Real Estate Market – December Sales And 2021 Totals

Here’s an update on the local market in the Bayou Board of REALTORS® region, showing December 2021 and the Year-To-Date numbers.

Listings fell in December by almost a third compared to December 2020, which is also reflected in the overall trend for Months Supply and Inventory of Homes being lower YoY.

Pending sales were slightly down and closed sales were up 5%.

Both Median and Average sale prices were down for the month, but up YTD.

Speaking of Year-To-Date, New Listings were down 9%, but Pending and Closed Sales were both up.

What Does It Mean?

There is no doubt that we are still in a Seller’s market. There are less homes for sale than there are buyers looking.

If you are a buyer, it means that it may be a little tougher to find a deal. Homes are being put under contract almost immediately after being listed, so working with a dedicated REALTOR® can help you to get you in the home you want.

If you are a seller, this means that there are lots of buyers out there for your home. Things can move quickly! And with the Median Sales Price continually climbing, it makes even more sense to consider selling and harvest your equity appreciation.
