Time to Buy? Sell?
Looking strictly at the numbers, it appears the recommendation for this month is – it’s time to buy. With just over 6 months of inventory we are in a balanced market. If you’ve been reading our reports you know we have been in a buyer’s market for months. Though we are not quite at a buyer’s market now, we are near enough to one for buyer’s to see the benefits. Though median price is up 9%, it might be more of a factor of what multi family properties sold this month than an overall trend int eh market. With only 17 properties to calculate the data, it’s not super significant. If you look at price per square foot, we did see that come down 9%. Again, not a reliable predictor of pricing with only 17 sales, but still an indicator that buyers today are paying a bit less. Inventory is up 31% so buyers do have more choices. However, the market is also showing strong signs for sellers with a 25% increase in number of new pending listings. It will be interesting to see what next month brings.
