Hunt Valley Home Sales Statistics Past Six Months

My compilation of the 21030 real estate market statistics for the last six months are here!  The full chart includes data on sales, contract, and active homes from June 22-December 6, 2009.

What the full chart shows is that prices and inventory really have stabilized in the Cockeysville and Hunt Valley real estate market. There are a few spikes, but in general, the past six months have been fairly even. Prices have actually risen by about 12% in the past 12 weeks compares to the prior 12, but the number of houses going under contract have dropped about 10%.

Consistently, there have been about 100 homes for sale in 21030, while on average only 3-4 of those homes are going under contract each month, and only 2-3 are settling each month.  There is a large inventory for Cockeysville homebuyers, with an average of only about 3% of listed homes going under contract each month.

These 21030 home sale statistics show that pricing correctly, having the home in showplace condition, and good marketing are imperative in this Hunt Valley housing market.

Please note that these are statistics from the multiple list. The chart is an overview of the zip code and does not take into account the type (condo, townhouse, single family) or condition of the home. To have a true value understanding of your Hunt Valley home or Cockeysville neighborhood, these factors need to be taken into consideration.

Baltimore Housing Market Gaining Strength

Yes folks, you read that right, the Baltimore Housing Market is Gaining Strength.

What? What was that? The sound of glass breaking? Crashing to the ground in disbelief?

Well, believe it, and I have proof.

My phone, which, for awhile now, I will admit, I thought only made OUTGOING calls, has been ringing. A LOT. Since MONDAY. The spring-like weather? Maybe. The optimism of the new economic stimulus bill? Very likely!

All I know is that I had a house on the market last year in Hunt Valley that we removed from the market to have the home painted, “stuff” removed, and lay low for a little while. SINCE MONDAY I have received three phone calls — one from a perspective buyer, TWO from buyer’s agents who wanted to know, CAN WE SEE IT? When is it coming back on? (The great house: 11626 Hunters Run Drive – the photos will be updated once I get to take the new ones with the fresh paint, cleared out & staged rooms!)

Contracts are starting to flow in & out of my Timonium Real Estate Office. Baltimore Real Estate buyers are starting to realize that they need to get in NOW while the prices AND interest rates are LOW.

So, yes, I am optimistic and excited. There is SO much opportunity in this Baltimore real estate market whether in the Baltimore City real estate market, or the Towson real estate market, or even in the Timonium real estate market, and I urge buyers to take advantage NOW!
