As of April 30, 2012 active listings in Santa Clara County are a scant 1621, of that the single family homes were 1263 and condo/townhomes were 358. This number is continuing to decline. These numbers were down 55% from last year's figure!
The number of homes and townhome/condos that went into contract over the last 30 days was 1779 (single family - 1318, condo/townhome - 461). This figure was less than last year. However, if we had the inventory we would have sold a lot more homes! Many areas of seeing multiple offers on homes.
The number of closed sales in March were 1368 (987 were single family homes and 381 were condo/ townhomes). The closed sales up 7% over last year. Again, if we had more inventory these numbers would be through the roof!
