The following is the Pacific Palisades Market Update from Miramar Coastal Properties:
Sold Properties by Month
In the ‘Sold Properties by Month’ category, we are down from last year 20%, which isn’t surprising based on the current marketplace, although, that adjustment only accounts for a difference of five homes from last year’s figures. The median price is really quite close to last year’s report, coming in at $1,837,500. Last year the median price was $1,725,000. That $112,500 shift up in median price is nice but really very comparable to last year’s. Our marketing time is similar as well, last year we reported homes stayed 78 days on the market, on average, compared to this year’s 84. This year’s inventory is off by 20% and the price up slightly. The average ‘days on the market’ change is really insignificant. So, this year, fewer properties are selling at a slightly higher price; taking six more days to sell on average.
Under Contract Properties by Month
This category too remains almost unchanged from last year. We are down from last year 3%, but that only accounts for one home sale difference from last year; incidental at best. Last year there were 31 homes under contract compared to this year’s 30. Where we are seeing a significant shift is in the median price of the homes compared to last year. This year’s median price is coming in at $ 1,697,000 compared to last years $2,095,000. That shifts the median price down $398,000 from last year, weighting the market toward the slightly less-expensive homes, on average. The marketing time this year has shortened too. Last year we saw home s on the market, on average for 68 days compared to this year at 48, taking the marketing time down by twenty days. So this year the homes going under contract are less expensive by nearly $400,000, on average and are enjoying a shorter marketing time.
