Easton Addition Market Update - August 2011 - Seller's Market
All indicators are pointing to a seller's market in Burlingame's Easton Addition. There have been 32 single family homes sold through August, as compared to 45 at the same point last year. This decline has been driven by a lack of inventory, rather than lack of demand. The number of new listings is down more than 25% from last year. End of month inventory of Easton Addition homes for sale has been at or below 10 since May, compared to last summer when at one point there were 21 homes for sale at the end of the month. Less available inventory means that buyers have more competition and have to act quickly when new listings come on the market.
Movement in price levels is difficult to measure in a small neighborhood. Most fluctuations of average or median prices are due to random changes in the type of home being sold, rather than actual changes in prices. However, when looking at price per square feet, Easton Addition homes have been been holding firm at nearly $650 a foot. Also, the ratio of the sale price to list price has averaged 99% in 2011, versus 97% in 2010. This suggests that fewer buyers are successfully negotiating contracts much below the asking price (this statistic does not factor into play the original list price of homes that were price reduced and then sold right away).
The average days on market -- a measure of how long a home has been on the market from list date to sale date -- has declined from 47 days in 2010 to 35 days in 2011.
