Real Estate Market Activity, November

Last month, we had some negative news to go along with some positive. To start off, you’ll see that sales went down throughout the entire region, though Clay County fared better than others. So, we are seeing a bit of a holiday slowdown. The positive news is that sales prices continue to climb while inventory has remained low. This has kept Clay County’s absorption rate at 5.38 months—giving the advantage to sellers. So, if you’re looking to list and sell quickly, I would take some time, enjoy the holidays, and start talking to a REALTOR in early January, before we see an influx of homes coming on the market for spring.

Clay/Ray Counties
Clay/Ray County sales were down for the month by 17.1% from 2012. Units were at 214 versus 258 last year. Year to date, unit sales are up 5.9%, with 3,901 units this year versus 3,685 last year.
The average sales price for the month was up 13.9% from last year, with an average price of $162,850. Year to date, the average price is up 9.2%. The average price is $159,452, versus $146,009 last year.
New listings were down 38 units to 336 or 10.2% from last year’s 374 units. Inventory is down 3.3% from last year and is running at 1,802 units. Inventory is down 62 units from last month.

Platte County

The average sales price for the month was up 13.5% from last year, with an average price of $213,078. Year to date, the average price is up 6.6% from last year. The average price is $203,655 versus $191,094 last year.
New listings in Platte County were up 7 units to 160 or 4.6% from the 153 units last year. Inventory decreased 2.6% from last year and is running at 798 units. Inventory is down 38 units from last month.

Joanna jumped into the real estate business in 2000 and never looked back. A glance through her resume would have anyone confused because she’s actually never left the company with which she started. Change in the market and changes in ownership and locations have filled her 13 years in the real estate world. Change is a scary word for some, but Joanna has embraced it with courage and made the decision to not only survive, but to thrive. To break it down Prudential Snook was sold to Prudential Carter-Duffey in 2006, which was sold to Prudential Kansas City in 2009, which then rebranded themselves with a new franchise (Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate) in late 2012. Her personal motto is ‘Consistent Pursuit of Improvement’, which is clear in her dedication to her company, people and local real estate association.
