The Heavenly Valley 2015 market comparison report shows mostly steady statistics and some negative ones in the real estate categories we followed throughout the year. When comparing 2015 to 2014, we find that the number of sales stayed the same but the median sale price decreased and so did the median dollar per square foot.

Current Market Conditions
As of January 5, 2016 the Heavenly Valley neighborhood reports 14 homes on the market (active and in escrow) ranging from a minimum of $430,000 to a high of $1,999,000. The basic law of supply and demand is described in real estate terms as the “absorption rate.” Absorption rate (or monthly supply of inventory) are a calculation based upon the rate of closed sales to active listings. It is an accurate way to keep track of market trends. It is considered a balanced market when there is a six-month supply of homes available for sale. This indicates that that there is enough inventory to supply the current demand of buyers looking to purchase. Less than six months is considered a seller’s market and greater than six months is a buyer’s market. As of December 31, 2015 the Heavenly Valley neighborhood is reporting a month supply of 6.5 as compared to 8.6 for the same time in 2014.
