Good News! Year over year, 2016 showed gains across the board for Residential Real Estate in Tuolumne County. The Median Sales Price increased 7%, the Average Sales Price increased 8% and the Total Number of Sales was up 5%. Higher end homes showed a 37% increase with 59 homes selling at $500,000 and above in 2016 compared to 43 in 2015. Adding to the good news- distress sales continued to decline. In fact this year there were only 7 short sales as opposed to 17 in 2015 and 47 in 2014. If I had to pick one word to describe how the market felt in 2016 I would choose: solid.
The current number of Active homes for sale as of January 5 was 297. That is down from 319 when I ran the same report January 8, 2016. Interested rates have increased slightly since the Presidential election and that, coupled with tighter inventory is keeping Buyer demand high.
