There are currently 1538 homes listed for sale in our multiple listing service. We are selling homes at a rate of about 122 a month. A buyers market is defined as more than 6 months of home inventory. It is definitely a buyer’s market as we currently have about 12 months worth of inventory. With that said each neighborhood and price range is unique
Feel free to call or email me if you would like to have a customized absorption rate or a Comparable Market Analysis for your property. Home sales in each neighborhood can vary greatly.

The New Bern weekly Real Estate Report

I hope everyone had a really nice 4th of July. There were 18 homes sold from Monday, July 1 to Friday, July 7th. Below is a link to the homes that sold.
http://www.easternncmls.com/new/maildoc/roscoe_1373069707-Jul-05-2013-8_15_07pm.html

It is encouraging to see some higher end homes finally selling. So far in 2013 we have seen 64 homes over $300,000 sell. Lets see how that compares to prior years.

2012-61
2011-56
2010-57
2009-68
2008-112
2007-146
2006-171

Wow. No wonder we have seen it take so long for homes over $300,000 to sell. Looks like we have a severe lack of buyers in that price range. Also adding to the problem is the tendency for professionals to rent instead of buy, particularly if they know they will only be living here a few years. They are scared to get caught owning a home they cannot sell.

Currently there are 338 homes for sale over $300,000. At the current absorption rate it will take 5 years to sell all the homes for sale over $300,000. Of coarse all homes and neighborhoods are different, so it is possible that yours might sale in a few months.
