MORRO BAY - REVIEW OF HOME SALES & MEDIAN SALE PRICES : 2005-2009
With the exception of home sales, a review of the
home sales from 2005 to 2009 in Morro Bay reveals a slow down in median sale
prices and decline in yield to sellers.
The issues are compounded by the length of time needed to sell a home in
Morro Bay today.
As shown in the graph
below, median sale price decreased every year from 2005, dropping by 1% to
$599,000 in 2006; and by 10% to $539,000 in 2007. By end 2009, the median price had dropped to $463,000. The decline could be attributed to increased
sales of more lower-priced homes.
Sellers also received less money as the sale price-to-list price ratio fell from 97.27% in 2005, to 93.2% in 2009.
While
prices did decline, the number of sales appeared to be improving. In 2005, the number of single-family homes
sold totaled 170. The figure dropped
each year to a low of 119 in 2008, and jumped by 12% to close at 133 sales in
2009.
A
review of the 2010 sales will provide more indication of the market conditions
in Morro Bay, so stay tuned for the next report.
