What are the key takeaways?
- As expected, more slow down. The number of homes on the market, down. Under contract, down. Time to sell? Longer. But again, as expected and not a surprise.
- Prices dropped, but that’s more a reflection of mix. Only 8 homes sold for $500k or more, so a drop from the previous month’s 15 and a further drop from two months ago when that number was 25. It doesn’t mean home values have truly dropped.
- New construction entered in MLS and sold was 26 homes. MOST new construction homes are not recorded in MLS. New construction accounts for 194 of the 746 homes listed in MLS and NOT under contract.
- Distressed (short sales and foreclosures) continued to be insignificant this month with 4 foreclosures and 0 short sales in the 243 sold homes. Currently the 746 homes for sale include 13 foreclosed homes and 2 short sales.
