Summary

The inventory of homes for sale in Granite Bay has decreased, but not at the same rate as the decrease in pending sale and closed sales between August and October.

Even with the decrease in the number of homes for sale, the number of months inventory has increased to over 10 months, due to the decline in sales over the past three months.

Relative to other areas of Placer County there are very few bank owned homes and short sales for sale in Granite Bay. They do make up a large percentage of the small number of homes currently pending sale. Many of the bank owned homes and short sales that are pending sale were on the market less than 2 weeks before an offer was accepted. Less than 10% of the sales that closed between August and October were bank owned or short sales in Granite Bay. This is a much lower rate than nearby areas, such as Roseville, Rocklin and Lincoln.

I can only guess that this is due to the relatively high income level and net worth of many Granite Bay residents. They have up until now been able to weather the real estate slump better than residents in other areas. It may also have a lot to do with the fact that thousands of homes were not built in in Granite Bay over the past decade, like they were in the other areas mentioned.

I wrote in August about how Newer Neighborhoods were being Hit Harder by Bank Repos and Short Sales. There were a lot of custom homes built in Granite Bay over the past decade, but there were nowhere near as many homes built in the area as in Roseville, Rocklin or Lincoln.

Unlike some of the other areas we follow the median and average sales prices have increased in Granite Bay, both quarter over quarter and year over year. The average sales price per square-foot has declined during the same periods.

This does not necassarily mean that home prices are appreciating in Granite Bay, it most likely means that larger homes are selling, which will tend to increase the average and median price, but decrease the price per square-foot.
