While home buying demand is still down, we are seeing fewer and fewer distressed sales each month.  This is a great indication of the real estate market getting healthier overall. 90% of homes sold in the Valley are normal sales.

Average days on the market

We are seeing what appears to be a balancing of the market, with monthly supply staying under 4 months and days on market flattening out.

Buyer demand continues to be a question mark in the current real estate market.  There is definitely potential for a greater influx of home buyers:

1. Retiring baby boomers
2. Boomerang buyers (buyers with a previous short sale or foreclosure)
3. First time home buyers

We can only wait and see what factors will come into play that will help these potential buyers to decide to enter the real estate market and purchase a home.
