Have a look at the year-end 2020 graphs below. It’s very interesting to look at the average price and days on market correlation over the last 4 years. Days on market is flat from 2019 to 2020, after a 20% decrease in both 2017 and 2018. While the average price continues to increase by 23% from 2019 to 2020, after an increase of 11% from 2018 to 2019, and a 10% increase from 2017-2018.
Single Family Homes – 2020
Condos – 2020
Land
Average land prices increased year over year from 2017 – 2020; 15% 2017 – 2018, 17% 2018 – 2019, and 16% 2019 – 2020.
A look forward
“Many experts are predicting another strong housing market in 2021. They are forecasting increased demand from buyers who delayed purchasing homes because of the pandemic; from existing homeowners who need larger spaces to accommodate parents working from home and children attending school virtually; and from condo owners who are seeking to escape multifamily buildings for single-family houses to mitigate exposure to the virus. The ability to tour homes and close on purchases virtually will make buying a home simpler in 2021.”
