The month of September started out with a bang on the Coastside as a wave of new supply hit the local real estate market. An increase in the supply of new homes is not unusual as prices rise as the have on the coast. The number of homes active or pending this month increased a whopping 33.3 percent to 236 homes from 177. Months of available inventory increased an even greater 48.5% as the seasonal slowdown in closed sales volume in September generated less sales activity to offset the increased supply. In spite of the increase in homes on the market, well priced homes continue to move briskly. According to data provided by MLS listings data, the median number of days on the market for a single family home on the coast is still a low 19 days, persisting a trend we have seen all year. Prices also remain strong especially in the sub $800,000 price range resulting in a stronger median sales price in September, up 5.3% over the previous month. All in all, the market on the Coastside remains healthy as the dominant sellers market continues to moderate creating a more balanced environment where buyers have more choices and well priced homes sell quickly.
