Newcastle 2010 Market Report

By
Real Estate Agent with Choice One Realty/Better Properties RE

As a local community member within Newcastle and professional Real Estate Broker, I enjoy keeping an eye on the market here. It not only helps me in my profession but helps keep my community members aware of our current market conditions. Below is a quick report for the year ending in 2010. Data source via the Northwest Multiple Listing Service.

Above is a graph showing 2009 and 2010 monthly avg home sale price for the city of Newcastle. As the economy refuses to improve, unemployment still high and buyers few, Newcastle's yearly avg. sales price of single family homes continued to drop since their highest in 2007. Overall the market stills shows a downward trend, however lower sales prices seem to be falling less drastically when considering between 2009 and 2010. Below are Newcastle's yearly average sales price for single family homes since 2006.

2006:  $798,907. 234 units

2007:  $882,796. 181 units

2008:  $787,132. 116 units

2009:  $678,780. 129 units

2010:  $652,214. 123 units

However, condo values dropped more signficantly since the high point in 2008. Below are Newcastle's yearly average sales price for condos since 2006.

2006:  $255,318. 69 units

2007:  $278,999. 41 units

2008:  $307,720. 32 units

2009:  $270,042. 12 units

2010:  $242,512. 20 units

Hey Frank,

It defiantly is mixed at times. Part of the reason is Newcastle is relatively small and that we do have some neighborhoods where pricing/values get very high. What tends to happen is we get monthly sales where for instance we only have 2 or 3 homes sold around the yearly avg. and then 3 or 5 well above, causing the monthly avg. to jump considerably. This is one of the reasons I think it's important for buyers and sellers to locate a local agent who keeps an eye on the ever changing market, especially in a neighborhood/city that has these variable conditions.

Thank you for the comment and hope all is well for you!
