The Sewalls Point market report for August 2012 remained pretty static compared to the spring when we had much greater activity.  There is still a fairly high inventory of Sewalls Point homes on the active market, though with 16 pending sales, this number should decrease if these sales close.  Then it will depend on whether or not more home owners decide to sell their homes or not.  The demand for well priced Sewalls Homes is strong, unfortunately demand for many homes in the higher price ranges is just not there at the present time.

Comparing the results to August of 2011, the inventory higher this year as there were only 37 homes on the market last year, pending sales numbered 13, and there were 4 sales from $325,000 to $819,000.  Considerably better numbers last year. Hopefully the Sewalls Point real estate market will show some better activity in the coming season.

The Sewalls Point market report for July 2012 remained pretty static compared to last months numbers with the exception of one less home for sale.  Whether this is a sign of the sold listings or sellers waiting for the season to sell, remains to be seen.   One high end home sold for $2,900,000 last month and the other four sales ranged from the 300’s to the 500’s price range.  Both pending and sold numbers remain unchanged from June.

Comparing the results to July of 2011, the inventory slightly higher this year as there were 52 homes on the market last year, pending sales were 15, and no homes sold.  Considerably better numbers this year as the Sewalls Point real estate market is showing signs of a rebound.

There are currently 61 active listings (a decrease of 5 homes for sale from February)

12 Residential sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval (An increase of 3 from February)

3 Homes sold in February (Unchanged from February)

Better results for the Sewalls Point market report. Inventory has gone down a little (5) to 61 homes while sales remained slow at 3 closed homes and pending sales were up slightly to 12 homes. Compared to other parts of martin County which continue to have fairly strong results, the Sewalls Point market is a bit sluggish, but showing activity is high and I suspect we should have increasing sales in the next few months. The Sewalls Point price point remains high for many of today’s buyers and this is possibly what is causing the slow activity at present.

Comparing the results to March of 2011, the inventory is basically unchanged as there were 60 homes on the market last year, pending sales were 11, and 2 homes sold.  Basically the same as last year.  The Sewalls Point average price point remains high for many of today’s buyers and this is possibly what is causing the slow activity at present.
