The Gardner Mountain 2nd quarter 2015 market comparison report showed both positive and negative notes in the real estate categories we follow from January 1st through June 30th. When comparing the first half of 2015 to the first half of 2014, we find that the number of sales decreased and so did the list to sale price ratio. However, the median dollar per square foot increased, the median sale price increased and the days on the market went down in 2015 (the time a home is on the market from the listing date to the close of the sale).

Current Market Conditions
As of July 13 , 2015 the Gardner Mountain neighborhood reports 14 homes on the market (active and in escrow) ranging from a minimum of $229,000 to a high of $1,874,950. The basic law of supply and demand is described in real estate terms as the “absorption rate.” Absorption rate (or monthly supply of inventory) are a calculation based upon the rate of closed sales to active listings. It is an accurate way to keep track of market trends. It is considered a balanced market when there is a six-month supply of homes available for sale. This indicates that that there is enough inventory to supply the current demand of buyers looking to purchase. Less than six months is considered a seller’s market and greater than six months is a buyer’s market. As of June 30, 2015 the Gardner Mountain neighborhood is reporting a month supply of 3.4 as compared to 5.2 for the same time in 2014 (-34%).
