Listings Down, Sales Up in November
Ann Arbor Condo inventory continues to shrink, but this didn’t slow sales in November. For the month of November there were only 30 new listings, compared with 42 in November 2016. So far this year, there have been 679 new listings, down 8% compared with 738 this time last year. The number of condo sales rose from 44 to 53 during the month, an increase of 20%. However, year-to-date sales are struggling to match last year with 589 units sold, down 6.5% from 630. Residential home sales also rose during November, making it a busy month for all Ann Arbor real estate.
What does this mean for the future of the Ann Arbor condo market? If listings continue to decline, there will be less and less to choose from for the strong pool of buyers. This will drive the sale prices upward as buyers compete for properties, as we have seen this past year. The average sale price for condos has risen 12%, from $227,217 to $254,502, so if you’ve been thinking of selling your condo, now is a great time. Wondering what it’s worth?
