June market: sales up, price hits high mark
After several months of sales decreases compared to a year prior, June numbers were up both in terms of unit sales and median price. Even so, second quarter and year-to-date data showed sales numbers still lagging behind those of the second quarter in 2016.
Among the statewide highlights:
- Closed sales: The 2,097 residential home sales marked a 3.5 percent increase over June 2016, but second quarter was still 2.5 percent behind last year, and year to date sales (January through June) were 2.6 percent behind.
- Median sales price: The $279,900 is the highest median price in any single month on record at NHAR, and marks a 9.3 percent increase over June 2016. The second quarter median price of $272,500 is a 9 percent increase, and year to date ($264,000) is up 8 percent.
- Days on market: The average days on market in June was 62 days, a 14 percent drop from 2016. Meanwhile, second quarter days on the market dropped 15 percent and year to date was down nearly 14 percent.
- Inventory: There were 6,475 residential homes on the market at the end of June, a 24 percent decrease from June 2016. That meant a 4.4 months’ supply, the lowest June in at least 12 years and 24 percent lower than a year ago. New listings, on the other hand, marked a slight uptick from last month, with 620 new single family homes on the market in June.
