This is a continuation of a three year study of Bank Owned home sales data for Folsom, CA. This report covers REO homes sold in May 2010.

There were 17 REO homes sold in March, up from 13 in April. The days-on-market decreased to 45, down from 53 the previous month. Only one of these homes had been on the market for over 100 days. In May 30% of the bank owned homes sold in two weeks or less.

The 17 homes sold represent 20% of all homes sold in Folsom, on the low end of the normal range. There are far fewer Bank Owned homes available on the market and short sale homes continue to have an impact.

The overall home inventory in Folsom dropped back down to a 2.7 month supply after s spike in a February and April to a 4.2 month supply. A neutral market is considered a 6 month inventory. So, we are still looking at a strong or stronger seller’s market. Available inventory in Folsom has not reached the six month level in well over a year. It may be a seller’s market in some areas, but that has NOT been so In Folsom.

The cost per square foot of REO homes in May dropped back down to $ 163 from the April $ 175 number. It has been running in a narrow range of $ 180 to $ 156 over the past fourteen months. The cost per square foot of all homes sold in January decreased to $ 181, up from $ 176 the previous month.

The difference between the cost per square foot of REO properties and the cost per square foot of all properties sold indicates that REO sales represented a 7% savings for REO buyers.

The overall sales price for REO homes was 97.5% of the final asking price. A full 30% of the buyers paid more than the asking price for their bank owned home. The banks are still pricing these homes well and in March there was a $ 13 dollar per square foot savings, compared to the cost of all homes sold. When we apply that price difference to a 2500 square foot home it represents a $ 32,500 savings, something worth considering when selecting a home.
