Cardiff Real Estate Market Report for August 2011

Cardiff Homes for Sale - Homes for Sale in Cardiff

As a buyer or seller in the Cardiff real estate market, having information about the current market conditions will enable you to make an informed decision regarding what to do with regard to buying a home in Cardiff, or selling your Cardiff home. 

The Cardiff real estate market is small and very localized, and knowing what is going on with regard to inventory and sales is important for making an informed buying or selling decision. Finding comparables for determining price for either a listing or a purchase can sometimes be tricky because of the limited inventory and the diversity of homes for sale.

The number of homes sold in Cardiff in August declined from last month. Average sales prices rose slightly for detached homes and also overall. Days on market dropped dramatically across the board. Given the very small number of homes sold, especially for attached homes, however, it is unwise to draw any conclusions about trends, especially given pricing.

At the end of August 2011 there were 6 homes in the Cardiff real estate market with a Contingent status, 2 less than last month (i.e., short sale and REO homes that had offers being reviewed by the lenders). Until approved these homes are considered active and are included in the Active statistics below. 

As of August 2011 there were 76 Cardiff homes for sale, 2 fewer than last month, thus inventory has remained fairly stable in the Cardiff real estate market for several months. This represents an inventory of only 6.5 months for attached homes (up from 4.3 last month) and 5.9 months for detached homes (up from 5.6 months in July). 

25 Cardiff homes came on the market in August, up 47% over last month. 14 homes went pending as compared to 8 in July, up by 75%.

Hi Jeff, Another great report but the stats are all telling. I think August through out is showing  that the bulk of the potential buyers are still holding back from taking advantage of the low market interest rates. Sure hope September begins to show an increase in sales.

Jeff,

Cardiff sounds like an interesting market subject to wide swings in inventory, at least at the moment.

Wishing you continued success by the sea,

Steve
