The stats of the Saint Paul real estate market continues to improve in some areas and not in others. For the month of January 2009 the bright spots were:

New listings were down 2.5% from January 2008. This reduction in new inventory helps existing homes on the market sell.
Saint Paul Homes closed were up 7.6% which shows good throughput of listings.
Total inventory of single family homes was down by a whopping 12.6%
Saint Paul Condo and Townhouse inventory was down by a staggering 27.3% from 2008.

For January 2009 in St. Paul, the areas that are still tough are:

Average sale prices on Saint Paul Homes was almost half of 2008 levels (down 46%).
Days on market (average) for all Saint Paul Real Estate rose by 15 days or 11%.

All in all, things seem to be picking up for the Saint Paul Real Estate market. Let’s hope that these trends continue through 2009.
