Potomac MD Homes See Dropping Days On Market Measurements

Potomac_md_homes_for_sale_dom
I wrote a recent blog post about Potomac MD homes, to show how the asking prices and inventory levels were trending over the past two years.  However, I failed to discuss how long homes were staying on the market.  So I have dropped in a graph here to take a look at just that statistic.

And as you can see, this graph from Altos Research shows that the DOM was pretty steady from May 2009 through August of 2010, staying between 140 and 160 days, on average.  However, something seems to have happened last fall, and the data really seems to be bouncing around like crazy.  The data points even spiked as high at 210 days at the turn of the year, but since then, it has been nothing but downhill for this particular statistic, all the way to our most recent measurement of 120 days!

Silver Spring MD Homes For Sale Seeing Dropping Days On Market Measurements

Silver_spring_md_homes_for_sale_dom

First, let me apologize if you find the title of this short post confusing.  Yes, DOM is dropping if you look at it from the high measurements taken in January, but they are rising overall if you looked only at last year's level at this point.  What I am trying to do is see where we are trending when we look at Silver Spring MD homes for sale, and whether or not we can expect lower Days On Market measurements, or higher, as we progress through the spring selling season.

The graph above shows a value of about 114 days on average, one year ago, for a home for sale to leave the market.  That number rose all the way up above 150 in January before falling to our most current level of 120, which is reduction of one full month, which is somewhat noteworthy, I would think.

Bethesda real estate chart - luxury homes in Bethesda MD real estate market

Bethesda_luxury_homes_asking_prices
Here is a chart we produced showcasing only the most expensive quartile of homes for sale in the Bethesda real estate market, or what some people might refer to as Bethesda luxury homes for sale.  It is interesting to note that one year ago, the trend line for these high end homes had the median asking price right around $2,150,000 and now, one full year later, that number has grown over $150,000 to over $2,300,000.

I know I keep reading somewhere that we are still in a recession and that housing markets are depressed all around the county, but when I see graphs like this one, where asking prices are actually rising for million dollar homes, it makes me wonder whether some of the so called experts even know what they are talking about.
