Some Real Estate Statistics for Clinton

Recent statistics show houses are selling; the trends, however, are different

My name is Olga Gebauer, I am a Realtor with Coldwell Banker JH&H, Westbrook office.

I decided to start this blog to provide some information on the real estate market on the shoreline area and Clinton in particular, since I am a Clinton resident.

I will be posting the latest market statistics on a monthly basis on houses that sold/are  currently on the market in the town of Clinton.  I will also be blogging about different real estate related subjects and real estate industry news and the local market trends.

A lot of people people tend to think that houses are not selling.

They are still selling and the number of sales are quite impressive. Last year there were 114 houses sold in Clinton alone (excluding condos & mobile homes) and this statistic does not include private sales, only the sales involving a Realtor.

Actually the number of sales is a bit up compared  to 2009, when 111 homes were sold.

The other trend is the price range of sold homes. In 2009, 30 homes were sold within $300,000-$399,999 but in 2010 only 20.

The demand has now shifted towards starter homes within the $200,000-$250,000 price range.

Also the sale of foreclosures & short sales increased from 15 in 2009 to 18 in 2010.
