Abq Home Sales Flat

November’s detached single family homes sales in metro Albuquerque were flat as compared to November 2016. Sales were down from October and homes took five days longer to sell, though the average sale was three days faster than a year before.
The Greater Albuquerque Association of Realtors released the November sales report yesterday.
November saw the sale closed for 826 homes, 144 or 15% fewer than during October. The sale of 821 homes closed during November 2016.
Homes sold during November after an average of 51 days on the market.
Average and median home prices have been fairly steady the past six months. However, the November average price—$237,089—was up 8.4% or almost $20,000 from a year before. The median price—$199,650—increased $16,650, or 9.1%, from November 2016.
Pending sales, a leading indicator of sorts for sales closing the following month, were 917 during November, a 24.4% jump from November 2016. Pending sales were down 133 units, or 13%, from October. The decline can be assumed to be mostly seasonal.
