Real Estate Market Trends

If you're like a lot of other consumers, trite slogans and marketing come- ons aren't convincing. Especially when it comes to the most expensive investment you may ever make; numbers are far pithier.


Think about it -- which of these is of more value to you: “Now is the best time to buy or sell a house!” or “Real Estate Market Report for Yourtown, Yourstate?”

A Luxury Home can be identified differently in cities across the country, but in Denver, my Luxury blog posts will report on detached single-family homes listed in the Denver metro area for over $1.3 million.  (Over the years I have used $1 million as luxury, but with our rising home values, had the need to increase this amount.)  Some have mountain and/or city views, and some properties back to a golf course, or have water views all to compliment one's lifestyle.  (however, we don't have much water)  Some are updated with products from around the world, and some have expansive square footage or acreage.     Whatever a Buyer is looking for, most likely if you have over $1.3 million, you can find it in Denver or in the surrounding suburbs.     Here is how the luxury market fared for the ...

Market Report Zip Code 28104 | MAY 2023Matthews & Weddington share zip code 28104, and both continue to show strong performance in home sales even with increased days-on-the-market. There remains increased interest in the area. The history in Matthews runs deep, but most of the town’s 25,000+ residents have relocated to Matthews in the past decade, attracted by affordable homes in beautiful new subdivisions, strong schools, lower taxes and the historic, pedestrian-friendly downtown.  Some historic Matthews homes remain around the fringes of Matthews town center, however the Matthews area has seen tremendous growth with new subdivisions.  Homes for sale in Matthews range from transitional to historic colonial to craftsman style.

The Gloucester Township housing market in New Jersey experienced an interesting week from May 22 to May 28, 2023. Despite a decrease in the sold dollar volume compared to the previous year, the market has shown signs of strength and resilience. This report will delve into the statistics and trends that shaped the housing market during this period, highlighting key insights and developments.Decrease in Sold Dollar Volume: The sold dollar volume for the specified dates amounted to $4,348,050, a notable decrease from the previous year's figure of $8,260,500. This decline can be attributed to the lack of inventory available in the market. With fewer homes for sale, buyers faced limited options, leading to a decrease in overall sales activity.... read more by clicking this link:https://www.d...

Lakewood, CO Wed May 31 2023This week the median list price for Lakewood, CO is $749,900 with the market action index hovering around 73. This is less than last month's market action index of 76. Inventory has held steady at or around 89.  In the last few weeks the market has achieved a relative stasis point in terms of sales to inventory. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone so watch changes in the MAI. If the market heats up, prices are likely to resume an upward climb.

CHARLOTTE REGION APRIL 2023 REAL ESTATE REPORTWHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW...WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU... April 2023 home sales declined in the 16-County Charlotte Region year-over-year for a 16th consecutive month. Pending sales were also down year-over-year for a 16th consecutive month. Sales are happening, but not at the volumes experienced in 2021 and the first half of 2022.  Higher home prices coupled with increasing interest rates have impacted affordability and continue to cool buyer demand. The market in 2021 was clearly an anomaly and we now see that year-over-year sales declines from 2022 appear significant. Sales are still occurring... just not at the pace of the last couple of years. By the same token, the housing market continues to experience steady activity with high buyer interest ...

Yes! I take requests.  Thanks to Miss D, we are going to look at the housing market under 2000 sq ft. in a not over 55 area. As of today according to CMRMLS .com there are 58 homes available to purchase. The smallest is  948, the median is  1,579, the average is 1,626.SIDEBAR, tell me in the comments if you prefer median or average please.   I personally am an average person, but I do recognize the validity of using the median. The house that has the largest asking price is  $650,000.  It's very cute, updated with a pool, multiple barns on 5 acres. The least expensive is on the market at $129,950 .  It's a 2/1, 1020 sq ft and it's a fixer. It  most likely won't qualify for financing.The average homes is listed at just over $400K, just over $257 a sq ft. and has been on the market for 55...

What now??!I was reading the Conference Board's latest update as I wrote my June DC real estate market report, my spirits sinking lower with each paragraph, until.... June 2023 DC Real Estate Market Update The end of May is usually the time when DC real estate prices are jumping with each sale, bidding wars are the norm, and market activity is at its frenzied annual peak,. But this year, the outlook for late spring is about as sunny as yesterday’s weather. Last week, mortgage interest rates rose to near 7% again, slamming the door shut on home purchases for many buyers. Potential home sellers are aware that prices are softer than usual, even falling for some neighborhoods and home types, so they're holding back until the market improves, contributing to lower inventory vexing willing an...

In our updates we like to show brief graphics that help us understand the trends; where we've been, and the direction we are currently going. The first graph shows the 3-month rolling average of Pending Sales for existing homes in Vancouver WA:When reviewing the above year-by-year trend-lines, remember that most of 2020, all of 2021 and part of 2022 received an Overly amount of financial stimulation from the Federal Reserve. Clearly the first four months of 2023 are far below the sales activity we've seen in each of the previous five years.Our next chart goes back to the year 2009, and shows both the 3-month and 12-month rolling average trend for CLOSED Unit Sales:This longer-term chart is showing what has actually Closed (not all Pending sales actually close).

Today’s Real Estate Market: The ‘Unicorns’ Have Galloped OffComparing real estate metrics from one year to another can be challenging in a normal housing market. That’s due to possible variability in the market making the comparison less meaningful or accurate. Unpredictable events can have a significant impact on the circumstances and outcomes being compared. Comparing this year’s numbers to the two ‘unicorn’ years we just experienced is almost worthless. By ‘unicorn,’ this is the less common definition of the word: “Something that is greatly desired but difficult or impossible to find.” The pandemic profoundly changed real estate over the last few years. The demand for a home of our own skyrocketed, and people needed a home office and a big backyard.  Waves of first-time and second-ho...
