Basking Ridge Weekly Market Activity

Jennifer Blanchard — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:04:52 +0000

There were 18 new listings in Basking Ridge this past week: several Spring Ridge and Society Hill townhouses and condos, a condo in The Cedars, a townhouse in Maple Run, two townhouses in The Barons, a townhouse in The Ridge and several townhouses in the Hills. There were only three single family homes listed – a re-listed cape cod at $455,000, a re-listed bi-level at $525,000 and a relisted new construction home in the Tall Timber community priced at $2,289,000.

There were 7 contract sales.

Market Absorption in Basking Ridge is currently 7 months; there are 161 available properties and there have been 23 contract sales in the last 30 days.

A word from Weichert about the home buyer credit and how it is impacting the market:

“The real estate market continues to show improvement as mortgage rates remain at historic lows and consumers respond to the tax credits for first-time and repeat buyers. In fact, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) just announced that its Pending Home Sales Index rose 1 percent from November.

A forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in December, the index is now 10 percent above December 2008. What’s more, December activity was the fifth highest monthly tally in two years. A sale is listed as pending when the contract has been signed but the transaction has not yet closed. Because sales usually are finalized within one or two months of signing the contract, this improvement should result in higher home sales in the coming months.

According to Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, existing home sales are projected to rise to around 5.6 million in 2010, an 8.5 percent increase over 2009. As sales rise and inventory levels decline, housing wealth for many middle class families will stabilize.”
