June 2012 Real Estate Market Update - Residential

33 properties sold in June 2012. That's 8 more sales than last June, which is great! I had mentioned previously in other blog posts that this is the most active real estate market since 2008. Well, we are now on a better pace - best year-to-date since 2007. Lakefront prices are at their most affordable prices since 2004. All in all, it's been a great year so far.


Let's take a look at the rest of the stats:

There are 62 homes under contract right now (57 last month).

The average list vs. ORIGINAL sales price was 86.69% - (last month 84.91%).

The ADJUSTED list vs sale price was 92.58 (last month 88.33%).

The current # of active/for sale listings in MRIS (minus timeshares) is 685, up from last months 662. We have a 20.76 month supply of homes available (minus timeshares) based solely on the June sales numbers - that's as low as i remember it for quite some time!

Random observations:

•6 'newer' homes sold in June (5 years old or less)

•It appears that 20 or so of these sales were vacation homes

•18 homes sold at/under $300,000 (last month was 12)

•21 homes sold under $400,000 (last month 15)

•1 homes sold over $ 1 million (0 last month - 1931 Lake Shore Dr sold for $1.849)

•4  home(s) sold for higher than full price or at full price (last month was 2)

•One house sold for 57.58% of asking price - 8956 Oakland Sang Run Rd

•The oldest home that sold was 58 yrs old (72 Mels Rd)

•The average age of the homes that sold was 27 years (33 last month)

•4 condo/townhouse/fractional properties sold (3 last month)

Here are the statistical breakdowns:

Average Sale Price: $364,821 (last month $312,571)

Average Days on Market: 252/283 (last month 147/224) (days on market with current broker/total days on market)

March Real Estate Update - Deep Creek Lake & Garrett County. MD

The warm weather of March helped to improve the residential real estate market at Garrett County and Deep Creek Lake! There were a total of 16 sales (versus 14 for the same period last year). The stronger spring I spoke of last month has started to take shape. There are 44 contracts compared to last months 33.

7 of the 16 sales were considered Deep Creek Lake area properties, the rest appear to be primary residential.

The average list vs. ORIGINAL sales price was 69.5%, down 10% from last month. The biggest part of this number is the high listing numbers that sellers start with. I blogged about this last month, and it's a national trend that is very real - EVERYTHING has adjusted in price. It's a tough pill to swallow, but homes are not worth what they were 2-3 years ago. That's a HUGE reason why some properties won't sell - they are overpriced.

The ADJUSTED list vs sale price is 90% - up from last month. Once the market reacts and adjusts to prices & competition, the Realtors who assist in pricing property can adjust the asking price of properties for sellers who are willing & able to react. This number is a very telling stat - it shows that we are starting to narrow in on the price points for the local real estate market.

The current number of active/for sale residential listings is 605 as of today. This is up from last month (575) and will continue to grow as the spring and summer continue. Slowly but surely, our absorption rates are normalizing.


Here are the statistical breakdowns:

Average Sale Price: $404,031 (last month)$309,200

Average Days on Market: 220/275 (last month 164/296) (days on market with current broker/total days on market)

Residential Market Stats that Matter - Railey Realty Still #1

In a sales meeting this morning, our manager Nancy Trotta went over the latest residential market statistics for the Garrett County area. The numbers are amazing, and I wanted to share some of the highlights:

There are currently 33 properties currently under contract between $55,900-$1,989,000. Of those contracts, Railey Realty has 18 of those homes under contract - 55% of the market!

Our next 3 closest competitors have 8 contracts COMBINED. Their individual market share ranges from 6%-9%, respectively. I believe that this demonstrates why I chose to make the move to Railey Realty last month - more market share and the ability to still sell homes even in the current market conditions. Our results speak for themselves!

And it's not just contracts - our listing inventory is nearly double that of the next closest competing broker. We have 239 homes currently listed and more on the way. For the best selection of real estate listings, again, we are #1 in Garrett County & Deep Creek Lake!

iLoveDeepCreek.com Blog!





BIO
My name is Jay Ferguson, and I am a lifelong resident of the Deep Creek Lake area of Maryland. I enjoy spending time with family & friends, and have two wonderful children, Kayleah & Noah. My wife Jessica and I really enjoy the outdoor activities and natural beauty of Garrett County and "Mountain Maryland".

Deep Creek Lake isn't really a town or city by itself; it's comprised of three towns: Oakland, Swanton & McHenry. I am very proud of my 'hometown' and am in awe of the changes through the years. So, it makes sense that I began a career selling real estate here in December 2000. It allows me to meet new & exciting people from all over the world who consider Deep Creek Lake a great vacation spot.

I recently switched to Railey Realty, who has been #1 in Garrett County & Deep Creek Lake since 1995! I'm looking forward to teaming with some great agents who I have worked with throughout my career. I started my career with Long & Foster Real Estate, and have received many terrific honors & had many memorable experiences there. I won the 'Rookie of the Year' award for sales in 2001, my first full year in the business and sold over $3 million in real estate. I have been a member of the coveted Gold Team (annual sales of $5+million) ever since, just last year earning the Hall of Fame designation. I have been fortunate enough to have sold nearly $50 million of prime Deep Creek Lake & Garrett County real estate in my career! The best part of all, is I spend my time doing what I love - telling people about Deep Creek Lake's thriving real estate market, and all the wonderful places to enjoy the outdoors with their friends & family!

I really enjoy promoting my hometown and I am very proud of the resort area that has developed over my lifetime and look forward to growing the area even more! Deep Creek Lake has been described as 'The Lake Tahoe of the east', and I think that speaks volumes about the potential to own property here!

The best to place to find more information about local businesses, current events & recreational opportunities is to visit my website @ http://www.ilovedeepcreek.com. My blog is updated much more frequently and I primarily use this as a portal to my other advertising sites, including Active Rain. Check it out - I think you will be impressed!

Specialty
I specialize in Deep Creek Lake vacation home sales and also primary residential and lot/land listings in Garrett County, Maryland. I've sold everything from commercial properties to large family farms and small recreational tracts of land. I really enjoy working with new clients and introducing them to the good life - owning real estate in Garrett County & Deep Creek Lake, Maryland!
