MARKET SUMMARY
“Seller’s Market” Continues into the Spring with Very Low Home Inventory
Overall and relative prices increased significantly; some variability across submarkets
NEW LISTINGS
By Price Range
Listings declined over 20% in Q1 driven by homes priced under $1M; Homes priced from $1.5 –$2M remain up over the last 12 months
While January new listings were down 40%, each month moving forward declined less
Listing activity expected to pick up with seasonal trends, but remain low near-term
Rolling Last 12 Months (YoY%)
Northeast submarket was higher during the quarter (only 3 listings more), but all other areas were down
All areas continuing to show declines during the last 12 months (including 2 of 5 submarkets at historical lows)
Each submarket now below 85 new listings over the last 12 months
CONTRACTED HOMES
Contracts were down 25% during the quarter mostly driven by homes priced $500K –$1M
Only 1 contract for homes <$500K during the quarter (often near land value); homes priced $2M+ are still higher over the last 12 months
Contracts will be limited until new listings begin to show increases
Contract activity was lower across all submarkets in Q1, except Central East (flat)
Central West chart-topping increases began in 2019 and continued to mid-2021 before large declines (down the most over the last 12 months)
South Hinsdale has consistently lower overall home activity over time
CLOSED HOMES
Closed homes were down 30% in Q1 driven by lower closings below $1.5M
Very difficult to close on a home for under $500K (averaging less than 1 per month); closings for homes below $1M currently at historical lows over the last 12 months
Closing activity expected to follow decline in listings / contracts with low home inventory
Closed activity was mostly lower during the quarter; Northwest and Central East were slightly higher (South was flat)
West submarkets had the most closings during the last 12 months; Central West saw 45% more closings than any area
South Hinsdale is about half or less of any other area over the last 12 months
HOME INVENTORY
Available homes declined nearly 30% on already very low inventory
Overall home inventory is down nearly 85% from March 2020
Limited inventory expected to continue driving “seller’s market” conditions
Mar. Trends (Relative%)
Home inventory is down materially across submarkets; all areas were lower
All submarkets currently have 10 homes or fewer available
Low inventory expected to persist over the coming months
CONTRACT TIME
Days between listing date and contract signing varied by price range, but time overall was a little shorter
Homes priced $1M –$1.5M took much longer in Q1 than last year while homes from $1.5M –$2M contracted in only a few days
Overall contract times remain short, but dependent on price range and situation
Contract times were mixed in Q1 with Central West much longer and Eastern areas plus South much shorter
Northeast submarket was very quick during the quarter at under a week
Only the North submarkets have not increased over the last 12 months (both flat)
PRICE DISCOUNTS
By Price Range
Closed price discounts tightened some during the quarter; homes under $500K continue to sell for the largest discounts
Homes priced $1.5M –$2M sold at full price in Q1, but all other ranges had a discount
Price discounts expected to remain narrow due to limited home availability
