February Market Report

2015-02-12T09:21:00.001-08:00

Good Morning!

While the outside temperature may be at freezing right now for the Outer Banks, our market is smoking hot! Well at least when it comes to activity.
Chew on this – From Nags Head to Corolla, there were 98 homes that went under contract in January. Of those, 34 have been on the market for 60 days or less and 24 were on the market for 30 days or less. That means 24 homes that JUST came on the market in December or January and are already under contract. Another great note, 6 of those 98 are deals I put together! I’ve been very busy so far this year and am working hard to keep it going. Even though the data reports that closed transactions for January shows a 13% drop from January of 2014, that is really an indication of activity from November and December. It will be very interesting to see the difference in closed transactions for this February over last year. So that covers activity…I know, you’re thinking about value and price now. Take a look at the chart below. While activity has had its ups and downs, price has really flat lined. That’s actually expected after a market crash as devastating as we had.

Year	Units Sold	Percentage Change	Median Price	Percent Change	Active Listings	Median DOM	Months Supply
2011	1,333		$284,500
2012	1,596	20%	$285,000	0%	1726	226	12.98
2013	1,574	-1%	$273,500	-4%	1714	222	13.07
2014	1,604	2%	$280,000	2%	1733	213	12.97

Let me know how I can help.

If you’re considering buying and found a house you love, take action before it sells! If you’re thinking about selling, there’s NO reason to wait. Buyers are ready! Also keep in mind that we are a resort market. Most buyers and sellers don’t HAVE to buy or sell. It’s a discretionary purchase, so it’s normal for our market to take longer to recover.

Check out the Breathtaking Sound View!

Ilona Matteson's 2015 Outer Banks Real Estate Market

2015-01-12T12:41:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year!

I’m Ilona Matteson with Beach Realty on the Outer Banks. I’m very excited about 2015. This will be my 19^th year in the real estate business and boy have things changed since I started back in 1996.

A few predictions for the Outer Banks market this year are:

All financial experts are saying that we will see interest rates go up this year. They’ve said it before and even though rates are still in the 4% range, that is up from the best rates we had at 2 and 3%.
Condition will continue to be the number one factor for buyers. I’ve seen buyers time and again bypass location to get a home in better condition at a lower price.
Prices will continue to stay where they are because of extraordinarily high inventory rates. Right now we have a 20 month supply of homes for sale on the Outer Banks. The basic principle of supply and demand dictates that prices cannot rise in conditions like this and, they could still see some slight decreases.
Most homes will take on average over 200 days on the market to sell. That’s mainly because they will go through 2 to 3 price adjustments before selling. If you’re going to put your home on the market in 2015, you have to be competitively priced if you want to sell quickly.
I predict that we will see more properties sell this year. I think buyers will act before interest rates go up again.

If you have any plans to buy or sell on the Outer Banks this year, or know anyone who is, please let me know how I can help you. My goal is to assist 40 buyers and sellers this year, and I hope you’ll be one of them!

Thanks for watching and have a blessed day!
