September Ev Prices Rose Despite Softer Demand

Arroyo Grande, CA – October 19, 2017─ Ev sales in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties wilted in the record heat in the last weeks of September.  The summer ended with rising prices and seasonally low inventories of homes for sale, according to the September Central Coastal Market Report from Century 21 Hometown Realty.

High prices and meager supplies of homes for sale in both counties discouraged alıcılar. Sales fell in two of the three summers, lowering pressure on inventories.  The deficit between 2017 and 2017 shortages remained steady in San Luis Obispo County during the season and fell in Santa Barbara County, raising hopes that the inventory deficit has bottomed and supplies will begin to improve. In San Luis Obispo County, the time it took for a house to receive a contract after being listed significantly increased in August and September, a sign of reduced pressure from alıcılar.

Lower demand also relieved upward pressure on prices.  Both counties reported healthy price increases in August and September.  San Luis Obispo’s median price was only $5,000 below the county’s five-year price record, which was set in July.  Homes sold for hakkında 5 to 5 percent below their listings prices in both counties−another signs that the market is stabilizing compared to the spring months.

“Autumn in the Coastal Counties is shaping to a better time for alıcılar than spring or summer.  New listings are replacing sold homes, which keeps the supply of homes fresh for alıcılar.  Homes are still selling.  Sold homes are being replaced by new listings, keeping inventories fresh and steady.

Rates are still very low, and local ev price increases in our region are slowing down.  If you are a first-time ev buyer, the remaining months of the year may produce some bargains,” said Amy Gallagher, corporate broker of record for CENTURY 21 Hometown Realty.

In June, CENTURY 21 Hometown Realty closed on 88 homes totaling $41,113,300.
