunday when people focusing their attention on the holidays and traveling to see family over winter break.

So what is the absorption rate for the Dayton Valley?

• There are 109 homes on the market as of 1/8/10
• 16 homes sold in October
  
• 109/16 = 6.8 months of inventory

The absorption rate fluctuated this cycle because of the decrease in the number of closed escrows during December. Look to the absorption rate to start trending back down in January and be back below 4 months in February if inventory levels remain constant. Dayton's enduring affordability over neighboring Carson City, Reno, Sparks or the Carson Valley continues to be a big draw for homebuyers.

Of the 109 homes on the market, 27 are bank owned and 35 are short sales. The number of homes on the market continues to hold steady, however over 56% of the market is distressed. So, the message with Dayton is 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.

Dayton NV Homes - Homes Sold in November 2009

We had 27 homes sell in the Dayton Valley in November 2009, another marked increase over November 2008 when 15 homes sold. November makes the fourth month in a row where sales volume has (nearly) doubled year over year. 

Here are the statistics for Dayton Nevada Homes Sold in November 2009:

• 27 homes sold
  
• Average asking price is $166,572
• Average selling price is $165,652
• Average days on market is 151

This is remarkable because the gap between average asking and average selling price is less than $1,000, attesting to the tightness of the real estate market in the Dayton Valley.

So what is the absorption rate for the Dayton Valley?

• There are 105 homes on the market as of 12/21/09
• 27 homes sold in October
  
• 106/27 = 3.89 months of inventory

The absorption rate for the Dayton Valley continues to be strong and under the 5-7 months considered a normal supply. Dayton's affordability over neighboring Carson City, Reno / Sparks or the Carson Valley continues to be a big attraction over the higher priced areas.

Of the 105 homes on the market, 26 are bank owned and 31 are short sales. The number of homes on the market continues to hold steady, however over 50% of the market is distressed. So, the message with Dayton is loud and clear: If you want to get a good deal on a home, be patient. It's likely a short sale. It may take several months. But - if it's all you can afford, what are your other options? They are not plentiful in this tight market.
