2012 Year End Condo Report


             By now you have probably heard (perhaps multiple times) that the housing market recovery has begun.  However, there are still some great opportunities to take advantage of historically low interest rates and low prices.  Specifically, the Summit County Condo Market is an incredible opportunity right now!

            In 2011, 534 condos sold in Summit County with an average sales price of $339,791.  By comparison, 2012 saw 609 sales (14% increase) while the average sales price dropped 9% to $309,308.  In short prices are still very low but, with transactions on the rise prices are likely to go up in the foreseeable future.

            Currently there are still 549 active condo listings on the market with another 70 pending sale.  Please feel free to contact me anytime to discuss which of these properties is right for you.

Keeping an Eye on Keystone Real Estate


            As the ski season gets going more and more people are asking me “How’s the Keystone Real Estate Market doing?”  The short answer is that it seems to be improving but, let’s take a closer look.

            Let’s start with the bad news.  When comparing November of 2011 to November of 2012, Keystone saw the number of transactions rise 6% from 16 to 22 while the average sales price fell 9% from $364,116 to $329,768.  However, it is important to note that this is a fairly limited view of a small sample size.

            For a larger sample size (and some good news) let’s look at the first 11 months of 2011 compared to the first 11 months of 2012.  This year Keystone has seen 175 residential transactions which represents a 37% increase to the 128 last year.   Furthermore, the average sales price has risen 6% from $422,803 last year to $447,625 this year.

            Looking forward there are currently 226 active listings in Keystone which represents a little over a year worth of inventory.  Nearly half of these listings (123 specifically) are listed under $400,000 and 23 of them are listed over $1,000,000.  As always, please feel free to contact me anytime with questions.

Transactions Remain on the Rise


           As the snow begins to fly and we enter the 2012/13 ski season the Summit County Real Estate Market continues to improve.  This October saw 171 residential transactions representing a 37% gain compared to the 125 transactions in October of 2011!  However, the average sales price remained relatively flat rising .7% from $458,643 in October 2011 to $462,018 in October this year.

            When looking at 2012 compared to 2011 there has also been significant improvement.  Through the end of October this year, there were 1,047 residential transactions which is a 17% increase compared to the 895 transactions in the same time period last year.  However, the average sales price still remains relatively flat rising .7% to $462,018.

            Looking forward there are currently 1,168 properties listed for sale in Summit County.  If the numbers of transactions we are seeing continue through year end and there is not a large influx of new listings, this may become the smallest inventory we have seen in a long time.  As the supply of homes for sale decreases we can expect to start to see prices increase.  As always, please feel free to contact me anytime with questions.
