What does this mean if you are a seller?
The forecast for February was for an increase in inventory thus moving toward a balanced market (where inventory reaches 3 months) However a strong sales month actually drove down months of inventory from January’s 2.5 months to February’s 1.95 months (a 22% decrease). Since we have moved back into a strong sellers market, Homes priced correctly, sellers can expect to sell in less than the average of 57 days on market we saw in February. Buyers are not going to overpay, but houses priced correctly and in good condition will sell, often with multiple offers. For February, we saw the list to contract price of 97.5% up by .1% from January. We also saw the median price drop by .9% from January to $322,000.
What does this mean if you are a buyer?
For buyers, a inventory of 1.95 months (compared to 2.50 months in January) is not welcome news since this indicates we moved back into a strong sellers market. Sellers continue to have a advantage since there are less homes available. Anything under 3 months of inventory is considered a seller’s market. So those homes that are priced right may get multiple offers. The buyer has to remain diligent about their offers. If you are serious about an offer, have your agent provide you comparable properties to determine the best price for the house. Asking for seller concessions and making a low ball offer is not a good strategy in this seller’s market. The forcaster’s are predicting an increase in inventory, so if you are going to make an offer have your agent look at what happening in March to see what the inventory is doing real time. Also looking at the market by zip code also can help develop your best strategy.
