Executive Insights The Summer Heat is Turning Up Summer is full of images of friends, family and fun. In regards to the real estate market, summer is traditionally the time of year that sees a huge level of activity, especially in the Bay Area. In June 2016, this tradition of increased summer housing activity continued and is showing no sign of cooling off any time soon. Picking up where the month of May left off, for-sale listings were up in every part of the Bay Area except San Francisco. In most areas, listings were up double-digit percentages as sellers were putting their houses on the market in droves. These increases are considerably lower than we saw in April when the summer-selling season was ramping up, but they’re significantly more than we saw last month. Even with the increased level of listings, we’re still smack dab in the middle of a seller’s market. June saw the most properties sold in the last three months. In fact there was 24.15% more Bay Area homes sold in June (2760) then there was in April (2223). This is keeping prices high and drying up inventory very quickly. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues into the later summer months of July and August. Even with this seller’s market producing closings at a steady clip, we did see an interesting move last month in relation to the days on market (DOM) for sellers. We saw a neutral trend in the DOM for six of the nine regions of the Bay Area with several area’s DOM up by 28-37% month-over-month. Now these numbers may be inflated due to an ultra-competitive market in May, but it’s something we’ll be keeping an eye on as listings continue to increase across the region. So June showed us that sellers are still in control of Bay Area real estate. A strong job market and more buyers than listings is keeping demand high and still getting sellers multiple offers at over asking price. Will this trend continue? More than likely it will, at least through the end of summer. Beyond that will be interesting as interest rates continue to stay low through the end of the year and we get closer to a change in the White House. We’ll keep you informed with our take and hopefully provide you with information that can help in your buying or selling process.
