Sandy's housing market slowed sharply in September, though the median home price rose to $705,000 from $648,000 a year ago. Median days on market jumped to 55 from 21 in August, and a year ago it was 28. With 296 homes for sale against 51 closings, buyers hold the edge. Homes sold for about 97.6% of list price, and 20 of the 51 closings took a price cut first.
Market pulse
Supply has changed more than prices. Listings rose from 180 in April to 296 in September. Closings fell from 93 in April to 51 in September. Speed changed most: the median home took 14 days to sell in June and 55 in September. New listings eased to 103 from 130 in August, so sellers are starting to hold back. In White City, four homes closed at a median $545,000 after a median of just 1 day.
Mortgage context
Sandy's September sales split almost evenly. Eighteen closed between $400,000 and $700,000, at a median $548,500, and 27 closed above $700,000, at a median $825,000. Buyers financing the upper group feel the 7.5% rate most. The 30-year climbed 0.375 percentage points over the past 30 days.
Payment math
Financing Sandy's $705,000 median home with 20% down costs $3,944 a month in principal and interest at 7.5%, which is $144 more than the $3,800 payment at 7.125% thirty days ago, and $409 above April's low, when rates averaged 6.42% and the payment would have been $3,535.
If you're buying
Look at homes that have sat past 55 days, since that is now the typical wait and sellers of those homes are the ones cutting prices. Under $400,000 is slowest: six sales took a median 80 days at $333,500. White City is the one area with several quick sales, so expect competition there.
If you're selling
Your home is one of 296 listings, and buyers paid about 97.6% of list price in September, so price at the start rather than cutting later. Twenty of the 51 closings took a price cut first. If you want to know what your home is worth, check what similar homes closed for in the past 60 days. The median list price of $682,450 is now below the $705,000 median sale price, so asking prices are not running ahead of closings.
Outlook
October through December usually brings fewer tours. With six months of supply at the current pace, expect longer waits to continue. Rates at 7.5% add pressure on buyers, though fewer new listings could keep supply from building much further.
Watch for
If new listings return to the 130 a month seen in August while closings stay near 51, active listings could pass 350 by winter, and sale-to-list could slip toward 97%.
"Sandy's quick summer ended with a slow September and a longer list of homes."
