  • At the end of November, the YTD average sale price of a single family home was $443,122 down 4.2% from the full year 2011. The median sale price was $409K, up 0.8% from 2011.

Commentary:
Sales this year have been significantly ahead of 2011's 'under'-performance. The average sales prices have, however, lagged behind 2011 by about 4.2% while the median (a better measure) sales prices are essentially flat (plus 0.8%).  I expect December sales to be about the same as November's, which will not change the year very much.
Inventory levels are seasonally down (see chart above), with mid-December at the same level as mid-November and at 2012's lowest levels. We continue to be in a Buyer's market. 

 


Looking Forward - 2012 Year-End Preview

I expect that the full year will close out 30-35% ahead of 2011's levels in terms of sales volume. Average and median prices will (I predict) show 2012 levels to be flat, compared to 2011.  As for 2013, I am personally bullish on both sales and prices. With the interest rates continuing in the 3%-4% levels, the economy continuing to recover (let's hope!), and with some pent-up demand from recent years, the marketplace might just return to pre-2005 levels. We made great progress in 2012, but the onset of new taxes (a sure thing - ugh!) may dampen demand, hopefully to be overpowered by economic optimism. Here's hoping!
