Here is a graph for Napa County that looks at the number of properties for sale, vs. pending, vs. sold. As you can see, the Napa Valley real estate market in 2012 is off with a bang. We had the highest number of pending properties in January, 2012 (175) in the past 15 months, while having the least amount of for sale (inventory) properties in the same time frame. The 2012 Real Estate selling season is well underway!
Here is a link to the Wall Street Journal discussing Home Prices down in Silicon Valley and how they are defying logic. (Just wait for the Facebook IPO, wow) Along with Silicon Valley, the Napa Valley was on of the few bright spots for median price paid for resales of single family detached houses. (Year-over-year for 4th quarter 2011) We might not have seen the large % increase like other areas, but we were up 1.6% and are very busy right now. There are a plethora of 1st time homebuyers and real estate investors competing for homes under $500,000. We have also seen the high-end pick-up recentley as well, as we have seen quite a few $5 million plus properties sell in the past few months.
