Our team at CGP Real Estate Consulting breaks down the monthly housing stats provided by the Hampton Roads Real Estate Information Network. Here’s what we see:
There were 5,264 active residential listings in October on the Southside of Hampton Roads*. This is a 16.47% drop year over year and a 4.5% decrease from September 2019.
There were 1,856 homes sold in October, a 9% increase from last month and 13.7% increase year over year.
Median Sales Price for sold properties is $245,000 - an increase of .98% year-over-year in October.
The current monthly inventory is 3.1 months supply.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
Inventory keeps decreasing while the number of homes sold & median home prices increases. Aside from the time of year, these conditions can be attributed to low-interest rates and increased home buying demand.
Bonus Tip: It is shaping up to be a seller’s market in the Spring. If you are thinking of selling, it’s time to get that property ready to market!
