Looking at the sales figures for 2011, the number of homes sold increased by about 8% in Orcutt. However, the average sales price went down 10% which is a considerable decline. Days on market increased to 103, so it took longer to sell a home in 2011. However, that figure is probably affected by the increase in short sale listings which stay on market while bank approval is obtained. Short sales increased by 28% in the Orcutt area. Foreclosures also increased but not as drastically -- they increased about 7%. Overall, the appetite for homes in the Orcutt is strong, but distress sales comprise 57% of the homes sold and that continues to put downward pressure on pricing.
