Real Estate Market Trends

If you're like a lot of other consumers, trite slogans and marketing come- ons aren't convincing. Especially when it comes to the most expensive investment you may ever make; numbers are far pithier.


Think about it -- which of these is of more value to you: “Now is the best time to buy or sell a house!” or “Real Estate Market Report for Yourtown, Yourstate?”


Not only is this section of ActiveRain chock full of up-to-date real estate market reports but market statistics and market trends as well. Best of all, they're written in plain English by the experts – those that actually work in these markets on a daily basis.

#7 Best City to Live in Maryland - Ocean CityThis is the final installment in the list of the top 7 cities to live in Maryland that was published by The World Atlas. The list, in no way, reflects the views of the author. I think we all have opinions as to what the best cities are and also what should constitute a best city.  So, the number 7 best city to live in Maryland is Ocean City. Ocean City only has 6,800 full-time residents, but during the summer it hosts between 320,000 - 345,000 people each weekend and up to 8 million visitors annually. Ocean City has always been a destination, somewhere you take the family for a week during the summer, a destination for students graduating from high school (a right of passage, as it were). Ocean City attracts many people to its vast array of e...

Curious what is for sale in Montgomery County this week?   Happily, there is more inventory coming on the market - and lots of coming soon properties too!.           Here is a link to the homes on the market in Bethesda.   There are 28 homes coming on the market soon ranging from a two bedroom one bath condo at the Whitehall on Battery Lane listed for $249,500 to a new construction home on Hampden Lane in Edgemoor with five bedrooms and five baths listed for $7,800,000. The least expensive home on the market now in Bethesda is a one bedroom one bath coop at the Promenade on Pooks Hill listed for $192,000.  The most expensive home in Bethesda at the moment is the Glenbrook Estate, on Glenbrook Road, listed by Washington Fine Properties for $8,850,000.  It is a large brick home on 1.71 ac...

Good News for the Shenandoah Valley, VA Real Estate Market 1st Quarter Report 2024Good news for local real estate! The Shenandoah Valley, VA real estate market is showing positive numbers for the first quarter of 2024. The five different localities (Winchester City, Frederick, Clarke, Warren and Shenandoah Counties) have only three stats down of the 20 critical measures of a healthy market. Clarke County has two of those three. Warren County makes up the third down stat.The struggle the local markets have faced is low inventory and rising interest rates. Inventory fell in August 2017, and it has struggled to catch up every year since. Currently, over the five localities, there were 933 homes listed in the first quarter. That is an increase of 22% over the same period in 2023. The median...

This week the median list price for Chandler, AZ is $610,000 with the market action index hovering around 51. This is an increase over last month's market action index of 48. Inventory has decreased to 317. Home sales continue to outstrip supply and the Market Action Index has been moving higher for several weeks. This is a Seller’s market so watch for upward pricing pressure in the near future if the trend continues.  The market is hovering around this plateau. Look for a persistent change in the Market Action Index before we see prices deviate from these levels.   YOUR   Latest activity in the VALLEY of the SUNFor ALL your Valley AZ Real Estate NeedsPHONE   Bill   at   602-999-0952Text         Bill   at    602-999-0952Email      Bill    at     billAZElite@cox.net Read other YVP Blogs ...

Bend Home Prices Up And Inventory Levels Down Despite the trends for January and February 2024 in which prices seemed to stabilize, the sales price of Bend homes rose unexpectedly in March. The year over year figure shows both median and average Bend home prices were up over 12% and inventory levels were down. When coupled with the steep rise in prices, affordability remains a major problem for potential Bend home buyers. When March 2024 is compared with March 2023 for Bend single family homes on less than an acre, the following trends are noted: Average sales price up 12% to $893,967* Median sales price up 13.2% to $760,000 Average list price up 9.2% to $1,059,212 Median list price up .9% to $797,000 New listings down 13.8% to 175 Homes for sale down 15.2% to 240 Pending sales down 2.6...

Both New Listings and Pending Sales Moved Up, with New Listings taking a slight Lead.After the slow start at the first of the year, two key items show improvement: Active Listings caught up to last year's mark; and Pending Units came in 10.32% higher.The lower level of Sold Units is a reflection of how January and February were slower for sales than they were for the same two months one year ago.The next chart shows the 3-month rolling average Trend for Pending Home Sales in Vancouver. With the the trend-line catching up to 2023's line, and March actually exceeding it, perhaps we are now seeing the activity level coming up off the Low for this cycle:Next we show the 3-month rolling average trend for Closed Unit Sales for pre-existing homes in Vancouver WA:We see in the above 3-month tre...
