December Real Estate Update for the Okanogan Valley

OKANOGAN VALLEY MARKET SNAPSHOT

After receiving about a foot of snow in early November, I thought for sure it was here to stay for the season, but by Thanksgiving it was all gone!  Back to bare ground and waiting for a white Christmas...

Residential sales were back up in November to 11 sales, with an average selling price of $127,331, and average days on market 282. As of 12/10/11, there are 241 active residential listings, and 12 sales pending.  Search homes here.  

Land sales increased to 10, with an average sales price of $38,700, and average days on market 407.  As of 12/10/11, there are 466 active land listings, and 9 pending sales.  

These are sales reported through the NWMLS for the Okanogan Valley.  They do not reflect the entire county, private sales, or sales from offices who are not members of the NWMLS.  These statistics are deemed reliable, but are not guaranteed.
