Beachwood N.J. real estate report

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Flanagan Realty

Beachwood - This is the real estate report for single-family homes in Beachwood for February 2010.

There are 12.15 months of inventory (months to sell present inventory at present sales rate), 98 active listings with an average list of $272,933 spending an average 119 days on the market.

Last month, there were 17 new listings carrying an average list price of $253,245. The number of new listings for February of last year was 18; however, the average list price was $349,983, indicating a drop in the pricings of new listings over the course of the past year.

Four homes are presently pending with a list value of $339,470 after 132 days on the market. This is in contrast to last February's six pending sales with an average list price of $261,316.

There were four sales this February, carrying an average list price of $224,400 and a final average sale price of $212,225 after spending 94 days on the market. Last February, there were seven sales with an average list of $253,971 and a final sales price of $227,857 after spending 97 days on the market.

Two homes are under contract with an average list price of $255,687, averaging 33 days on the market. Likewise, two homes were under contract for February of last year, but with an average list price of $336,500 after 109 days on the market.

Eight homes listed expired after an average of 299 days on the market and holding an average list price of $338,337. Eight homes listed also expired last February, after an average of 156 days on the market and holding an average list price of $295,700.

Judging the numbers, my opinion is that Beachwood's market is showing activity. However, due to the 12 months of inventory, the price of new listings has gone down considerably. Remember that expired listings are a good gauge of what the market will not pay for a home.
