It is no surprise that there were fewer homes sold in Daphne in 2008 compared with 2007. The average price per square foot of living space dropped by 5.6% and the average sales price is down by 5%. Compare these figures with the rest of the U.S. According to Case-Shiller’s 20-city index in November, prices dropped 18.2% on an annual basis.  Going back to the high price point in July 2006, homes in these 20 cities have lost up to 25% of their value. Phoenix, San Francisco and Las Vegas have each lost more than 30% in the last year.  The bright side is that with both home prices and interest rates low, renters and others who have been on the fence, can finally buy a home with a lower mortgage payment than they previously dreamed of. BarbaraSellsDaphne.com has all the listings in Baldwin and Mobile Counties for your viewing. Or give Barbara a call on the Click to Talk button!
