News That You Can Use!

7/1/08:

 

Economic News:

  • Unemployment claims stayed at 384,000 for the week ending 6/21/08, making no change from the previous week.
  • Median sales prices fell to $215,000 in Stanislaus County, which was $10,000 lower than in April and 36.6 percent below May 2007, according to DataQuick Information Systems.

o       But the number of existing homes sold soared by more than 89 percent this May compared with a year ago.

o       Blame foreclosed houses for both the price drop and the sales spike.

o       While low-priced existing homes are selling well, new houses are hardly selling at all. Only 68 new homes sold during May throughout Stanislaus County, which was a drop of nearly 45 percent compared with 2007.
