Shelton CT Condo Market Report for December 2010

(Yes, I know I am late in posting this month.  Sorry.)

Condo sales in Shelton (Huntington), CT for December 2010 showed a decrease in sales compared to the same period last year.  But let's try to put it into perspective. 

There were increased residual sales at the end of December 2009 due to the extension of the homebuyer tax credit, which was extended to April, 2009  and then to June, so the numbers were inflated. 

Take a look at the other numbers for some better news.  

Average list price and average selling price showed a 16% and 19% INCREASE respectively.  The median sales figure came in 25% HIGHER than last year.

After the artificial spike in June sales due to the homebuyer tax credit, condo sales rebounded a bit in September and have been relatively flat the last four months.

If you do decide to sell, your listing agent must calculate the absorption rate for your price range.  This will help you to determine if you need to adjust your pricing OR if you have not listed yet, determine the best price.

Moving forward, there are 3 units with deposits and 16 units under contract. (as of 1/6/2011)

Barbara, I agree with Victoria, you did an excellent job on the Market Report.  That is a huge decrease in the number of units sold from 2009 to 2010.

Victorie -- Thanks for stopping by! I will definitely let you know!

Hi George! -- Thanks. Yes, if you look at the numbers YTD you can see that sales are fairly consistent with a little bounce in 2010 except for April (homebuyers credit contract date expiration) There was an artificial boost by the credit late last year.  It is all about the numbers and the analysis of numbers, isn't it!

Anthony -- These market reports started out smaller and have grown. This is slightly less than usual because I was so late. I had all the numbers...it just got stuck in my Drafts folder!  Thanks for stopping by.
