OVERVIEW

Baltimore Metro Area listing inventory ended January at the lowest level since April 2006, yet new contract activity was 2.5% higher than January 2011. Pricing continued along a stable course with a nominal year-over-year decline but the median sold price for townhouses showed a surprising year-over-year spike of 22.6%.  The market share of foreclosed listings in both sales and inventory continued the previous month’s trend of sharp year-over-year declines. New listing activity continued to decline compared to the same period last year, though there were 16.9% more short sales added in January compared to January 2011.

OVERVIEW

Inventory levels continue to shrink in the Washington, D.C. Metro Area compared to years past, with only 10,095 active listings representing the lowest January level since 2005. Against this backdrop of reduced inventory, the number of contracts signed in January still managed to outpace the five-year January average by a sizable 22.0%. Foreclosed inventory is down sharply year-over-year with 67.2% fewer foreclosed properties for sale at month’s end compared to January 2011. The average sold price per square foot for foreclosed properties in January was less than half the $289 price per square foot level for traditional sales.

Over the years, some of the static reports on RBI have become redundant or outdated as RBI has added new reports, charting tools and interactive heat maps which cover the entire MRIS service area.

 

Effective February 10, 2012, RBI will no longer publish the following reports: Weekly Market Activity, Monthly Housing Supply Outlook, and Monthly Market Indicators. If you publish these on your website, you'll want to update with the new reports highlighted in this blog post which will debut on rbintel.com February 10, 2012. The NAR Quarterly Economic & Market Watch Report, last updated in Q2 2011, will no longer be available online.

 

Archives of all previously published reports will be maintained offline.  In the event you find it necessary to reference a specific report, simply email info@rbintel.com and let us know which report you need.

 

Access to the Interactive Charts, the Detailed and Local Market Insight reports, and the Interactive Heat Maps will continue to be available free of charge to visitors interested in macro statistics covering the entire MRIS service area.
