January 25th, 2010 categories: Benicia, Market Update, Vallejo

Dec 09 Ben Home Sales2They say that curiosity killed the cat. But when it comes to finding out how much that home down the street sold for, I think almost everyone has a little curiosity in them.

It’s just human nature to want to get the ‘inside scoop.’

So to satisfy that curiosity, every month I post a list of every home sale in both Benicia and Vallejo.

Wonder how much a particular home sold for? Or how long it was on the market?

Curious how much a particular seller had to drop his price before getting a sale? Care to know whether a certain home sale was an REO, short sale or regular sale?

Answers to all those questions and more are just a click away, in the December Benicia Home Sale Report and Vallejo Home Sale Report.

As the graphic above illustrates, you’ll find the following information for EVERY home that closed escrow in December in Benicia and Vallejo:

  • Address

Vallejo

  • The least expensive home in Vallejo last month was a condo on No. Camino Alto, that closed at $35,900, while the highest sales price was for a home on Sealion Pl in Glen Cove, which sold for an even $500,000.
  • Five of the 151 Vallejo home sales sold in 2 days or less, including a home on Rosewood Ave., which went into contract the same day it came on the market. The longest sales period was 405 days, for a home on Bennington Dr. in Hiddenbrooke.
  • 53 homes sold for less than their starting price, but 83 sold for more than their original list price, which is another sign that the worst may finally be over for Vallejo.
