Market Reports |
 |
by Patrick Carlisle, Market Analyst for Compass Bay Area September 2022 In early August, we mentioned agents reporting that buyer activity – renewed interest in getting back into the market, visits to open houses, and so on – was picking up due to a number of issues: Price reductions, less coipition, the drop in interest rates, and the dramatic recovery in stock markets. And a small rebound in SF sales did show up in August data – sales usually tick down in August from July – though volume was still well below last year. Across the Bay Area, year-over-year, home-price appreciation rates and overbidding statistics have continued to drop, and days-on-market to climb. In August, the number of new listings coming on the market was lower year over year, and the number of active listings for sale declined, though still significantly higher than last year. There is usually a dramatic jump in new listing activity after Labor Day: In fact, September is typically the single month with the highest number of new listings, which then fuels autumn sales. As of early September, interest rates have increased again and stock markets declined once more: They continue to see substantial sort-term volatility and it remains difficult to confidently predict their future movements and effects on real estate markets. The next major indicator of buyer and seller psychology and market dynamics will be what occurs during the next 2 months of autumn selling season, prior to the mid-November to mid-January holiday slowdown, typically the slowest market of the year. Our reports are not intended to convince you regarding a course of action or to predict the future, but to provide, to the best of our ability, straightforward information and good-faith analysis to assist you in making your own informed decisions. Statistics should be considered very general indicators, and all numbers should be considered approximate. How they apply to any particular property is unknown wi though a specific comparative market analysis. Click the above image or here for to view the entire report. |
