Of the 42 sold homes in the past one year there were seven distressed sales – six were short sales and one was a bank owned or REO property. In general Balboa Island is showing a stable to a seller’s market with the absorption rate.
In my opinion, the stable market will continue and we may see a positive trend towards a seller’s market with the declining inventory and the increase in sales.
