October Home Sales report for Southern Maine

0 comments

The month ending October 31st 2008 saw little change from current market trends in the Southern Maine real estate markets..Â On average the transaction volume remains down 10% from a year prior and average sold prices are 10-15% off last years numbers.Â However on a month over month analysis the average pricing appears to have leveled off.Â This past month saw a significant increase in days on market averages for 3 out of the 4 counties followed pointing towards a slow road ahead.Â Significant decreases in inventory levels did occur as well this past month as parties traditionally take their homes off the market for the coming winter season.

Thus far in 2008 the South Portland Maine real estate market has seen 272 properties sold at an average transaction price of 255K after sitting on the market for 62 days.

Contrasting this with what is currently on the market:Â 159 properties: 108 single family with an average asking price of 298K and 51 condos with an average asking price of 230K one can see that the asking prices in this market are a bit too high and thus contributing to a significantly longer days on market for current listings: 222 for condos and 91 for single family homes.
