Countryside Stats Through Aug 2010

August New listings were at their lowest level since May. Tracking below 2009 levels yet above 2008 levels. The Total new listings for the year to date 2010 is 129 which is above 2009’s August y-t-d new listing count of 108.

The August Absorption Rate Graph look very similar to the New Listings Graph. Low figures are desireable for a Seller’s market however this figure is low based on the Low number of new listings this month compared to the high number of Sales (based on prior listings goign Under Contract). We’ve typically seen an increase in Absorption Rate in the past two years. Bucking the trend.

August 2010 number of sold listings continues to trend upwards from the very low June count of 3 for that month. Good news is August’s 9 sold listings is just below 2009’s level and still above 2008. The Y-T-D August 2010 Sold Count is 63 2009’s Y-T-D Aug Sold Count was 68. So we’re not far behind last year.

A dramatic drop in days on markeyfor August 2010 Sold Homes reveals the effect of the April tax credit’s affect. This level is close to 2009’s level and less than Half of 2008’s 79

August 2010’s Average Net Sales Price is tracking steady at an average of $180k. This value is still much closer to the 2009 level and far above 2008’s DROP. Remember the 2008 crash was about to happen this time of that year.

Work on the demolition of the old 80th Avenue Bridge over U.S. 36 and construction of a new bridge is set to begin next week. On or about Wednesday, May 19, 80th Avenue will be closed at the approaches to the old bridge. Motorists wishing to cross U.S. 36 will be directed to detour routes along Federal Boulevard, 72nd Avenue, Sheridan Boulevard and 92nd Avenue. The Lowell Boulevard/Turnpike Drive bypass will also remain available for local traffic. Demolition of the old bridge is planned for the night of Monday, May 31.

All work on the project will be completed by May 2011. For periodic project updates, visit http://www.coloradodot.info/projects/80thAve_US36 or call the CDOT hotline at 303-434-8188.
