The overall volume of sales in Cardiff dropped dramatically from last month for both detached and attached homes. None of the transactions in September were for cash, which is unusual, compared to 19% last month. 1 twin home sold for asking and 1 sold for over asking; all the detached homes sold under list price. The days on market increased for detached homes, but dropped substantially for the attached homes.
At the end of September 2018 there was 1 home in the Cardiff housing market with a Contingent status (i.e., for the most part these are short sale and REO homes that have accepted offers being reviewed by the lenders), the same home for the last 2 months. This home is actually contingent on the sale of buyer’s home, with a first right of refusal.
As of the end of September 2018 there were 31 Cardiff homes for sale, down 21% from last month. This represents an inventory of 1.9 months for attached homes (up from 1.8 months last month), and 3.6 months for detached homes (down from 4.2 months last month) based on the rate of sales over the last 3 months. The Cardiff market remains a strong seller’s market for buyers of attached homes, and is a seller’s market for detached homes.
Only 8 Cardiff listings came on the market in September, compared to 20 last month. 13 homes went pending in September (not counting those that sold) compared to 6 in August.
