Cardiff Real Estate Market Report for October 2010

Cardiff Homes for Sale - Real Estate Market Report for September 2010

As a buyer or seller in the Cardiff real estate market, having information about the current market conditions will enable you to make an informed decision regarding what to do with regard to buying a home in Cardiff, or selling your Cardiff home. 

The Cardiff real estate market is small and very localized, and knowing what is going on with regard to inventory and sales is important for making an informed buying or selling decision. Finding comparables for determining price for either a listing or a purchase can sometimes be tricky because of the limited inventory and the diversity of homes for sale.

The number of homes sold in Cardiff in October decline across the board as did the average sale price. Given the small number of homes, however, it is unwise to draw any firm conclusions about trends, especially given the prices of the homes that sold.

At the end of October 2010 there were 7 homes in the Cardiff real estate market with a Contingent status, the same as last month (i.e., short sale and REO homes that had offers being reviewed by the lenders). Until approved these homes are considered active and, thus, are included in the Active statistics below. 

As of October 2010 there were 69 Cardiff homes for sale, compared to 70 last month. This represents an inventory of 4.9 months for attached homes (up from 4.4 months in September) and 7.5 months for detached homes (no change from September). 

16 Cardiff homes came on the market in September, 33% more than in September, with 6 homes going pending during the same period, the same as the prior month.

Jeff- thank you for the market report.  This is great information for both buyers and sellers to help them determine a good time to buy or list their home.

Nevin - the Cardiff market seems to shift every month. The small number of sales really impacts the averages so folks need to work with someone who can give them the lowdown on that is going on.
