The market bounced back from the little breather it took during the month of June. Sales volume in July was up 13.28% over last month, climbing up to 145 transactions from the 128 transactions posted in June, erasing just a bit more than half of the sales volume drop that occured from May to June. Also worth noting is that sales volume was up 21.85% when compared to July 2011. This, seemingly, is a pretty healthy sign for the local real estate market, seeing that July is well within the traditional summer vacation season and people are generally a bit more focused on summer fun and festivities than they are about housing. While the median sale price dipped 5.38% to $204,850. we saw a spike in the mean sale price in June, up 30.13% to $331,392. Taking a closer look at the sales, we note one $10,000,000. + pending sale, comprised of the 50 acre ocean front Truesdale Farm property on Brayton Pt. Rd. in the town of Westport. These sales statistics cover the towns of Dartmouth, Fall River, Little Compton, RI, Somerset, Swansea, Tiverton, RI, and Westport.

After experiencing an exceptionally good local real estate market during the month of February we are now happy to report of activity levels not seen for some time that were posted during the month of March. This is welcomed activity, that's for sure, and hints of the growing confidence by local market participants. To recap the year so far, in January 2012 we logged 101 new pending sales coming together in our local market service area. That represented a 12.17% decrease in overall sales volume, month-to-month, from the 115 new pending sales realized the month prior. However, in February we gained back that loss, and then some, posting 122 new pending sales, representing a 20.79% increase in sales volume. In March, the local real estate market posted 172 new pending sales for a 48.98% increase in sales volume, month-to-month.

Additionally the mean sale price rose by 4.86% for the month tallied at $201,003.

Despite being the shortest month of the year, even during a leap year, Februrary experienced an abnormally high level of market activity. The market in February rebounded, with solid numbers, from the dip in activity we saw in January and posted gains in sales volume as well as in pricing categories.

After the surprising spike in activity recorded during the month of December, it would seem we bounced right back into a more settled residential real estate market for the month of January. In October and November we saw a two month, typical holiday season trend, where sales volume settle down for 2 consecutive months in a row. This coming right after we experienced the highest monthly sales volume for the calendar year of 2011 during the month of September. As previosuly reported, in December we climbed right back up to 115 new pending sales, gaining back nearly half of the drop posted month to month from October to November. The January 2012 numbers posted drops in both volume and pricing. In January 2012 we saw 101 new pending sales come together in our local market area. That represents a 12.17% decrease in sales volume, month-to-month, from the 115 new pending sales realized the month prior. However, this number seems to be well within a fairly typical range for the month of January when we compare it to the 98 pending sales posted in January 2011 and the 102 pending sales recorded in January 2010. In the pricing categories, we saw that both median and mean selling prices posted significant drops. When compared to December 2011, the month of January 2012 experienced a 10.48% decrease in the median sale price recorded at $170,000 and a 12.86% decrease in the mean sale price that was tallied at $191,694.

The month of December broke the recent trend of the past two months as we experienced an unexpected, yet welcomed, spike in volume of total number of residential sales in our local market area. I'm certain that the historically low mortgage interest rates are helping to spur this activity and I suspect that the milder than usual weather conditions helped keep home buyers in the shopping mode. In November we saw our sales volume settle down for the 2nd straight month in a row after having experienced the highest monthly sales volume for the calendar year in the month of September. As previosuly reported, the total sales volume in both October and November settled down, in fairly typical fashion during the pre-holiday season, dropping to 138 and 103 new pending sales recorded, respectively. In December, however, we climbed right back up to 115 new pending sales, gaining back nearly half of the drop posted month to month from October to November. Although pending residential sales volume posted gains, median and mean selling prices posted declines in both categories, continuing the roller coaster trend of prices rising and falling month to month throughout most all of the 2011 calendar year. For the month of December 2011 we experienced a 4.69% decrease in the median sale price recorded at $189,900 and a 3.49% decrease in the mean sale price that was tallied at $219,991.

October, typically, is our transition month in the local market area where the real estate activity begins to cool off and peoples' attentions become more focused on preparations for the upcoming holiday season and preparing their homes for the colder winter months. This year is no different in this regard. After experiencing consecutive months in positive trending in sales volume growth, October's numbers reveal the beginning of that seasonal decline in activity. After September posted the highest monthly sales volume for the calendar year, 2011 with new pending sales notched at 159 properties, October settles back at a more typical monthly sales volume with 138 new residential properties going under agreement. That represents a 13.208% decrease in total sales volume, month to month. Additionally, pending sales data for the month of October 2011 indicated a 0.705% increase in the median sale price recorded at $199,900. yet a 4.019% decrease in the mean sale price that was tallied at $237,780.

We thought it was good news when we reported August as the top producing month for the year so far, but we now see that September gains that title by just barely outpacing August in total sales volume. The total sales volume in our local market area continued to show strength after we saw 156 properties go under agreement in August. September posted just slightly more new pending sales as 159 new residential properties went under agreement during the month. This edges out the month of August by a mere 3 properties to claim the title as top producing month of the calendar year 2011, (so far), and the second consecutive month of growth to report in sales volume. In a quick recap of the last four months in our local market area we had seen June as the top producing month with 154 properties, then a drastic drop off in July at 119 properties, rebounding back to 156 properties in August and now we've posted a new high for the year at 159 properties in September. Three out of the last four months showing a very respectable strength in total sale volume is certainly good news. Although its not the only reason for the increase in sales volume, historically low mortgage interest rates appear to continue to motivate some folks to buy now. Work loads for local real estate appraisers has also continued at a fever pitch with people refinancing and taking advantage of the lower mortgage rates. The volume of pending sales statistics cover the towns of Dartmouth, Fall River, Little Compton, RI, Somerset, Swansea, Tiverton, RI, and Westport. They reveal an increased volume of monthly activity for residential properties that went under agreement from 09/01/2011 through to 09/30/2011 in our local market area serviced by the H3MLS-Property Information Network. The total sales volume in September represented a 1.923% increase over the 156 properties that went under agreement during the month of August. Additionally, pending sales data for the month of September 2011 indicated a 9.319% decrease in the median sale price recorded at $198,500. yet a 2.126% increase in the mean sale price that was tallied at $247,736.

August proves to be the top producing month for the year so far, despite the down time imposed by concerns over, and power outages from, Hurricane, (tropical storm), Irene. The total sales volume in our local market area bounced right back in grand fashion after a less than exciting tally posted with July's 119 properties. August posted a wopping 156 new residential properties that went under agreement during the month, edging out the month of June by a mere 2 properties to claim the title as top producing month for the year and continuing with this seesawing trend we've been experiencing for an extended period now. Historic low mortgage interest rates appear to have helped push some folks off the fence and into the local real estate market. Work loads for local real estate appraisers has also spiked with people refinancing and taking advantage of the lower mortgage rates that are now available, coming at a time when the appraisal industry transitions to meet the newly mandated UAD compliance measures of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The volume of pending sales statistics cover the towns of Dartmouth, Fall River, Little Compton, RI, Somerset, Swansea, Tiverton, RI, and Westport. They reveal an increased volume of monthly activity for residential properties that went under agreement from 08/01/2011 through to 08/31/2011 in our local market area serviced by the H3MLS-Property Information Network. The total sales volume in August represented a 31.092% increase over the 119 properties that went under agreement during the month of July. Additionally, pending sales data for the month of August 2011 indicated a 4.28% increase in the median sale price recorded at $218,900. yet a 5.69% decrease in the mean sale price that was tallied at $242,579. With interest rates at such low levels and adequate funding available to qualified applicants, this certainly appear to be quite an opportune time to buy!
