OVERVIEW. Good News – Bad News. Based on a strong ending to 2009 , the data continues to re-affirm the possibility of sales activity stabilization yet continuing price deterioration in Windham, NH on an annualized basis. Looking at the data historically relative to Number of Homes Sold, Median Sell Price, Median Home size, Median Sale Price per Sq/Ft and DOM ( Days on Market) it shows :
- 2005 - 201 homes sold, $457,000, 2,664 sq/ft, $171.54 sq/ft, 56 – DOM
- 2006 - 169 homes sold, $505,000, 2,934 sq/ft, $172.12 sq/ft, 95 - DOM
- 2007 - 152 homes sold, $487,450, 2,962 sq/ft, $164.56 sq/ft, 105 - DOM
- 2008 - 142 homes sold, $450,000, 2,886 sq/ft, $155.92 sq/ft, 108 - DOM
- 2009 – 136 homes sold, $400,000, 2,799 sq/ft, $142.90 sq/ft 106 - DOM
Thus, although the number of homes sold ( sales activity) appears to have possibly stabilized ( 136 vs 142) - the Sell Price dropped almost 8.5% in 2009 ( $142.90 versus $155.92 in 2008). Naturally, deeper analyses amongst specialized price ranges will yield varying results.
FOURTH QUARTER COMPARISONS. Comparisons during this particular quarter reveal encouraging signs. During the Fourth quarter of 2009, 41 homes were sold at a median price of $400,000. With a median size of 2,624 sq/ft this computes to $152.44 per sq/ft Selling Price. Comparatively, during the Fourth quarter of 2008, only 35 homes were sold at a median price of $385,000. With a median size of 2,901 sq/ft this computes to $132.71 per sq/ft Selling Price. Thus the data shows a 17% increase in homes sold and almost a 15% improvement in Sell Price from the Fourth quarter of 2008.
LOOKING FORWARD. During the First Quarter of 2009 – 22 homes were sold at an Median price of $416,000 and 2,830 sq/ft in size. That computed to a Sell Price of $141.06 per sq/ft. ( It should be noted that the First quarter was the lowest relative to homes sold and Sell Price per sq/ft during 2009. ) . At the current time ( 1/6/2010 ) there are 101 homes for sale in Windham versus 123 at the same time last year. Also, at the current time, there are 23 homes under agreement which is encouraging from a Sales Activity standpoint. However – at a potential median Sales Price per sq/ft of $131.54 or lower – there are continuing concerns relative to Sales Pricing in Windham, NH. Therefore, (overall) continuing Good News – Bad News ??? Only time will tell. Keep posted.
