I am working on a market analysis for a listing appointment scheduled for Wednesday night. The property is a lovely expanded bi-level with over 3000 square feet of living space. Updated bathrooms and a kitchen with a very recent face lift – I am looking forward to getting it on the market! Here is some of the analysis I have done so far.
Bernardsville, NJ Market Snapshot
5 properties under contract since 10/30/2009
88 properties available (as of 11/30)
Overall Market Absorption: 17.6 months
Adjusted Market Absorption: eliminating luxury properties (over $1M): 39 available, 5 under contract = 7.8 months of inventory – not such a bad outlook.
What’s available?
- 15% of the inventory is listed under $500,000 (13/3=4.3 months)
- 30% of the inventory is listed between $500,000 and $1,000,000 (27/2=13.5 months)
- 55% of the inventory is listed over $1M (can’t calculate)
