Market Trends Redwood City real estate June 21, 2013

The month of June continues to perform like it has all
year. Homes sell faster, inventories keep dropping, and homes sell over asking
price. Last week we saw 18 new homes and 44 homes removed from the
market. Months of inventories were 4.0 months. The price per square foot
is still above the $600 mark. The average sale price of a home maintains
above the one million dollar mark.

Redwood City homes newly listed for sale; stay
the same as last week number of 18. Housing’s months of inventory for
home buyers continues to trend down, which means there are fewer homes to
choose from for home buyers in Redwood City.

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 $1,078,861.

The total number of new listings, including transaction
falling through (TFT), and back on the market (BOM) homes was
19.  While the number of homes with pending
sales, or ones who had removed all their contingencies and were ready
to close escrow was 23 homes. Closed escrows homes number was 21,
which was the same for the last 3 weeks. What is interesting is there were NO
short sales or REO’s brought to the market. The underwater homeowner seems to
faded away in Redwood City.

The sale price to list price ratio (SP:LP),
was up from last week’s to 104.5%. May 2013 ended at 107.5%, April ended at
106.3%, March ended at 101.3%, and February’s ended at 101.3%. January ended at

The average number of days for a home to sell
in Redwood City was 17 up by 2 days from last week’s 15. The lowest 7 days in
2013 was 11 days during  April 26-May 3.
The beginning of 2013 started out with taking 56 days for a home to sell. Homes
are still selling quickly. Advice: If you see a home you like today, buy it! If
you don’t tomorrow may be too late.

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 under it. The price for last week was $606 down $9.00. 2013 sq. ft.
prices were: May; $611, April; $558, March; $599, February; $571, January;
$565.00. 2012 ended at $455.00.

Home
buyers are looking for value
when buying, including a home in good
condition. Sellers on the other
hand 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 being sold.
