Here's a quick summary of what we learned:

Inventory:

  Active Listings Sold Listings
August 2019 103 27
August 2018 156 33
12 month average 125.33 28.50

 

  • As inventory shrinks, demand for homes usually increases. This can help to raise prices and/or shorten the length of time homes are on the market.

 

Realtors use an analysis called Months of Inventory to evaluate the real estate market. The Months of Inventory is equal to how long it would take to sell the existing inventory if no new houses were put on the market.  When the Months of Inventory is below four months, realtors call it a seller's market because the supply is relatively low so sellers have a stronger position in negotiations between a buyer and a seller. When the Months of Inventory is above seven months, realtors call it a buyer's market because the supply is relatively high and buyers have a stronger position in negotiations. Months of Inventory between four and seven is considered a normal market with a good balance of buyers and sellers.

  Months of Inventory
August 2019 4.68
August 2018 4.73
12 month average 4.62

Rahway currently has 4.68 months of inventory available which means we are experiencing a seller's market. This means there are fewer homes available than there are buyers. Typically, this results in faster sales and higher sales prices.

Prices:

  Average List Price Average Sale Price
August 2019 $308,280 $298,628
August 2018 $275,756 $254,506
12 month average $291,774 $274,856

Consumer confidence helps increase prices. Rahway has had a slow but steady improvement in prices for several years.

Days on Market:

  Days on Market
August 2019 56

12 month average 52.67
