Hey everyone,
This month, I wanted to shake things up a bit with our market update. Instead of the usual data-heavy report, I decided to experiment with visuals to tell the story of February's real estate stats. So, bear with me if the video quality isn't perfect - we're on a learning curve here!
Sales Performance: February was a standout month with nearly 2,000 sales, representing a staggering 52.6% increase from the previous year. Single-family homes stole the spotlight with a remarkable 60.5% surge in sales. The average sale price for single-family homes hit $508,411, marking a significant 10.7% year-over-year increase, the largest jump since 2007.
New Listings: New listings also saw a notable uptick of 99.3%. However, with sales outpacing new listings (up 50% compared to a 10% increase in new listings), we're witnessing intriguing shifts in supply and demand dynamics.
Condo Market: Condo sales followed suit with a 46.7% increase, yet the average sale price dipped by 3.2%. This discrepancy is due to lower-end condos driving down the average sale price. Nevertheless, condos under $300,000 are still experiencing genuine value increases.
Duplexes and Row Houses: Duplexes and row houses are holding steady with a 50% increase in sales and a staggering 99.7% surge in the average sale price, reaching $275,000. Certain segments of the market are undeniably thriving.
Inventory Trends: Inventory levels are trending downward, defying typical seasonal patterns. At 2.44 months, this is the lowest inventory level since 2007, indicating a strong seller's market. If this trend continues, we can anticipate further price increases.
Opportunities for Buyers: Despite the competitive market, opportunities for buyers still exist. Looking ahead, this trend seems poised to continue for the foreseeable future, making it an exciting time in real estate.
