For the year ended August 31, 2012, 84% of listings sold compared to only 45% for the year ended August 31, 2009. Year ended August 31, 2009: - 6,221 single family listings, 3,221 sales = sales-to-listing ratio of 52%. - 6,501 condo listings, 2,530 sales = sales-to-listing ratio of 39%. Year ended August 31, 2012: - 5,495 single family listings, 4,685 sales = sales-to-listing ratio of 85%. - 4,530 condo listings, 3,744 sales = sales-to-listing ratio of 83%. 2. Pricing Trends and Improving Sales Prices The overall median sales price of residential property--combining condos and single family homes--increased 7% from $136,000 in August 2011 to $145,000 in August 2012. Moreover, for every single family and condo price point for the 12 months ended August 31, 2012, the median sales prices remained stable to increasing for the entire year. 3. Number of Properties Sold Year-over-year sales of condominiums and single family homes have surged every month since April. During the last two months, single-family home sales experienced increases of 23% and 15%. In the last month, condominium sales increased 22% 4. Days on Market Most industry experts believe a six-month supply is balanced inventory. Among all the single-family and condominium sales over the last year, the median days on market of sold properties ranged from only 119 days to 143 days, or between four and five months. "Every single one of these indicators points to an improving market. If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the lowest possible price, you’d better get busy, because prices are inching up, and the “steals” are disappearing," For more details on the Myrtle Beach and Grand Strand real estate market, contact Kay Van Hoesen at http://www.certifaxappraisals.com/ See all charts and graphs at http://www.certifaxappraisals.com/ End
