Time to Buy? Sell?
Looking strictly at the numbers, it appears the recommendation for this month is – it’s time to buy. With just under 5 months of inventory we are technically in a sellers market, though signs are pointing towards some give for buyers. Median price is down 10% and there was a 3.3% decrease in average list price to sales price so sellers are negotiating more to make a sale. Sellers have pulled back on their confidence with getting their properties listed and we saw an 18% decrease in new multi family property listings. That caused time to sell to go down by 26%. We did also see a 157% increase in new pending listings, so buyers were active this month in snatching up the properties they saw as a value. As we head into the busier season, buyers who bought now are probably going to be able to say they got a better deal than they would have if they had waited. If you’re looking to buy a multi family property, strike now while sellers are still willing to negotiate more.
