Sept. 1, 2024
The number of sales across all categories was also down over last month, and last year. What did sell, sold at a lower average sale price over last month and last year. Townhomes fared the best - that decrease was pretty negligible, with the average price of a townhome staying fairly steady throughout the year. We've been saying it all year - townhomes will be the leader in 2024.
With September comes back to school and new beginnings. We're seeing a lot of price adjustments as sellers get serious about selling their home before winter. Sellers can continue to expect subject to sale offers; where this gets tricky is when it runs a few deep, meaning the buyer goes in with a subject to sale, gets an offer on their home with a subject to sale etc. Some potential buyers with homes listed are now preferring to wait for their home to sell before they buy.
We saw 44% more condo inventory in August 2024 vs August 2023. But that did not account to more sales. Sales volume was down 23% over August 2023 and 34% over July 2024. Pricing is also down.
Although we saw a slight dip in townhome inventory in August, the number of townhomes on the market has steadily increased. The average price of a townhome has held fairly steady all year, proving that the townhome category is leading the market in 2024.
