Are More And More Sellers In Westwood Getting Realistic?

Posted by Scott McIntosh Labels: , , , , , , , ,


If you have been out browsing open houses in Westwood over the last few months, I am sure you have noticed a busier like atmosphere compared to earlier in the year. It's not uncommon to see multiple offers now on homes priced under $1.5, in fact it's almost becoming a regular occurrence. The inventory level has being slowly declining since the beginning of the Summer where we were averaging around +/-80 listings at any one time. Now we are hovering around +/-40 active listings with almost 40 listings currently in escrow. Are more and more sellers being realistic these days with their starting asking price?...that's possible. At least the market data might be supporting that with the relatively shorter market times over the last 4 months. Sellers do have more evidence now of homes that started with unreasonable asking prices and have had to play the reduction game in order to sell, if at all. There obviously is enough buyer demand out there for this neighborhood and the evidence is supporting that if you price it competitively, its going to sell.

If you look below, I have listed all the homes in escrow that have been listed since August 1st 2009 (24) and also homes that were listed since August 1st and have since closed (13). The average days on market for the in-escrow listings is approx. 19 days. For the ones that have already sold, the average days on market is approx. 13 days. That's fairly speedy and reminiscent of the market several years ago.
