For our summer newsletter we always take a look at some of the quarterly statistics, please see some insights below.
Real Estate Insights: Q2 2024
Market Activity Surge: The second quarter of 2024 witnessed a remarkable 43% increase in activity compared to the same period in 2023. Prices also rose across various segments.
Townhomes and Condos: Townhomes and apartment condos saw substantial year-over-year growth, with increases of 23% and 20%, respectively.
Hotel Condos and Single Family Homes: Hotel condos experienced more modest gains, with average sale prices up by 6%. Single-family homes followed closely with a 5% increase.
Inventory and Market Balance: While listing inventory slightly rose, it remains far below a balanced market. With a Months of Inventory (MOI) at 3.55, we’re firmly in a seller’s market. Even a 50% inventory increase wouldn’t tip the scales toward a buyer’s market.
Days on Market: Properties continue to sell swiftly, with single-family homes and lots being the only exceptions, hovering above 2 months. Historically, our averages fall between 2 and 3 months for all segments.
Looking Ahead: Anticipate more listings in August, September, and October. We hope this influx will help restore market balance, as eager buyers await the right properties.

June Bliss: Embracing Summer Joys and Real Estate Insights
June has ushered in glorious weather, painting our skies with stunning hues of blue as we embrace our summer passions. Whether you take a leisurely stroll or opt for a thrilling ride around town, you’ll encounter a myriad of happy faces indulging in outdoor activities like walking, running, hiking, cycling, or paddleboarding. Golf courses bustle with activity, further highlighting the blessings of living in this vibrant community, cherished by both residents and visitors alike.
Reflecting on the real estate market’s performance in the first five months of 2024 reveals a notable strength, boasting a substantial 38.9% increase in total sales compared to the previous year. While this surge surpasses the lackluster performance of 2023, it falls short of the historic highs witnessed in the post-COVID years of 2021 and 2022. A closer examination, considering the five years preceding the pandemic, unveils a modest 3.5% increase in sales compared to the average figures from that period. What’s the takeaway? We’re observing a return to more typical market dynamics, with a slight seasonal uptick in inventory. However, it’s worth noting that a greater inventory could potentially drive sales even higher, given the pent-up demand among buyers eagerly awaiting suitable properties.
Our current “months of inventory” metric remains notably low at just 2.21 months. This metric serves as a key indicator of market health, calculated by dividing the total number of homes on the market by the number of units sold in a month. Ideally, a balanced market typically sees a months of inventory figure ranging between 3 and 6. A figure below 3 indicates a seller’s market, while anything above 6 suggests a buyer’s market.
Considering these market dynamics, now presents an opportune moment to list your property if you’ve been contemplating it. Rest assured, we’re here to provide personalized insights into where your property stands amidst this evolving market landscape, helping you determine the optimal timing for your listing.
Lastly, we deeply appreciate your referrals; assisting friends and family of our valued clients brings us immense joy, and we’re committed to delivering exceptional service to each and every individual we have the privilege to serve.
