Charleston SC Real Estate Blog: Charleston SC December 2011 Monthly Housing Indicators
There's no way to be certain what 2012 will bring. However, a few things do seem clear enough to make some assessments. First, 2011 was not the recovery year it was expected to be. It was yet another “transition year” for most. Second, multi-decade low mortgage rates and suppressed home prices coalesced to form an attractive purchase environment. And buyers did just what their name implies. This has driven down inventory levels in many locales, which—thirdly—nudged the market balance toward equilibrium. Here's how the final month of 2011 concluded the year.
New Listings in the Charleston region decreased 16.4 percent to 812. Pending Sales were up 37.3 percent to 710. Inventory levels shrank 20.6 percent to 6,904 units, extending the signature trend of 2011.
Home prices finished the year on an up note. The Median Sales Price increased 3.7 percent to $186,664. Days on Market increased 12.8 percent to 123 days. Absorption rates improved as Months Supply of Inventory was down 26.0 percent to 8.6 months.
Ultimately, the upcoming spring market should be a major tell about the future direction of housing. Sellers are seeing multiple-offer situations; buyers are seeing sub-4.0 percent loans; supply-demand trends are more balanced. When it gets down to it, that's a stable foundation and a far cry from 2009. While the fundamentals are better, the foreclosure situation and political unknowns remain wildcards. For now, enjoy the fresh canvas.
December Residential Real Estate Figures Close Out A Strong 2011 Year to date numbers show sales growth, relative stability in median price
CHARLESTON, SC—(January 10, 2012) Posting the strongest December sales figures since 2006, the Charleston-area residential real estate market closes out a year of steady sales growth and celebrates the arrival of several positive indicators.
According to preliminary figures released by the Charleston Trident Association of REALTORS® (CTAR), 785 homes sold at a median price of $186,050 in December. This represents an increase of more than 100 sales and median price growth of just over 2% when compared to last December.
However, the best news lies in the year-to-date figures. The Charleston area will close out 2011 with at least a 6% increase in closed sales and a difference of just 3% in median price from 2010. “We anticipated the slight decline in median price, with the amount of distressed inventory in our market” said 2012 CTAR President Herb Koger. “However, seeing sales growth at a sustainable and healthy level—that was not encouraged by tax incentives—clearly demonstrates that there are buyers who understand the value of owning a home in the Charleston area” said Koger.
In 2011, 9,276 homes sold in the Charleston area, at a median price of $181,573. In 2010, 8,767 homes sold at a median price of $186,423.
“When we look at the positive indicators that developed throughout the year—growth in sales, relative stability in median price and a declining inventory—we see an extended period of positive movement and growth in our market, which leads me to believe we’ll see another year of slow, but healthy progression in 2012” said Koger. “While we’re on the right track, we may continue see some price softening as we keep working through our distressed inventory” he added.
Inventory continues to decline, with 6,904 homes listed as actively for sale in the MLS.
A final year in review report will be available next week on the Association’s website and Facebook page.
November Adjustment Preliminary numbers reported for November 2011 indicated 648 homes sold at a median price of $191,500. Adjusted numbers now show 663 sales at an increased median price of $195,000.
BERKELEY COUNTY With 194 sales at a median price of $169,702 in December, the residential real estate market in Berkeley County added to its impressive year-to-date totals.
2,219 homes sold in the County at a median price of $162,450 during the year—a 5% increase in sales and slight 2% decline in median price compared to 2010’s 2,112 sales at a median price of $165,457.
In 2011, the most active area of the county was bordered by Jedburg Road-Highway 17A and College Park, with 523 sales at a median price of $156,290. The most affordable area of the county is Cross/St. Stephens/Bonneau, where 71 annual sales resulted in a median price of $69,000. The most expensive area continues to be Daniel Island, where 250 homes sold at a median price of $407,500.
CHARLESTON COUNTY December figures completed a year of healthy sales growth and the ongoing correction of prices with 429 sales at a median price of $222,500.
Increasing affordability in Charleston County led to a market-leading 9% growth in sales during the year. 4,961 homes sold at a median price of $220,000 in 2011, as compared to 4,566 sales at a median price of $233,750 in 2010.
As the largest geographic area in the county, Mount Pleasant saw the largest number of closings in 2011, with 1,457 homes sold at a median price of $311,173. West Ashley (outside I-526 to Rantowles) was next, with 688 sales at a median price of $179,532. Sullivan’s Island is home to the most expensive property in the County, with 37 sales resulting in a median price of $1,335,000. The most affordable area of the County is North Charleston (inside I-526) where 199 homes sold at a median price of $57,000.
DORCHESTER COUNTY 128 homes sold at a median price of $151,750 in December, closing out a year of stability in Dorchester County.
Year-to-date figures show a less than 1% variance in sales and median price. In 2011, 1,778 homes sold at a median price of $160,000. In 2010, 1,794 homes sold at a median price of $159,125.
The Summerville/Ridgeville area was the most active, as well as the most expensive area of the County in 2011, as 820 sales resulted in a median price of $168,395. St. George/Harleyville was the most affordable region—46 sales at a median price of $84,200.
