2016 generated a greater total sales volume from a lower number of transactions than 2015. In fact in 2016, the total number of sales was down 8% from the year before in 2015. During 2016 there were 318 sales of single family homes. In 2015 there were 345. In 2014 there were 334.
Average Days on Market
The average time properties spend on the market is an important indicator of how the overall market is performing. This data is used to calculate the months of supply, one of the most important market statistics used when evaluating a particular real estate market. [Click here for more on Months of Supply] Last year the average days a single family home spent on the market was noticeably longer than the prior two years. In 2016 the average days on market was 107 days. That was a 34% increase from the average 80 days it took to sell a home in 2015.
The longer time on the market did not affect the average sale price to list price ratio when compared to 2015. In 2016 the average sale price to original list price ratio was 94%. This means that sellers, on average, got 94% of the original list price. In 2015 that number was 93%.
This does not mean that the days on market did not have any affect on sales prices. Homes that were on the market less than 50 days sold on average for 97% of their original asking price, or within 3% of their original list price. Houses on the market between 50 and 100 days sold for an average of 95% of their original asking price. Houses on the market for over 100 days sold for, on average, 90% of their asking price. A WHOLE 10% less than the original list price. [Subscribe to this blog for the upcoming article about the importance of “pricing it right”].
