Local Real Estate Market Outperforms itself in March!

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.

Likewise, in January we saw both median and mean selling prices post significant drops when compared to December 2011.  However, during the month of February we saw that the median  price moved up to $184,900, increasing 8.77%  from the month earlier.  Additionally the mean sale price rose by  4.86% for the month tallied at  $201,003.  Taking its lead from the month earlier the local real estate market in March, again, saw increases in both median and mean sale prises, rising 2.07% and 24.10%, respectively in each category.

These sales  statistics cover the towns of  Dartmouth, Fall River, Little Compton, RI,  Somerset, Swansea, Tiverton, RI, and  Westport. They reveal monthly activity for  residential properties that went  under agreement from 03/01/2012 through to  03/31/2012 in our local market area  as serviced by the H3MLS-Property  Information Network.
