Not sure if we are seeing something here but the inventory has dropped for the second week in a row. It hasn’t dropped by much, but any drop is news.
In addition, the pendings, and closed sales are up. I would say that we may be seeing a trend. But we need a few more weeks to be sure.
| Average Price | DOM | ||
| New | 51 | $251,863 | |
| Total Active | 851 | $305,987 | 103 |
| Pending | 50 | $220,365 | 87 |
| Closed | 32 | $193,006 | 63 |
Notice that the average price for this week in closed sales is below $200K. That is because 23 of the 32 houses that closed this week were less than $200,000. Compare that with the fact that about 75% of the homes on the market are over $200,000 and you can see why the higher price homes take longer to sell. You have 75% of the sellers competing for 33% of the buyers. Boy…that is a rotten paragraph…you need to be a bean counter to even understand it.
We have personally been VERY busy. Many of our listings have pended in the last couple weeks, some that have been on the market for a year. Now we are ready for some new listings.
