2012 May 9th

The Weekly Wednesday Wrap-Up – Hoboken Condo Sales and Activity for the Week of May 9th, 2012

What’s up with Inventory?

Week after week, we have seen the inventory of Hoboken Condos for sale inching up and down, but never leaving the lowest levels that many long-time observers can remember.  Week after week, I draw your attention to the fact that–following the rules of classic Free Market theory–this low inventory (supply) must inevitably drive up prices (demand) and, in turn, eventually lead to an increase in supply.  If you’ve been studying the numbers in the weekly, monthly and quarterly reports that we produce, you have seen the discount rate falling, the days on market falling and–recently–an increase in the frequency of properties going for more than their asking price–the visible symptom of multiple offers leading to bidding wars.  So, you may ask, why do we see no meaningful improvement in supply?
Certainly, there are seasonal factors at work.  If sellers with children have the opportunity to choose, they will not move during the school year, so a bump up in inventory may come in June.  But I see a less obvious factor at work in the market  on a daily basis:  the amazingly high percentage of sellers who are listing properties at prices that are lower than the price they paid.  Before people are going to be tempted to sell their homes in response to an ‘improving’ market, that market must promise them–at least–the likelihood that they will recoup their costs.  Until then, the only people selling will be long-time owners whose basis pre-dates the ‘bubble’, or people who are forced to sell by external forces–job re-location, divorce, etc.
The low cost of money–historically low interest rates–is great for home buyers, but does little to compensate sellers who are under-water.  You may consider this a “sellers market”, but I don’t think you will see a significant increase in inventory until prices rise further.  The Free Market at work.
