Just The Facts for Moorestown Real Estate - On the Right Track

June Real Estate Numbers for Moorestown
Moorestown Real Estate Data - June 2007 vs June 2008

Homes listed for sale: 48 vs 37
Homes sold: 28 vs 25
Days on market: 86 vs 110
Average sale price: $627,996 vs $597,148
Average list price: $660,608 vs $570,127

The first 6-months are now behind us and what a challenging period it has been for the real estate market. In Moorestown we have seen our ups and downs, but they are not as pronounced as some other towns in Burlington and Camden Counties. For that matter even other parts of the country. As you can see by the numbers we had fewer homes listed for sale in June then we did last year. This is good news for the overall supply of homes since the new construction market has practically disappeared in town. Demand for homes was relatively flat to slightly down while the days to sell a home continue to trend up. These three trends combined with the realignment of pricing continues to indicate our home market is getting back to normal, but is still at a fragile state. As a Seller continue to price your home accurately in a changing market and understand there is still plenty of supply (as of 7/5/2008 there were 213 homes for sale in Moorestown and an inventory accumulation of 14). As a Buyer realize that if a home is priced accurately there are people out there looking to purchase and it just might sell by the time you think the market has hit the bottom.

Just The Facts for Moorestown Real Estate - Making Up Ground

May Real Estate Numbers for Moorestown
Moorestown Real Estate Data - May 2007 vs May 2008

Homes listed for sale: 61 vs 59
Homes sold: 16 vs 26
Days on market: 138 vs 93
Average sale price: $603,562 vs $456,234
Average list price: $655,006 vs $729,106

I get asked are we at the bottom of the real estate correction fairly often. Of course this is very difficult to do. One may call a bottom, but in reality it could be a fools rally. Well, I maybe a fool, but I do believe we are getting close to the bottom. The only challenge I do see on the horizon is the employment rate and shrinking bonuses usually awarded to employees. The combination will continue to stall the economy and potentially allow other issues to surface such as a slower Commercial real estate market and a second round of mortgage issues. Thankfully in Moorestown our lows are never as bad as those in other towns given our strong school system, few development opportunities and a higher than average income level.
