“….there are over 450 homes and condos for sale in West Linn?”
What would be interesting to see is the ratio of homes for sale to homes sold. For example, 450 homes for sale and 14 homes sold, which is a ratio of about 32:1, which means that for every 1 home sold, there are 32 that didn’t sell. In other words, a seller has a 3% chance of selling their home for a particular week. Good for buyers, bad for sellers. How has the ratio trended over the last few months ? What needs to be done to improve the ratio in favor of the seller ? Do prices need to fall ? If so, how much ? What else can be done ? Am I wrong with my analysis ?
