Here’s a summary of the Cardiff real estate market for August 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 16 total sales in August, up by 1 from July.
Detached Homes Sold
9 (down 1 from last month); Average of 25 Days on Market; Average Sales Price was $1,781,175 (no change); Average sale price was 100% of the original asking price (6 sold at or above asking).
Attached Homes (condos, town homes, twin homes) Sold
7 (up 40%); Average of 14 Days on Market, Average Sales Price was $1,432,857 (up 100%); Average sale price was 99% of original asking price.
The overall volume of sales in Cardiff shifted up overall from last month, with 2 more attached homes selling but 1 less detached sale, for a net gain of 1. Average marketing time was less than 1 month but 9 homes sold in 5 days or less – buyers clearly made quick decisions and offers! The average sales price did not shift for detached homes, but rose significantly for attached, with 6 of the 7 homes selling for over $1.3M which raised the average substantially.
At the end of August 2020 there were no homes in the Cardiff housing market with a Contingent status, the same as 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 these days they are first right of refusals).
At the end of August there were 39 Cardiff homes for sale, 2 less than last month. These listings range in price from $685,000 to $6,950,000. There are 1.9 months of inventory for attached homes (down from 2.6 months last month), and 3.1 months for detached homes (down from 4.4 months last month), based on the rate of sales over the last 3 months.
The Cardiff market favors sellers for both detached and attached homes, and became more competitive in August.
20 Cardiff listings came on the market in August, compared to 27 in July. 13 homes went pending in August (not counting the homes that sold), compared to 18 in July, so another relatively busy month.
