Housing inventory jumps sharply in September

September 30, 2018 · by Andrew Oliver · in Essex County Housing News, Market Reports

The number of Single Family Homes (SFH) for sale in Essex County jumped 15% in September from a year ago, the fourth consecutive month of year-on-year increases, and reached the highest level since October 2016:

Essex County housing market

The number of condos for sale jumped 13% from a year ago, the fifth consecutive month of year-on-year increases, and reached the highest level since November 2016:

Comment

After several years of decline, inventory bottomed out in the first quarter of 2018 and has been increasing year-on-year for 4 months for SFHs and 5 months for condos. While actual levels remain well below those of 2015, it is clear that buyers are now seeing more options than they have in recent years.

Housing inventory: what a difference price makes

September 16, 2018 · by Andrew Oliver · in Beverly Housing Market, Lynn Housing Market, Marblehead News, Market Reports, Salem housing market, Swampscott Housing Market

Yesterday’s report Housing inventory: town by town guide showed that the overall supply of Single Family Homes (SFH) in Essex County was 2.8 months, whereas a market is regarded as being in equilibrium between buyers and sellers when there is 6 months of supply.

But as this report shows, an overall figure for supply can hide enormous variations at different price points. While it is natural that because there are fewer buyers at higher price points houses at these levels take longer to sell, this report quantifies the supply at different price levels in Marblehead, Swampscott, Salem, Beverly and Lynn.

Whether you are a buyer or a seller, it is important to understand the supply today at your price point. For further information, please contact your Sagan Harborside Sotheby’s International Realty agent.

Housing Inventory: town by town guide

September 15, 2018 · by Andrew Oliver · in Essex County Housing News, Market Reports

Last week’s report Housing inventory increases again pointed out that year-over-year inventory in the 34 cities and towns of Essex County had increased for the 3rd consecutive month (4th for condos), but also commented that inventory still remains very low overall.

As promised, here is a breakdown of the current supply of Single Family Homes (SFH) for each city and town, as measured by the number of months of sales represented by the number of houses for sale.

As a general guide, a market is regarded as being in equilibrium between buyers and sellers when there is 6 months of supply. Thus, while there has been – finally – some increase in supply, overall it remains clearly a strong sellers’ market, although there are signs that pricing power for sellers is not as strong as it was in the spring.
