Here is a summary of the Cardiff real estate market for July 2019 based on information provided by the MLS (private sales are not included; data are believed to be accurate as of this writing but are not guaranteed). A total of 11 homes sold during July, 3 fewer than in June (down 21%).
Detached Homes Sold
10 (up 100%); Average of 30 Days on Market, Average Sales Price $1,330,350 (down 20%); Average sale was 95% of original asking price
Attached Homes (condos, town homes, twin homes) Sold
1 (down 89%); 23 Days on Market, Sales Price $1,145,000 (down 7%); Sale was 92% of original asking price
The overall volume of sales in Cardiff dropped from last month, another drop, but this was due to a large drop in attached sales coupled with a big jump in detached home sales. 45% of the transactions in July were for cash, compared to 29% last month. The average sales price for both detached and attached homes dropped in July.
Home buyers negotiated between 5 and 8% of the original asking price, on average; 1 buyer paid full price and one went over asking for their new home. The average time on market increased from last month for the detached single family homes.
At the end of July 2019 there were no homes in the Cardiff housing market with a Contingent status, like last month (i.e., some Contingent listings are short sale and REO homes that have accepted offers being reviewed by the lenders, but these days when they occur most tend to be first right of refusals where offers have been accepted that are contingent on the sale of a buyer’s home).
As of the end of July 2019 there were 41 Cardiff homes for sale, the same as in June; homes ranged in price from $615,000 to $6,495,000. This represents an inventory of 2.2 months for attached homes (up from 1.9 months last month), and 3.7 months for detached homes (down from 4.6 months last month) based on the rate of sales over the last 3 months. The Cardiff market remains a seller’s market, which is especially true for attached home buyers.
18 Cardiff listings came on the market in July, 10% fewer than in June. 13 homes went pending in July (not counting those that sold), up by 8% from last month.
