This is a Real Estate Market Recap of Somerset, NJ; June 2012

 

Closed Sales

71 new happy homeowners in Somerset since April 1st 2012: 47 home sales and 24 townhouse/duplex sales.

 

129 homes are under contract in Somerset: 70 homes and 59 townhouse/duplexes.

 

There were 181 new listings here in town since April 1st 2012 (113 homes and 68 townhouses). All of this information is important to include in the Real Estate Market Recap of Somerset. I feel that the recent lower home prices and the lower mortgage interest rates can make it a great time to buy a house.

Absorption Rates

Absorption rates tell you how many months the available homes for sale in an area will take to sell (if no new homes are listed.) The number shows the rate at which the inventories of homes are being absorbed (sold). As the rate rises or falls it shows you if the current home inventory in Hillsborough is shrinking or growing.

 

There are currently 429 active listings in Somerset and there were 48 sales in the last month which is a market absorption rate of 8.93 months. Inventory levels above 5 or 6 months indicate a clear buyer's market. When Somerset absorption rates are that high, I like to break it down and look at price point or type of housing:

 

Homes priced under $300,000: 239 listings available, 33 sold last 30 days = inventory of 7.2 months

 

Homes priced under $400,000: 81 listings available, 6 sold last 30 days = inventory of 13.5 months

 

Homes starting at $400,000: 109 listings available, 9 sold last 30 days = inventory of 12.1 months

 

 

I also split the inventory up as style of home:

 

Homes: 278 listings available, 23 sold last 30 days = inventory of 12 months

 

Townhouses/Duplexes: 151 listings available, 25 sold last 30 days = inventory of 6 months

Remember inventory levels do not predict how long it will take to sell a given house. I feel that they help us determine how much activity there is in a given market at a given price point and allow us to plan accordingly when marketing a home for sale.
