Finally, the number of properties listed for sale in Greensboro has dipped a bit. It’s been a minute since that’s been the case and is welcome news. The number isn’t lower by much, mind you, and the average list price is up by only roughly the amount some spend on designer coffee each month. But still… Down is down and up is up.

I’ve added a new metric this week, one I should have been tracking all along. It occurred to me that while I post weekly information about the raw number of foreclosures listed in Greensboro, I haven’t shown that number as a percentage of total listings.

D’oh!

This weeks rights the wrong. But first the overall data:

• Total listings: 2925* (down 72, or 2.4% from last week)
• Average list price: $225,470 (up $322 or .1% from last week)

Of the total listings 189 (6%) are listed as foreclosures. This breaks down into type of housing as follows:

• single family: 153 of 2110 (7%)
• townhouse: 15 of 422 (4%)
• condominium: 21 of 393 (5%)

Breaking further by zip codes:

And the rest of the data (and not for nothing, but between the high prices and low foreclosure percentage, you’ve got to think homeowners in the 27408 zip code are loving life)

As always, whether the news is good or bad, you’ll see it here.
