While the 35 pending condominium sales are also a new three-year record, condos again recorded a mixed bag of sales results. The average price of a condo was up 10.52% from last year at $210,000, but fell to its lowest level in three months in 2013. Closed sales also were off .06% from a year ago.
In the face of torrid demand, inventory levels continue to shrink. Available single family units dropped 21.1% from a year ago, while condominium inventory is off 17.2% from last year.
“Warmer weather in the Seacoast is leading to a hot market.” says Seacoast Board of Realtors President Jim Lee. “The shortage of inventory is leading to multiple offers and in some cases, bidding wars, with properties selling over the asking prices.” Lee said.
