February 2012 Market Report ~ Manchester CT

 

Homes for Sale in Manchester CT

 

During February 2012, there were 18 closed sales in Manchester CT with a median price of $151,750; the average price was $147,883.

 

The lowest priced home was a two-bedroom, one-bath, 696 sq. ft. ranch which sold for $58,500. The highest-priced home was a three-bedroom, 2.1 bath colonial with 2172 sq. ft. which sold for $255,000.  The median list price/sale price ratio was 96.1%.

 

When we compare February 2012 to February 2011, we see that while the closed sales increased this year (18 in 2012 vs. 10 in 2011), the median price and average price were down significantly. The median price in February 2011 was $189,000 and the average price was $223,190. 

 

February's statistics were also down in both closed sales and median price from January 2012, which posted 20 closed sales, a median price of $172,500, and an average price of $186,441.  The median list price/sale price ratio was 96.8%.

 

On the plus side, however, there are currently 55 homes under deposit so we should expect that March will show some gains in the number of closed sales.  In addition, there are 39 homes under contract.

Peggy, thinking positively, you have many under contract, which hopefully will increase pricing and help your housing!      Hope you have many of those homes U/C!

Peggy, it looks like Manchester, CT is solidly working it's way to a positive housing market.  I echo Joan's comment that the under contract homes may see March being a start of an uptick in the trend! It really helps to have an agent that understands how to interpret the stats - thank you, Peggy, for doing just that!

Peggy I am surprised that sales are down from January, because I was busier in February than January.

That 696 sq ft house must have been fun to find comps for :)
