The statistics show that many homes in this area that are for sale are bank owned. The problem with this is that banks will take less money than a homeowner, leaving homeowners with a “No Sale” or a drastically reduced sales price if they accept an offer. The lower priced sold homes are driving down prices and bringing down appraisal values as well.

6 were bank owned foreclosures

A time snapshot shows us that in:

September 2007 14 homes sold
September 2006 17 homes sold
September 2005 31 homes sold
September 2004 37 homes sold

The gradual decline from the 2004 Chula Vista real estate surge is evident in the lower sales numbers. Since most sales are now bank foreclosures and many are short sales, auctions and new home sales in the Chula Vista area, this is really putting sellers in a position to sell for less than they wanted too or keep the property.

The average list price for homes in escrow is $633,742 with the highest priced home in escrow at $1,085,000 and the lowest at $444,900.

Condos for Sale in Chula Vista 91915

There was 1 condo that closed escrow in Chula Vista 91915 for the month of September in 2007. It was 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 1,189 square feet located in Antigua in EastLake next to EastLake High School. This condo sold for $295,000 and was on the market for 8 days. A time snapshot shows us these 91915 Chula Vista Condo statistics:

September 2007 condo sales 1
September 2006 condo sales 8
September 2005 condo sales 17
September 2004 condo sales 4

The September 2004 stat at 4 condos was only because most of the condos that are in 91915 today weren’t built yet or were being built and were new. These stats won’t show here. If there were more resale condos at the time the 2004 number would be higher than the 2005 number. You can see the drop in sales from 2005 to 2006 is half the number and from 2006 to the 2007 numbers are down by 7 homes to only 1 sale. I like to hear agents put positive spins on everything but if you’re selling a condo in 91915 these stats should have you concerned. If you’re buying you should be able to find a deal and make sure you buy your condo in Chula Vista for a low price. Call us to help you with selling or buying in Chula Vista.
