The New Jersey Skinny - Report for August, 2015
Supply and Demand
Last months numbers are a lesson in simple economics.  Overall, supply was down with fewer listings on the market.  However, the number of pending sales and closings was up slightly.  This combination is a forecast for rising home prices.
The sales data did bear this result, with prices creeping up, a higher list-to-sales-price ratio, and a decrease in the absorption rate.

Report for May, 2015
Pending Sales Up!
As we move into the second quarter of 2015, the real estate market in New Jersey is fully entrenched in the spring market.  Pending sales are up year-over-year, while the available inventory has lagged a bit behind.  What does this mean?  Simple supply and demand dictates that this will put upward pressure on prices.  This is, indeed, the case, with the median home price up 4.2% over 2014.

new jersey skinny: The New Jersey Skinny 1st Quarter, 2015 - Inventory Needed! - 04/23/15 12:46 AM

The New Jersey Skinny
1st Quarter, 2015
Inventory Needed!
Predictions for 2015 have a mixed bag after the first quarter.  While pending sales were up, indicating more activity in the market, there is still a lack of inventory in many markets.
This need for listings means that there is less for the Buyer pool to choose from, which puts upward pressure on prices.  This is shown by the increase in the list price to sales price ratio.

Excitement in the Air
Although the real estate market for the state of New Jersey started slowly, the combination of low interest rates, new sales, new inventory, and new construction spell excitement!  
Forecasts for 2015 continue to indicate that while Buyers will be out in force, taking advantage of historically low interest rates "while the getting is good," inventory rates will keep up with demand.  Prices will rise (while not at the crazy rates of the early 2000's), and the market will feel "healthy."
