Moorestown Real Estate Market Update YTD 4/2008

By
Real Estate Agent with Prudential Fox & Roach

 

Here’s the Moorestown Real Estate market update for April 2008.  Pended units for the April were flat and Sold units were down 12 compared 2007; listed units were up 3 versus 2007.  This has led to a current inventory of 208 units.  Moorestown has been averaging 14 units sold per month which means there is currently 14 months worth of inventory in Moorestown.  There was 13 months worth of inventory at the time of my March report.  This trails the overall Burlington County market, which has 11 months worth of inventory. Year to date listed units are down 12 (a 6% decrease), pended units are down 32 (a 47.1% decrease) and sold units are down 51 (a 134.2% decrease).  See how this compares to the Burlington County Market.

Over the last 3 years the average number of units pended and sold in April was approximately 26 & 22 respectively.  This April, there were 20 pended and 14 sold.  These numbers indicate a market that is adding inventory faster than it can be absorbed.  If you see real estate as a long term investment, now is a great time to buy or “move-up” because the numbers are working in your favor.  

What does all this mean?  If you are thinking of buying or selling right now it’s important that you seek the advice of a full time professional realtor who can best advise you as to how to take advantage of this market. 

The chart below provides you with the 4/2007-4/2008 numbers for listed, pended and sold units.

I looks like some sellers are ready to bail out, instead of waiting it out. On the other hand, maybe they want to move up while property is cheap.
