Although the real estate market is showing the effects of the economic slowdown due to the Coronavirus, it is surprisingly busier than expected. And despite the decline in inventory compared to this time last year, the ratio of properties that went under contract versus new listings held steady at 50% and the number of sales year-to-date are nearly identical.
March ended with 55± homes on the market. At the end of April, there were 53± homes for sale. There were 31 new listings, 16 of which went under contract. Additionally, 15 homes already on the market went under contract for a total of 31 (see below). There were 22 sales that closed in April at a median sales price of $835,000 with an average market time of 33 days.
Comparatively, at the end of April last year, there were 73± homes for sale, 43 homes that went under contract, and 37 closed sales at a median sales price of $893,000 with an average market time of 51 days.
Year-to-date, there have been 88 closed sales at a median sales price of $921,000. Compared to the same period last year, there were 87 closed sales at a median sales price of $855,000, essentially the same volume with a 7.7% increase in the median sales price.
