Same old story again: the number of homes sold is down pretty significantly over last year with the average sales price up ever so slightly. The number of homes sold is off 21% compared to last year; however this is actually an improvement over the last several months. In addition, the absorption rate or the number of month’s supply of homes is trending slightly downwards. The days on the market is up 7 days, taking 11% longer to sell a home this year than last. However, 70 days to sell a home in this market is still quite good considering the real estate market in general.

Despite a decrease in sales activity, Carmel real estate is able to hold onto its value and therefore remains a great place to purchase a home.
