The number of homes sold in Cardiff in March doubled over February sales. Two of the detached homes were short sales; of the attached homes 2 were bank-owned and 1 was a short sale. Given the very small number of homes sold, however, it is unwise to draw any conclusions about trends, especially given pricing.
At the end of March 2011 there were 7 homes in the Cardiff real estate market with a Contingent status, 1 more than 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 are included in the Active statistics below.
As of March 2011 there were 72 Cardiff homes for sale, compared to 56 last month (up 29%). This represents an inventory of only 5.7 months for attached homes (up from 4.3 months in February) and 13 months for detached homes (up from 12.2 months in February).
25 Cardiff homes came on the market in March, 6 more than last month. 10 homes went pending as compared to 13 in February.
