Livermore Real Estate’s market activity in the neighborhoods of Sevillano and Ponderosa Legacy has increased noticeably over the past six months, and it has the coming of inventory to the market to give the credit to. Within the last six months, five closed sales were noted. However, the season before that was a lot less active. There had been no record of closed sales since October last year to April this year. Despite such inactivity during the prior season, it looks like 2011′s statistics so far will have to beat 2010′s which only had seven units of sales closed in total for the entire year. The six successful sales were only from April to September and there is still October to December to generate more sales, especially since there is still one additional sale in pending along with four active listings.

The average price of the four active listings mentioned above is $1,262,000 or $315 per square foot. These listings have been available on the market for 24 days on the average. Furthermore, none of these are distressed properties (short sale or REO).

Livermore market’s only pending sale is the home located on Saratogo Court. It costs $1,299,500 or $290 per square foot, and it is not distressed. Although this is a very unlikely case for this neighborhood, this property has been on the market for 101 days, which is considered a long time.

For the five closed sales, the average closing price was $1,127,000 or $284 per square foot. These homes didn’t only vacate the market in a matter of 14 days, they were also sold about 96% of their asking price. 2210 Leccino Court was a short sale.

Just as the Livermore neighborhoods have shown excellent market performance in the last six months, the Carlton Oaks neighborhood of Pleasanton has done a remarkable job as well. It seems like any home that got listed on the market got sold easily and quickly. Although there are two active listings that have been on the market for more than 30 days, this is very unusual for this neighborhood. Compared to last year’s sales which only amounted to two homes for the entire year, 2011 looks like it will yield more, as it has already successfully sold two homes in the past six months and two remaining pending ones.

The two active listing’s average price is $1,125,000 or $321 per square foot. They have been on the market for 49 days on the average. Also, none of these homes are distressed.

On the other hand, the average price of the two pending ones is $1,043,950 or $299 per square foot. They have been on the market for only nine days and neither property is distressed.

Lastly, the two closed sales had an average sales price of $1,019,000 or $285 per square foot, which was about 98% of the asking price. They stayed on the market for an average of days. The home located on 1362 W Lagoon Road was REO.
