Let’s take a moment to see how Portsmouth’s real estate market compares to the same period in 2008. The following statistics are based on the period from January, 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009 and January 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008.

Single family residential listings are a bit off from 2008, which is keeping inventory fairly tight, yet sales volume is down nearly 9% year over year. The average sales price is down nearly 9%.

It is interesting to note that the list price to sales price ratio has remained fairly steady year over year – sellers are receiving roughly 95% of their asking price. Also of note is the shorter average time on market for sold properties.
