December Residential Real Estate Figures Close Out A Strong 2011Date: 1/11/2012 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 levelthat was not encouraged by tax incentivesclearly 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 well see another year of slow, but healthy progression in 2012 said Koger. While were 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. Is it the time to buy? Give me a call and let's see!
