WEEKLY MARKET PULSE
by Chris Sanders, Client Market Advisor
August 5, 2015
Collins Group Realty is pleased to provide you with this week’s edition of Market Pulse; a quick overview identifying a few of the local real estate “highlights”, in an effort to bring your attention to some of what specifically hit our radar last week…
HOTSHEET SUMMARY FROM LAST WEEK:
- LISTINGS: 113 listings were added to our local markets last week.
- CONTRACTS: 106 residential properties moved to pending status last week.
- CLOSED SALES: 89 closed sales were reported last week.
Home listings under $500,000 were the most active category last week accounting for 79% of all the pending sales.
Although no listings in the $1,000,000 and up category went under contract last week, an oceanfront home in North Forest Beach CLOSED for $2,900,000. This was the highest reported sale in Forest Beach since 2010!
Collins Group Realty brokered 10% of ALL the single family homes that went under contract last week in the Hilton Head and Bluffton markets.
As inventory begins to tighten up in some areas of Southern Beaufort County, we have recently noted a few interesting scenarios that can be a reflection of an improving market, such as more seller requests for “highest and best” offers (due to competing contracts), and the average Days on Market has been gradually trending down.
As always, thank you for choosing Collins Group Realty as your local real estate resource. Our team of professionals is available for you 24/7, and we are always honored and appreciative when we receive your referrals. Please call us anytime we can be of service or research a specific property or area just for YOU!
