Hanging Your Hat in 08077 - How is the Real Estate Market Doing in Cinnaminson?

How is the real estate market doing in your neighborhood? Let’s take a look!

When comparing September, 2012 to the same month last year, the number of homes sold in Cinnaminson, Riverton, Palmyra and Moorestown increased (48 units sold total), with a median sales price of $277,500, an average increase of $30,000. Homes were listed for an average 119 days prior to sale. 

An important measurement in the housing market is also showing positive signs.

A balanced housing market exists when there are just enough homes on the market to satisfy the needs of buyers for the next six months. Months of supply is calculated by dividing current inventory by current sales and shows how many months would be needed to sell the entire inventory available at the current rate of demand. Happily, in September there were fewer homes languishing with a “for sale” sign in the yard than a year ago, reducing the inventory from 17.4 to 8.6 months of supply.
