January 2010 Sales Stats Palm Desert

Palm Desert California experienced a slower than expected start to the new year. We are seeing  such a high level of activity these numbers surprised me a bit. I attribute it to the fact that at the first of the year many people put their properties on the market - condo inventory went up by about 44 units - homes by 73 units.  The lower sales figures for homes I would attribute to buyers taking longer to make up their minds plus short sales really slow the system down taking three times as long, in most cases, as bank or regular sales.  Condo sales increased in total units from December.
