Click here to refer the Kinnane Group The uptick in activity that we had realized during the first four months of the year, has returned for the 2nd straight month, after the slow down we saw take place from May through July. In August the local real estate market began its rebound from the late spring - early summer dip in activity. The September numbers show a continuation of this positive trending for sales volume and pricing, despite the fact that mortgage rates have inched ever so slightly upward. This may be, in fact, the very catalyst driving the recent upsurge in activity. It will be particularly interesting to see if this trend in the local real estate market continues or if it is proves to be just a flurry of activity comprised primarily of fence sitters looking to time their purchase in the market. Residential sales volume, coming off August's 170 residential housing unit sales, rose to match this years' monthly high of 188 units that we saw first occurring in the month of April. This unit count includes single family residences, multiple family residences and individual residential condominium units. On the pricing side, during the month of September, the median price of homes rose 2.11% to $239,900, eclipsing this year's high of $238,900. realized back in March. The mean price also continued to rise by 2.29% to this year's new high of $295,923.

Click here to refer the Kinnane Group Our local real estate market rebounded in August from the slight seasonal pause realized in July gaining ground in both categories of volume and pricing. Residential sales volume, coming off July's 153 residential housing unit sales, rose to 170 units in the month of August. This unit total includes single family residences, multiple family residences and individual residential condominium units. We had experienced increases in sales volume each month during this calendar year through to April, with April reaching a total of 188 residential housing unit sales, the largest jump in sales volume month-to-month, up 22.08% over March, and up 88% since January. Since April we've seen a 3 month consecutive drop in volume. August's numbers reversed that trend, gaining back nearly all of the 11.56% drop realized in July. All in all, the year to date trend in sales volume is positive. On the pricing side, during the month of August the median price of homes rose 1.32% to $234,950, just under this year's high of $238,900. realized back in March. The mean price also rose, in dramatic fashion, by 8.87% to this year's high of $289,304.

Click here to refer the Kinnane Group Karen Flaherty of the Kinnane Group closes on two new homes for Abel Hart Commons, Inc, owners of Old Crandall Commons and Bliss Homestead in South Tiverton, RI. Karen coordinated the closing of the last of 14 homes built at Old Crandall Commons and the second of 9 new homes planned for Bliss Homestead. In both instances the parcels were put under agreement with custom designed homes and construction contracts with Dennis Talbot of Talbot Construction of Little Compton, RI. While Karen admits that these transactions take a bit longer to pull togther, she's happy that what results is having been able to be part of the creation of two of the finest neighborhoods in town. Dennis Talbot is not only the finest of people, he's a masterful craftsman, with an eye for fine design, finish detail and a desire to build top quality energy efficient homes. Karen says, "so much effort and time is put into designing the proper house for the specific site of choice for our new homeowners. Floor plans make so much sense and end up being so efficient. How the building orients on the home site and how it compliments surrounding homes is supurb". "Most of the folks we end up attracting recognize our goals for wanting to build smaller homes that are of higher quality materials and that are very efficient in layout and mechanics. These homes afford a higher degree of long term sustainability than most of our competition, translating into lower occupancy costs up front and lower building reserves over the long haul", adds Karen.

Second Quarter results are in for the local real estate market and the results are healthy, indeed. The following statistics take a look at each of the consecutive 2nd quarter periods from 2009 through to 2013. 2009 has been recognized as the beginning of the bottom of our local real estate market cycle. 2013 trends are very positive and hopefully represent the beginning of some sustained growth in sales volume as well as pricing. The following sales statistics cover the communities of Berkley, Dartmouth, Dighton, Fall River, Little Compton, RI, Somerset, Swansea, Tiverton, RI, and Westport as serviced by the H3MLS-Property Information Network, (MLS-Pin). They illustrate quarterly pricing and sales volume, in terms of number of housing units, in total as well as by individual category as either single family residence, multiple family residence or residential condominium. The information is tabulated as follows: Sales Volume: Quarter Ending Single Multi Condo Total % Change 30-Jun-09 445 91 58 594 30-Jun-10 405 113 42 560 -5.72% 30-Jun-11 403 79 53 535 -4.46% 30-Jun-12 500 74 37 611 14.21% 30-Jun-13 528 101 61 690 12.93% Median Price: Quarter Ending Single Multi Condo Overall % Change 30-Jun-09 $ 224,900 $ 185,000 $ 149,900 $ 209,900 30-Jun-10 $ 229,000 $ 169,900 $ 134,900 $ 209,000 -0.43% 30-Jun-11 $ 219,900 $ 159,900 $ 135,000 $ 205,000 -1.91% 30-Jun-12 $ 225,000 $ 144,450 $ 61,400 $ 199,900 -2.49% 30-Jun-13 $ 234,900 $ 155,000 $ 154,450 $ 214,900 7.50% Mean Price: Quarter Ending Single Multi Condo Overall % Change 30-Jun-09 $ 294,985 $ 211,026 $ 184,063 $ 271,292 30-Jun-10 $ 285,018 $ 188,548 $ 170,265 $ 256,945 -5.29% 30-Jun-11 $ 280,140 $ 191,404 $ 188,381 $ 257,947 0.39% 30-Jun-12 $ 285,147 $ 158,316 $ 138,274 $ 260,892 1.14% 30-Jun-13 $ 296,569 $ 187,973 $ 189,244 $ 271,185 3.95% In a month to month analysis of this calendar year we have seen positive trending in sales volume in all categories of housing. For the first six months of 2013 we have recorded a monthly average increase in total sales volume of 10.08%. However, worth noting is that the sales volume has retreated just slightly from the high reached in April 2013. As we reported, April 2013 culminated a 4 month growth trend that resulted in an 88% increase in total housing unit sales volume since the 1st of January. Similar trending in pricing has occured year to date as we have recorded an average increase in median and mean pricing of 4.22% and 2.73%, respectively. A quick analysis specific to 2nd quarter figures shown above for 2009 through to 2013 shows postive trending on all fronts from 2012 to 2013. We see that there has been double digit increases in total sales volume and healthy increases in pricing with the median price rising 7.50% over 2012 and the mean price tallying a 3.95% gain over 2012. While this is all good news for our local real estate market it will be interesting to see if this pace of growth is sustained for an extended period. It will also be important to remain watchful of mortgage interest rates and whether the recent uptick in mortgage rates will push fence sitters into the market or stall out this growth trend. The local real estate market in May remained active, however, it leveled off just a bit. Residential sales volume, coming off April's high of 188 residential housing unit sales, totaled 181 units in the month of May. This unit total includes single family residences, multiple family residences and individual residential condominium units. We had experienced increases in sales volume each month during this calendar year with April reaching a total of 188 residential housing unit sales, the largest jump in sales volume month-to-month, up 22.08% over March, and up 88% since January. The total for the month of May represents 3.72% drop in sales volume. On the pricing side during the month of May the median price of homes held steady, unchanged, at $209,900, while the mean price rose dramatically gaining back all of its loss posted in April and gaining an additional 4.4%, rising to $272,147.

Despite the higher volume of activity posted in April a softening of mean and median sales prices occurred during the same period of time, this after experiencing 3 months of gains in both price categories. During April the median sale price dipped 12.14% to $209,900. while the mean sale price dipped 9.30% to $239,350.
