As you can see, with the exception of condos, the number of sales are up across the board. However, youll see selling prices are down in every category. The conclusion I come to is that there have been too many foreclosures sold in the rst half of the year that have affected the average selling price. We still have a way to go with foreclosures. I understand that August will be the peak month for 2011 for foreclosures coming on the market. The up side is that I have been busier this quarter than I have been in years. There were days that I worked with three different buyers. Even though I was showing properties up to $5 million, the best selling price range for homes remain between $100,000 and $200,000. There are properties that are currently under contract. CRYSTAL BALL REPORT I think we still have two years to go before we stabilize. Lending is still tight, foreclosures abound, but... I am hearing more often than not from buyers they feel mortgage rates will rise and they feel better with a tangible asset than parking it in a negative inationary CD or risk it in the stock market. I think there will be a time when people had wished they loaded up on real estate now. Thank you for taking the time to study this newsletter. My goal has always been to educate you about my market. If I can be of help to you and yours with Pagosa Springs real estate, Id considerate it an honor. Kindest regards,
JoAnn
