The number of homes sold in Cardiff in January dropped dramatically. Average sales prices also declined fairly significantly. But given the very small number of homes sold, it is unwise to draw any conclusions about trends, especially given pricing.
At the end of January 2011 there were 6 homes in the Cardiff real estate market with a Contingent status, 1 more 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 January 2011 there were 41 Cardiff homes for sale, 5% fewer than last month and the 5th month of inventory decline, thus making the inventory even more competitive in the Cardiff real estate market. This represents an inventory of only 4.5 months for attached homes (up from 4.1 months last month) and 3.4 months for detached homes (up from 3.2 months in December). One might now consider this a seller’s market for detached homes.
19 Cardiff homes came on the market in January, more than twice as many new listings as in December. 11 homes went pending in January as compared to 7 in December (up 57%), good news for Cardiff home sellers.
