January Market Stats


SUMMIT COUNTY MARKET STATS
January 2017

2017 real estate sales are off to a booming start.  In January, Summit County real estate transactions and sales volume totals were well above average. There were 109 residential transactions amounting to $78 million in sales. This represents a 45% increase in the number of transactions, and an 83% increase in sales volume.

Contributing to the drastic increase in sales volume was the number of high-end sales over $1 million. In January, 22 properties sold for over $1 million, compared to just 7 luxury sales in January 2016. The growing number of luxury home sales is also pushing average sales price higher. The three month average of residential sales price rose 19% compared to last January’s average, reaching $675,960. Average price per square foot is up 12% from 12 months ago, to $409 per foot.

The average days on market for residential properties has decreased dramatically since last year, with the three-month average resting at 77 days on market. This is down 54% from last January when the average was 167 days on market. Across Summit County, residential properties are selling for an average of 97% of list price.

The active inventory as of February 1 is 579 properties, accounting for 342 residential properties and 237 homesites. Inventory is down 23% from one year ago, and is down over 60% from 5 years ago.
