Overall, actual Murrieta home sales have dropped almost 28{c8f127ee0ae8e843244cc4fdd37fe5c6d1494d04024f10fe6afe3d18700f5f1b} from July and just under 3{c8f127ee0ae8e843244cc4fdd37fe5c6d1494d04024f10fe6afe3d18700f5f1b} in sales price. Temecula home sales have fallen less with home sales down roughly 10{c8f127ee0ae8e843244cc4fdd37fe5c6d1494d04024f10fe6afe3d18700f5f1b} but only losing a ½ percentage point in average price of home sold.
Ultimately, if you are looking to buy a home, it is a very good time with supply running high and prices slipping. If you are looking to sell, the best methodology is to have a sparkling clean home, enhanced curb appeal, and be priced right from the get go. Good homes are moving but the average time on market is 46-60 days. Pricing and presentation are absolutely key coupled with great pictures and accessibility. The good buyers are getting rare and missing that one good showing can hurt – a lot.
