Let look at what the current Oak Bay Real Estate activity is telling us.....
How long will it take to sell the current Single family inventory of 94 homes for sale.
281 homes Sold over the last year- divided 281 by 12 = 23.42% homes sold per month
23.42% of the 94 Current listing = 3.9 months is inventory is available in Oak Bay...lets say 4 months.
Less than 5 months of inventory indicates a Sellers Market
5-7 months of inventory = balanced market
Greater than 7 months = Buyers market
These Stats indicate Oak Bay Real Estate is currently a Sellers market, meaning little room to negotiate for Oak Bay home Buyers. Prices are holding steady in the first 6 months of 2010.
