Market Trends Redwood City real estate June 28, 2013

June continues like it has all year for Redwood City real estate. Homes sell faster, inventories keep dropping, and homes sell over asking price. Months of inventories remained steady at 3.2 months. The price per square foot is still above the $600 mark and the average sale price of a home remained over the million dollar level.

The average selling price (ASP) for homes sold has stayed steady hovering around the $1.050M since the end of March. Last week we saw the ASP slightly up to a level of $1,034,540.

The total number of new listings, including transaction falling through (TFT), and back on the market (BOM) homes was 20.  While the number of homes with pending sales, or ones who had removed all their contingencies and were ready to close escrow was 16 homes. Closed escrows homes number was 12. What is interesting is there were NO short sales and only 1 REO’s offered for sale last week. The underwater homeowner seems to have faded away in Redwood City.

The future trend for the average price per square foot looks like it has broken through the $600 ceiling and doesn’t show sign of going down.

Home buyers are looking for value when buying, including a home in good conditionSellers however want the highest price, in the shortest time, with the least hurdles. It looks like these needs are being met because home buyers and sellers are agreeing on price and terms, and homes are continuing to sell.
