4th Quarter Average Price Up 3.6%
The average apartment sale price reversed direction in 4Q05, posting a
3.6% quarterly increase. The average apartment price rose to $1,128,500
compared to $1,090,000 in 3Q05. The rise in average sale price represented
a 22% increase over the 4th quarter of 2004.
Sales Volume Held Steady
During the fourth quarter, the MMJ Sales Volume Index went
virtually unchanged from third-quarter's levels.
Inventories Are On The Rise
Available inventories listed for sale continue to rise,
hitting an estimated 8,675 listings, up 26% from third-quarter's level.
This shift is giving buyers more say and time in their decision to purchase.
On the other hand, with a large pipeline of new supply coming on the market
in 2006, prices could come under pressure. We will be watching this closely.
