 The number of homes listing in February jumped 138% from the previous February.

There were 31 single family homes listed for sale in February compared to just 13 last February. That’s a 138% increase from the previous year.  This is good news for our inventory staved market. And more inventory means more options for buyers.  

Months of supply jumped 195%. But even with that large jump there is still only 1.18 months of supply on the market. Well below a healthy real estate market.  

Days to an offer was only up slightly, going from 21 days last February to 24 days this February.  

And, even with the higher interest rates side lining many buyers the median sales price was up 2.33 % to $375,000.

January 2023 versus January 2022 year over year comparison.

Current Listing Data

Inventory, or should I say lack of inventory continues to plague the single-family housing market in Fall River MA. Last year there were 27 new homes listed in January, this year 25, both years being well below the normal inventory levels. The median list price in January 2022 was $399,900, this year it was $429,900, up a little over 7% with days on market doubling to 60 days.

Pending Data

The median list price for pending sales was $374,000, in line with last January’s numbers, however the year over year days to an offer doubled to 38 days.

Sold Data

The number of units closed in January was down 26.7%, with a median sales price of $380,000, up just 1.9% from the previous January with days on market being just 23 days. What is interesting to note that the list price to sells price ratio that was 100% in January 2022 has dropped to 96.7% in January 2023.

Summary
This information shows in interesting trend of more time on market for homeowners. Going from just 23 days for sold listings to 38 days for pending listings and 60 days for still on market listings. There is also a large price difference between the median pending prices and the new inventory list prices. This maybe one reason why the added length of time on market for current listings as buyers wait for sellers to make price improvements.

Of course, all real estate is local, and this data is for all of Fall River, so let me know if you want to know more about what is happening in your neighborhood and if you like these updates, please like, and subscribe so you can stay in the know.

This is your market in a minute for multi-family homes year end 2022 in Fall River MA.

Lack of inventory continues to plague the Fall River multi-family housing market with 2022 seeing a reduction in the number of multi-family home listed for sale by 20% from the previous year further fueling the pricing appreciation.

The average selling price for a multi-family home jumped almost 19% from 2022 to $524,000 with an average price of $157 per square foot.

Fewer listings, coupled with higher interest rates, resulted in the number of closed transactions dropping 26.5%, from 468 in 2021 to 344 in 2022.

Months of supply, although still strongly in the sellers' market jumped 85% to 1.5 months' supply over the previous year.

It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out in 2023 with raising rates and lenders tightening financing coupled with low inventory.
