The above statistics have been compiled for all single family homes in ARC North (not including The Cascades or Canyon Falls Village) utilizing Metrolist MLS data.

The number of homes sold in 2012 is up 9% over the previous high of 34 homes sold in 2007.  Bank owned properties and short sales no longer represent the majority of home sales in ARC North. 

Over the past 6 years values in the Canyon have continued downward despite the surge in home values in Folsom overall.  ARCN's 2007 average sale price per square foot was $221, substantially higher than the current  $153.  With the increased activity we have seen in 2012, I believe that 2013 will be the year where property values will again be on the increase due to low inventory and high buyer demand.

Average days on market have been as high as 93 in 2011 to 2012's low of 54.  Again, due to the historically low inventory of available homes in the Canyon.

If you are considering selling in 2013, it's all good news...American River Canyon North homes are selling!  In my 19 years of experience in the Canyon, the sellers who obtain the best prices and receive an acceptable offer in the least amount of time are the sellers who have maintained their home, updated (if necessary), prepare the home for market, and list with an experienced real estate professional who will provide knowledgeable guidance through each step in the process.
