Plymouth, MN Real Estate - Current Housing Statistics - March, 2009
April 10th, 2009 Categories: Plymouth Current Housing Statistics, Real Estate News, Twin City Sellers
This month’s report about the housing statistics in Plymouth shows that the number of homes listed on the market has dropped 22.7% for single family homes and 16.7% for town homes and condos. Meanwhile, new listings are only down 2.1% this year over last year at the same time. That means that many of the homes that were listed last year are not re-listing this year.
Why would that be?
One reason is that folks realized that they couldn’t get the price that they wanted for their home last year, and would probably have to sell it at a loss. Not many of us can afford to do that. Therefore, they’re going to sit tight for a while.
The other reason is that some of last year’s listings are now bank-owned properties. The banks are notorious for being slow at returning these homes to the market for sale. They are burdened with bureaucracy and inept employees. Sorry, banks! Just speaking from experience!
