Crofton MD Market Statistics - January 2010

As you can see in every sales category, Crofton MD did extremely well comparing January, 2010 to January, 2009.

Sales volume and units sold increased 205% and 160% respectively. The base is low, making it difficult to determine an accurate market assessment based on units alone. While the increase year over year was significant, Crofton typically sells around 20 homes per month, on average. Winter months are always difficult to project because of severe weather fluctuations and relatively low number of sales.

Several other indicators can help to see what's going on in the Crofton, MD real estate market. The average days on market decreased -47% year over year. On average, in January 2010, Crofton homes for sale were taking about three months. Not bad and an indicator that the market is beginning to trend towards sellers. The average list price for homes sold also increased a respectable +13%. This was unexpected since there is still a good deal of first time home buyer activity in the market now.

Another significant data point is the Average Sale Price as a % of Average List Price. Higher percentages favor sellers. As you can see there was a significant increase in this indicator year over year. Crofton, MD bargain basement shopping is slipping away, if it was ever really here.

Nobody is going to dispute that the Crofton MD real estate statistics for January, 2010 were fantastic. Sustainable, is another story. Most agents I talk to do see the Crofton MD market getting better, but not to the degree that we saw last month.
