Columbus Ohio Home Sales Soar in September

Home sales in central Ohio were up almost 17 percent in September making three consecutive months of home sale increases. According to the Columbus Board of REALTORS®, 1,719 homes sold in September which is 16.6 percent more than the previous year’s 1,474 sales.

In addition to the increase in sales, homes that were put in contract also increased by over 58 percent last month. Year-to-date home sales (January through September 2011) are still trailing 2010 by 3.7 percent. However, as home sales for the last three months have surpassed 2010, the year-to-date sales statistics continue to narrow the gap between this year and last year when the home buyer tax credits were in effect. Affordability conditions have improved to historic highs this as interest rates have dropped to all-time lows and this continues to drive home sales.

The median sale price for home sold during the month of September was $128,000, up from $127,500 in September 2010, but the median sale price is still 3.8 percent behind last year’s average for the months of January through September.

The month’s supply, a measure of inventory that estimates how many months it would take to sell the entire home inventory, fell 17.2 percent to 8.7 percent from 10.5 percent last year.

A balanced housing market for central Ohio is around 6½ to 7 months supply, and the decrease is one more positive sign for central Ohio housing!

The central Ohio housing market was active last month as more homes were put on the market and in contract compared to last year. There were 2,610 homes for sale that went into contract (but haven™t closed) which was up 44.8 percent over the 1,803 homes put in contract during May 2010 according to the Columbus Board of REALTORS ®.As for inventory, there were 3,723 homes added to the market in May 2011, up 10.6 percent from the 3,366 new listings during the same month one year ago.

In contracts and new listings are both important housing market indicators, having such strong increases in both areas is a healthy sign for the central Ohio housing market.

Currently, there are approximately 15,146 residential homes available for sale in the central Ohio area “ 12,322 single family homes and 2,824 condominiums.

Home prices continue to inch up, with May™s average sale price up 2.6 percent over April. However, May™s average sale price of $158,191 was down 4.7 percent from the same period in 2010.

Homes closed last month reached 1,875, up 15.7 percent over April home closings, but were down 25 percent from May of 2010.

May of 2010 was a busy month for home sales as so many buyers were on their way to the closing table after meeting the home buyer tax credit deadline. But sales are up over 2009 when we were in the midst of the first round of home buyer tax incentives which is yet another positive sign.

The cliché says that there has never been a better time to buy.   The hard data in the housing affordability index confirms that.   The affordability index, which takes into account median income, median home price, and mortgage rates, has been bouncing around in the 180 to 200 range since the beginning of this year “ the highest reading since the index was first used in 1971.

Columbus / Central Ohio home sales in March outpaced the previous month by almost 32 percent bringing the total number of homes sold during the first quarter of 2011 to 3,678 according to the Columbus Board of REALTORS ®.

The 1,487 homes sold last month was 31.8 percent higher than the previous month™s sales of 1,128. Year to date sales of 3,678 lag 2010 by 7.9 percent, but are still 6.9 percent ahead of the 2,178 homes sold in the first quarter of 2009.

It’s important  to keep in mind that 2010 home sales were significantly impacted by the second set of home buyer tax credits, by comparison, March closings are actually 9.3 percent higher than homes closed in March of 2009 when the first round of tax credits was available.

In addition, 2,512 homes were put in contract last month touting an 11.5 percent increase over the 2,252 contracted sales in March of 2010.

Homes in central Ohio this year have sold for an average of $143,773, down 3.7 percent from the average sale price in 2010, but up 3.8 percent from the average sale price in 2009. The average price of a home sold in March was $144,975, up 2.1 percent from the previous month ($140,770).

The number of homes listed for sale last month (3,886) dropped almost 22 percent from the previous year (4,972) bringing the total inventory of homes available for sale in central Ohio to 14,370, down 22.3 percent from one year ago.

Home sales follow the simple economic concept of supply and demand, when the supply is higher than the demand, the product, in this case a home, is subject to sell for less. So a decrease in inventory is a positive for our market.

The other positive is, of course, last month™s drop in unemployment to 7.6 percent – the lowest point since January 2009.

There were 2,280 homes listed for sale in Franklin County last month. The surrounding counties of Delaware and Licking saw 316 and 302 new listings respectively.

New report tells the tale of foreclosures in central Ohio

The Columbus Board of REALTORS ® (CBR) has just released a brand new report that provides detailed information on local foreclosure, short sale and bank owned housing activity.

œAs foreclosures have been a concern for the entire country over the last few years, we™re often asked about foreclosure activity in central Ohio “ but it wasn™t available, says Rick Benjamin, 2011 CBR President. œThat™s why we decided to provide this information. Now we can see what™s going on locally with regard to short sale, bank-owned and foreclosed properties as well as see how we compare nationally.

The new Lender-Mediated Properties Report provides an in-depth look at the trends related to traditional and œlender-mediated (foreclosure, lender owned, short sale, HUD and VA) listings sold or put on the market within the Columbus and central Ohio Multiple Listing Service (MLS).

According to the report, lender-mediated listings  are declining. The number of homes in this category dropped 18.9 percent, from 3,372 listings in Q1-2010 to 2,734 listings in Q1-2011. Furthermore, the number of new lender-mediated listings during the first quarter of 2011 dropped 4.5 percent.

œREALTORS ® are seeing a turn-around; fewer distressed homes are being added to the market. The entire country has watched foreclosed properties continue to rise for the past four years. To see the inventory of both lender-mediated and traditional homes decline is a positive sign for the central Ohio housing market, said Benjamin.

During the first quarter of 2011, there were 14,370 homes for sale in central Ohio. Over 11,650 of those listings were single-family homes of which 20.2% (2,358) were considered lender-mediated. Of the 2,700 condos for sale, 13.8%, or 376, were lender-mediated.

The drop in inventory is due in great part to the 46 percent increase in distressed property sales “ from 1,130 sales in Q1-2010 to 1,650 lender-mediated home sales in Q1-2011. Total homes sales last quarter was 3,678, of which 44.9 percent were considered lender-mediated.

Home sales statistics for central Ohio in 2010 showed marked improvements compared to previous years according to the Columbus Board of REALTORS ® (CBR).The average sale price of a home in 2010 was $158,893, just 0.6 percent lower than the average price of homes sold in 2009. However, the average price of homes sold in 2009 was 2.4 percent lower than 2008 which was 5.1 percent lower than 2007.

Our market saw average sale price increases for eight of the 12 months of 2010. As we™ve experienced annual decreases in our average sale price since 2005, we see ending the year just half a point lower than 2009 as a positive for central Ohio homeowners. Furthermore, these numbers are significantly skewed due to the increased number of distressed property sales, including short sales and foreclosure listings. These distressed properties sell on average for 10-30% below market value which in turn is downwardly skewing these  figures, which are likely to jump significantly as the number of defaults continues to decrease and as these distressed inventories are sold off.

The 1,460 homes sold in December 2010 is just 0.3 percent lower than the number of homes sold in December of 2009. Annual 2010 home sales (19,676) finished 2.8 percent behind 2009 (20,235).

There™s no question the home buyer tax credits had a significant affect on last year™s home sales, providing home buyers with a substantial monetary incentive really helped to energize the market in the first half of 2010.

Homes in contract (which are expected to close in January or February) are up slightly from the previous year suggesting that home sales in the first of the year could be strong.Homes spent an average of 90 days on the market, a reduction of seven days from the average time to sell a home in 2009.

In December 2010, the month’s supply of homes was down to 9.93, the lowest since last June. Month’s supply is the ratio of inventory to sales which takes into account both supply and demand. A healthy market has a 6.5 to 7-month supply of homes, meaning if no new homes were added to the market, it would take about 6.5 or 7 months to sell all the available homes.

Home Values  Up 3.8% Year Over Year

November 2010 saw fewer home sales in Columbus and central Ohio than the previous year but showed an increase from 2008. According to the Columbus Board of REALTORS ® (CBR), the 1,325 residential home sales last month was almost 28 percent lower than the 1,839 home sold in November of 2009, but still 15 percent higher than November of 2008.

Sales in November of 2009 were inflated as they reflected buyers trying to close on a home purchase before the expiration of the first 1st-time home buyer tax credit. Although the tax credit was extended (and expanded) in early November, many buyers had rushed to put a home in contract prior to that decision was made to extend the tax credit  deadline.

As November of 2010 and November of 2008 were both months unaffected by a tax credit incentive, it™s a much better comparison.

Homes in contract (which are expected to close in December or January) followed the same behavior as sales “ down from 2009, but up from 2008. There were 1,100 homes put into contract last month versus 1,234 last year and 1,020 in November of 2008.

The average sale price of a home last month was $151,096, up 3.8 percent from the average price of homes sold in November of 2009. Year to date home sale prices in 2010 are showing no change from 2009.

Home sales for eleven of the twelve months of 2010 are slightly lower (3.0 percent) than January through November of 2009.

As home sales have been decreasing annually since the housing boom, the fact that 2010 is no different comes as no surprise, however, what’s different is the previous years showed a much greater decrease for this period – anywhere from -4.2 percent to -13.3 percent. This is actually the lowest decline since 2005. Click here for Ohio home sales statistics

Home Values  Continue to Rise in September

Home values continue to rise which is good news for central Ohio. The average sale price for the first nine months of the year is $161,204 up 7.4 percent from the beginning of 2010 according to the Columbus Board of REALTORS ®.

There were fewer homes listed for sale last month than is customary for September. Over the last five years, there was an average of 3,710 homes added to the market during the month of September. However, last month only 2,997 residential homes were added to the already elevated inventory in central Ohio.

Although slightly lower than August, the total residential listings in September (16,728) was still higher than it™s been since August of 2008 when the inventory level rose to 16,975.

Inventory levels have come down over the last year and a half “ which is what we were working towards. When inventory levels are too high, the increased competition forces some homeowners to sell at discounted prices that are too low which in turn often affects the values of other neighboring homes.

In order to re-balance the market, we either need the inventory to decrease or the number of buyers to increase. And since the tax credit incentives brought many buyers into the market earlier than we would have seen otherwise, we have a smaller pool of potential home buyers to absorb the current inventory.

When comparing sales figures to the previous year, we need to remember that home sales have been elevated since April of 2008 due to the tax credits. Even so, sales are still up four percent year to date.

Nationwide, existing home sales – which are completed transactions that include single-family, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops- were down 19 percent. Distressed homes accounted for 35 percent of sales in September compared with 34 percent in August; they were 29 percent in September 2009.

Sales of newly built, single-family homes rose 6.6 percent in September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 307,000 units, their best pace since June, according to data released by the U.S. Commerce Department.

The median sale price nationwide for all housing types in September was $171,700, down 2.4 percent from one year ago.

According to Freddie Mac, the national average commitment rate for a 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage fell to a record low 4.35 percent in September from 4.43 percent in August; the rate was 5.06 percent in September 2009.

Housing affordability is near an all-time record. Mortgage interest rates are almost half of what they were ten years ago and they™re about one-and-a-half points lower than the peak of the housing boom in 2005. At the same time, home prices are running about 22 percent less than five years ago when they were bid up by the biggest housing rush on record.

 Home sales and Prices up in August

We are happy to report that August home sales in central Ohio were higher than the previous month and the average sale price of a home sold continues to rise.There were 1,605 homes sold in August which is 8.2 percent more homes sold than during the month of July. Home sales during the first eight months of the year are now 9.2 percent higher than the same period in 2009.

While we have seen  a lull in housing activity after the expiration of the  tax credit  this is  not at all  surprising given the frenzy of activity attributed to the generous tax credits for both first time and repeat buyers earlier this year. This upswing in sales is a positive sign that our central Ohio housing market continues to strengthen.

The average sale price of a home has been inching back up this year from $145,993 in January to $169,959 in August. The average sale price year to date (January through August) is $161,645, which is 2.2 percent higher than one year ago.

There were 3,700 homes listed for sale last month bringing the total number of homes for sale in central Ohio to nearly 17,000 which is 16.5 percent more homes than were on the market at the end of last summer.

With interest rates still  at historic lows  housing affordability is at an all time and buyers will likely never see another opportunity like this in their lifetime. Furthermore, the selection of homes for sale  is plentiful and  anyone who has  is interested in buying a home should take a serious  look at what™s available right now.

July home sales not as robust, but home prices are on the rise.

Although the first half of 2010 saw home sales increase up to 39 percent over 2009, July saw a decrease of 28.6 percent in sales.

The expiration of the homebuyer tax credits created incredible activity last spring and we™re not surprised by the natural readjustment of the market over the last couple months.

There were 1,468 homes sold in July compared to 2,047 sales in July of 2009. However, year to date sales (January through July) are still 11.4 percent higher than last year.

Central Ohio™s inventory is on the rise with a nearly 12 percent increase in the number of homes on the market last month compared to a year ago. Almost half of these 16,626 homes are listed for $150,000 or below, and 2,980 of them are condos.

While volume was down, prices were up, if ever so slightly. This is further indication of the market stabilizing and a trend that is expected to  gain momentum  as inventory levels are drawn down.

In addition, last week marked the ninth straight week that 30-year-fixed mortgage rates have met or set a new record low, according to Freddie Mac.

The increase in inventory is the result of more homeowners  seeking to take advantage of  record low interest rates  to move up  as we are seeing a lot of this.  These are also ideal conditions for investment and first-time buyers and we’re starting to see a spike in activity here as well.

Columbus OH home buyers have a great deal to gain from these historically low interest rates. For example, in the 1970 mortgage interest rates averaged 7%, however, 10 years later the average interest rate was 12.19%. To put this into perspective, on a $200,000 home this rate spread would equate to a difference of $755, or a total of $272,131 over the course of the loan!

June home sales in Columbus (central Ohio) continued to improve over last year, increasing by more than 10 percent to 2,315. Not only that but the number of days homes spent on the market and month™s supply are both down.

Despite that, the number of homes in contract slumped to 1,309, a 19 percent decline over this time last year. That said, this is not at all  surprising that in the wake of the home buyer tax credits, prospective home sales have  experienced a decline. What is truly revealing is the other indicators that show the continued growth of central Ohio™s market. The home buyer tax credit pushed demand forward for many homebuyers who rushed to take advantage of this opportunity however, demand is obviously still quite strong due in large part to the fact interest rates are still at historic lows, and home prices are as competitive as they’ve ever been!

Days on market declined 12 percent and month™s supply, a measure of long term inventory, remains sustainable. The average home sale price rose three percent from last year and five percent from last month to $174,522. The listing inventory also shows promise, adding 1,194 homes, an eight percent increase over June of last year.

One of the strongest aspects of our market is its diversity of available homes, there are properties for all budgets and all buyers, from start homes to luxury executive estate homes. That said, more than 9,000 homes for sale are priced $150,000 or lower and the vast majority of the inventory is listed for $250,000 and below.

The first half of 2010 has shown a 20 percent growth over the same time last year in the total number of sold listings and a nearly 26 percent increase in total dollar volume.

Buyers should be aware of the incredible variety of available homes, this, coupled with low interest rates and affordable prices, creates one of the best housing markets we™ve seen in years.
