Regular readers of this site know that my particular method of tracking all sorts of Greensboro real estate information is by zip code. Zip code profiles help drill down that information a bit further. This is the second such profile on this site. (My profile of 27410 can be found here. And, yes, it has been a minute since I did that profile. No sense in rushing these things;)  )

BTW, this is very broad information about local real estate, as reported in the Triad MLS. For a comprehensive look at demographics for this zip code, look here.

*Meh*

As has been the case almost from the beginning of this sad state of affairs,  zip codes 27405 and 27406 are carrying the lion’s share of the listings, with 19% and 24%, respectively. But 27407 is now approaching their numbers with 18% of the foreclosures.

A big change has been in the 27410 zip code. At the beginning of the year, only about 7% of total listings were located there. Now it is about 13%. It should be noted that 27410 is by far the largest zip code both geographically and in regards to the number of overall listings, so that fact that there is a growing percentage of foreclosures isn’t surprising. You can read a profile of the 27410 zip code I wrote here.

Of the new foreclosure listings last week, the 15 were (mostly) spread evenly over 6 of 9 zips.

Comparing last week with the corresponding week from last year, and 2010 has been worse in both the actual number of listings for the week and in the 12-week rolling period. Way worse:

Frankly, there will probably be new foreclosures coming on the market for some time. Even while things may start improving in the economy as a whole, the foreclosure process take weeks and months to work through the pipeline. So we won’t see properties hit the market for some time that are already headed that way.

However the numbers shake out, you can read about them here.

* All data from Triad Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and is only as good as the information entered, which is done by humans, who make errors. The information is only for those residential zip codes for Greensboro and does not include the surrounding communities.

Looking over the last 6 months, the total number of listings (including ‘active’ and ‘pending’ listings) is 2996*. That’s almost exactly smack-dab in the middle of the highest number of 3091 on May 26th and the lowest of 2892 on March 31st.

And the average list price – $222,900 – is lowest it’s been in that same time period.

This is not particularly welcome news for sellers, but awesome for buyers.

There has been a slight increase in the percentage of foreclosures in these numbers. Four of the nine Greensboro zip codes had a small increase in foreclosure listings: 27405 (+3), 27406(+5), 27410 (+2) and 27455 (+2). 27403 had a reduction (-1)The rest remained the same.

The percentage of overall listings that are foreclosures increased from 189 (6%) to 200 (7%). Nearly all of that gain is in the single-family category.

An example of a listing with an asking price representative of the average is this lovely thing at 1809 Colonial Avenues:

1809 Colonial Ave, Greensboro, NC 27408 $225,000 (MLS#526828)

The average listing price of $222,900 can buy a really nice house in a very nice neighborhood. The example to the left is such a house. With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths this house is representative of the size one would might expect as an “average”.

All in all, the numbers continue to show that Greensboro is following the very general trends of most of the country but without the big ‘ouchies’ some areas are enduring. Good deals are available, nice homes are on the market and a few houses are owned by banks.

Keep watching this space to see what happens next.

And now, the rest of the graphs, please…..

Too soon to say there’s a trend, but we’ll take it.

Those 7 foreclosures are located in 4 zip codes of Greensboro:

• 27401 – 2 listings
• 27405 – 2 listings
• 27406 – 2 listings
• 27410 – 1 listing

All but one are single-family houses, 1 being a townhouse.

Some data of note: the list price range for the houses is substantially narrower – and lower – than for any week since May.

• highest list price - $89,900
• lowest list price – $24,900
• average list price – $54,314
• median list price – $44,900

AND, for the first time in a goodly while, the number of foreclosure listings over a 12-week rolling period declined. We’ve been on an upward tick for this measure since June. So, again, good news.

The zip codes most impacted by foreclosures continue to be 27405 and 27406, which account for fully 50% (64) of the total number of foreclosures listed (128) in the last 12 weeks

Below are the requisite charts and graphs, but first here are a couple of properties that represent some of the foreclosures available in Greensboro right now:

2400 Peppervine Trail, Greensboro, NC 27455 $239,900 (MLS#530680)

2000 S. Benbow, Greensboro, NC 27406 $33,500 (MLS#525347)
