Here’s a summary of the Cardiff real estate market for July 2020 based on data provided by the MLS (private sales are not included; data are believed to be accurate as of this writing but are not guaranteed). There were 15 total sales in July, up 50% from June.
Detached Homes Sold
10 (up 43% from last month); Average of 26 Days on Market; Average Sales Price was $1,749,499 (up 15%); Average sale price was 104% of the original asking price.
Attached Homes (condos, town homes, twin homes) Sold
5 (up 67%); Average of 26 Days on Market, Average Sales Price was $716,999 (up 5%); Average sale price was 97% of original asking price.
The overall volume of sales in Cardiff shifted up significantly from last month, with more detached as well as attached home sales, although the overall volume is relatively small. Average marketing time was less than 1 month but ranged from 0 days (2 homes sold before processing) to 67 days. Buyers negotiated some of their purchases, but 1 home (an auction) sold at 175% of the asking price; 40% of the buyers paid asking price or more for their new homes, and 40% of the transactions were for cash.
At the end of July 2020 there were no homes in the Cardiff housing market with a Contingent status, versus 1 last month (i.e., some Contingent listings are short sale and REO homes with accepted offers being reviewed by the lenders, but often when they occur they are first right of refusals).
At the end of July there were 41 Cardiff homes for sale, just 1 less than last month. These listings range in price from $998,000 to $6,950,000. There are 2.6 months of inventory for attached homes (down from 4.2 months last month), and 4.4 months for detached homes (down from 8 months last month), based on the rate of sales over the last 3 months.
The Cardiff market favors sellers for attached homes, and has shifted from a buyer’s market back to a seller’s market for detached homes.
27 Cardiff listings came on the market in July, compared to 25 in June. 18 homes went pending in July (not counting the homes that sold), compared to 13 in June, so it was another relatively busy month.
