Truckee Home Sales Chart 2004 – 3rd Quarter 2009

This chart shows the decline in the number of single family residences that have sold each year since 2004 in the Truckee Real Estate market. This YTD chart ending September 30, 2009 shows a total decline of 61%.  This is just single family homes in Truckee and Donner Summit. This number will improve, as there are currently 79 homes in escrow, and another 28 short sales in escrow. Short sales are a real wild card, but some of them will close before the end of the year. I’m predicting that by year end, the current 2009 decline in units sold will actually be an increase over last year.  That would make the 61% number of total decline I used above more like 51%. We’ll wait and see.

Median Land Price Chart for Truckee Real Estate 2004 – August 30, 2009

This chart shows the median land sales price changes since 2004 for vacant land in the Truckee Real Estate market. As you can see, prices have really taken a big hit so far in 2009.  What’s more, activity based by the number of sales this year has been abysmal. Much of the decline can be attributed to the lack of available construction financing. 2008’s statistics are a bit of an aberration, as individual land sales prices did not increase. Far from it, but there were just many fewer sales in the more “affordable” neighborhoods of Truckee, and thus the median sales price for what did sell was higher.  This land graph only accounts for lots that were under 1.5 acres, and excludes Northstar and Martis Camp, which are much higher price points.

Median Condominium Price Graph for Truckee Real Estate for 2004 – 8/30/2009

This chart shows the increases and decreases over the last 5 plus years, of median condominium values in the Truckee Real Estate market.  This does not include some of the luxury condos in Northstar, or Old Greenwood, as some of those price points (1.6 million) skewed the stats a little bit.  The median single family chart took about 20 hours for me to produce, and this one only took 5 or so.  (We’re cooking with gas now) Look for the land chart coming soon.  Since 2006, condo values in Truckee have decreased 34% YTD.
