Wenatchee Condos Are Selling

A search this morning indicated there are currently 20 pending condo sales in the local MLS, as compared to a total pending sales inventory of 105. This means that 19% of the current "Pending" sales are condos, yet condos only make up 12% of the total inventory.

So, in relation to the inventory of homes for sale, condos are doing quite well. All price ranges seem to be selling well.
7 (35%) are condos priced at $145K or less. (4 at $95,500 or less)
4 range in price from $179K - $239K
5 range in price from $335K - $399K
5 are riverfront condos ranging from $535K - $625K

Here are some other overall numbers I extracted this morning from the Wenatchee and East Wenatchee area of the North Central Washington MLS (NCWMLS). This does NOT including Cashmere, Leavenworth, or Waterville:
Total Residential Listings: 712 (including condos)
Total Residential Pending: 105 (including condos)
% of Listings Pending 15%

Total Condo Listings 74
Total Condos Pending 20
% of Condo Listings Pending 27%

If I take the condos out of the top equation, it looks like this:
Total Residential listings (excluding condos) 638
Total Residential pendings (excluding condos) 85
% of Listings Pending 13%

I'm actually seeing two points here:
First, in spite of a slow down in the market place, there IS significant sales activity going on. And, secondly, a trend toward a higher percentage of condo sales. I still contend, many of our condos are a great affordable option for those on a limited budget and I think the consumers are starting to get.

Our monthly SNAPSHOT, out of Pacific Appraisal Associates, shows overall number of homes sold year-to-date (as compared to 2007) down 23% and dollar volume down 33%. However, I don't think the dollar volume being down more than the sales volume means prices are falling. I believe it means there is a trend toward people looking for more affordable housing. The inventory of higher priced homes continues to GROW. Under the circumstances, I don't like talking about year-to-year comparisons at this point (2008 vs 2007) because 2007 was a frenzy and 2006 was even worse. We're getting back to a more sane market and that is a good thing!

Getting to the business at hand, here is an overview of the supply-by-price-range statistics (months of inventory anticipated based on current sales volume)
$ 0 - $95K 2
$95K - $135K 5
$136K - $165K 7
$166K - $195K 4
$196K - $250K 7
$251K - 300K 9
$300K - $350K 9
$351K - $400K 14
$401K - $450K 12
$451K - $500K 14
$501K - $550K 25
$551K - $600K 9
$601K - $650K 42
$651K - $700K 42
$701K + 11

So, you can see, in general, as the price goes up so does the month's indicated supply... with a slight dip in the $551K - $600K range.

Have a great week-end!

Affordable Housing Post Challenged

My last post was about Wenatchee condos being the new "affordable housing" available. One reader took exception to the post and really ragged on me. Since it's buried in the comments section of the previous post and easy to miss, thought I would make it a post of it's own with my reply for all to read.

Anonymous commenter:
"how is that affordable? when wenatchee wages are not the same as seattle's? and the way of live here is totally different than there we can not have housing prices as Seattle and the rent is wa out of control here people are losing the rental to for closure so unless you are out there looking for a home or selling a home not a restate agent ether i mean a person that knows because i am going through all that sold my home for less than my real estate agent wanted me to had it on market for 15 months now that's good market yeah right my husband and i are needing to rent you know because when we bought this house 3 years ago it passed with flying colors on all inspections now could not pass same inspector funny huh so they are taking my prophet to pass inspection and leaving me with nothing for new home my husband has medical isues like conjestive heart failure how far is the reantal market for me now not so untill you liveed it you just dont know".

Carol's reply:
"Anonymous: Sounds like you've been through some challenging times. I couldn't ascertain a question in your comment, so I'm not sure how to respond.

I have no idea what your circumstances were and I wasn't involved in the marketing of your home so I can't comment on the issue of your home taking so long to sell and the problems associated with that. My experience that well priced homes (other than high end homes) were selling well.

My post was really directed at first time homebuyers trying to get started in the home buying process. Sounds like you've already been there and have had a difficult set of circumstances which required you to sell and turn to the rental market for housing.

Nevertheless, Wenatchee condos DO offer the most affordable, comfortable, opportunity to buy a home available. There are fully renovated condos starting at around $95,000. This IS affordable compared to single family homes and, in many cases, less expensive than trying to rent an apartment or home.

As for comparing our market to Seattle, there is no comparison. But, there are good paying and low paying jobs everywhere... and a full range of home (and rental) prices to serve the consumers. If you have a specific question for me, I'd be happy to try to answer it.

If you're just frustrated and need a place to rant that's fine too.

Best Regards!
Carol "

What do you all think of the affordability factor in Wenatchee?

Quail Run Condos: Wenatchee, WA

Here is a link to two new condo listings in a development I haven't covered before. Quail Run condos in Wenatchee are conveniently located south off Washington Street. This development was established in the mid to late 80's.

There is currently listed a one level rambler style 2 bedroom, 1 3/4 bath, with 1159 square feet priced at $212,900. This building of the complex was constructed in 1989. This is a nice unit but priced at least $13,000 higher than any previous sale in this development. The initial impression in previewing this unit is excellent but I would caution any potential buyer not to be distracted by the furnishings and decorations. Those do not add actual dollar value to the unit. It is fluff.

The other unit currently for sale (constructed in 1984) is a two story townhouse style. This unit is a 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 baths. I love these townhouse units because the two bedrooms are upstairs and they both have their own bathroom. There is an additional half bath on the main (entry) level. Also, I appreciate the fact that the laundry closet is upstairs where the bedrooms are.

One other word of caution in considering this development would be to carefully review the resale certificate, including financials. I have been told the monthly dues have not covered necessary expenses and special assessments have been made. Association fees have been raised and are currently $200 per month.

Wenatchee's SunTerra Condos

Another recent condo conversion project in Wenatchee is the Sunterra condos on Pennsylvania Street , conveniently located near downtown.

Currently there are 12 units listed for sale, ranging in price from $92,900 for a 1 bed, 1 bath unit up to $142,900 for a 2 bed, 1.75 bath unit.

This is an older apartment building (constructed in 1965) that was recently converted to condos. Homeowner's Association Dues are set at $125.

Wenatchee Condo Inventory: 10/27/2007

31 units Under 200,000
47 units Over 201,000
4 units in Cashmere (139,900 - $144,900)

Condos are selling, but buyers seem to prefer the newer construction. Of the 12 condos (in all price ranges) currently pending, 8 are pre-sales in the Stoney Court and River Walk developments. If you, or someone you know, is looking for "new" at an affordable price, there are a number of condo conversions with units that have been completely remodeled.

I'll take some time over the next few days to post listings specific to complex including, but not limited to: Parkside, Rocklund, Vista, Stoney Court, River Walk and River Street.

Stoney Court Condo Update: 7/28/2007

I stopped by the Stoney Court condo construction site in Wenatchee today to take a current picture. The siding is on building #2 (which was the first building started).

In the foreground you can see the foundation has been poured for the second building in this seven phase project.

For liability (insurance) reasons, I am not allowed on site or in the current building under construction yet. As soon as they allow, I will go in and take some close-ups of work in progress.

Wenatchee Condos: Year To Year Comparison

Since the first half of 2007 is now history, it seems to be a logical time to do a year-over-year comparison of condo inventory and sales for the region. This is a comparison of the first six months of 2006 over the first six months of 2007.

This includes Wenatchee, East Wenatchee and Leavenworth. There are 4 condos for sale in Cashmere, with no historical data for comparison. The picture at left is one of the condos available at 307 River St. in Cashmere.

Wenatchee condos:
New listings are up 91% (35/67)
Number of closed sales down 28% (38/27)
Average sales price up 9% ($173,229/$188,941)
Sale price to list price within 1%

East Wenatchee condos:
New listings are up 50% (16/24)
Number of closed sales down 20% ((15/12)
Average sales price down 4% ($190,293/$180/867)

Sale price to list price within 1%

Leavenworth condos:
New listings up 664% (7/84)
Number of closed sales down 16% (6/5)
Number under contract up 77% (9/16)
Average sales price up 26% ($204,917/$260,100)
Sales price to list price within 2%

Observations:
In spite of listing inventory being up dramatically, and sales numbers down, sale-to-list prices are holding pretty firm.

A large inventory of condos has recently been released, so we will watch the trend and see how supply and demand affects the list-to-sale price ratio.
