SALES
October sales show a slight slowdown which is not unusual for this time of year as we move into fall and get closer to the holiday season. Avalon had 8 properties go under contract in October and Stone Harbor had 5. Most of these were properties that were priced well, received multiple showings over the course of the summer and in some cases received multiple offers. There were 6 priced under $1 million and 7 priced between $1,000,000 – $1.8 million. Our 3rd quarter stats indicate that compared to years 2009 and 2010, while we have seen a slight decrease in the number of overall sales, the average selling price has increased by about $120,000 for single family homes and by about $200,000 for condo/townhouses. The townhouse market has gained ground, for 2011, each quarter has shown an increase in sale price over the previous quarter. The new units sell quicker and at an obviously higher price than the older units. Also, we’ve seen a dip in the days on market for sale property across the board. This is due to the stabilization of the market and Seller’s understanding that their property must be priced aggressively to get showings and offers.

Total inventory has dropped to 572, which is in line with last month. This
reflects an overall depletion of sale property in the lower end (under $1
million) which we have been following over the past 2 years. This is not
a bad sign; usually we see an uptick in inventory levels after the Labor Day
Weekend. I will continue to monitor inventory levels.
