Hoboken Condos Sales & Activity – Week of December 1st
A New Low!
During the height of the real estate market units would fly off the shelves as fast as they were listed. Inventory was low and prices were soaring. Sigh… those were the good old days. While the current inventory of condos available for sale is down to yearly low of 406, it may be a bit premature to rejoice and declare an end to the market slump. Sellers know that the weeks between Thanksgiving and New Years are the real estate “Dead Zone”. Buyers and sellers alike are busy with holiday shopping, parties and family obligations, real estate offices are closed for holiday weekends, and Realtors take the opportunity for vacations and a little R&R. January on the other hand is traditionally a pretty strong month for new listings, so expect a bit of a spike in the new year.
There’s another reason for the low inventory number and that is expirations and withdrawals. I believe that the number of listings that are expiring unsold and/or being withdrawn are way up, as are the number of people choosing to rent their units for a year or two and then try selling again when the market has recovered. I can’t do it today, but look for an analysis of this trend in a future HREN blog post. Later this week I’ll post the November results, too.
Here are this weeks numbers:
