The Summit County residential sales market is up a solid
15.5% with the North Side of the county at a 21% gain and the South Side at an
8% gain. The number of properties for sale is currently down about 16%.
What is interesting is that the number of properties
under contract today is the same as last year at this time - well, we have 1
more property under contract this year! Also the same, is the average sold
price year to date for the county is $510k in 2011 and 2012. In fact, the
South Side of the county is the same as last year as well with both years
having an average sold price of $624k. The North Side is currently at a 2.5%
improvement in average sold price.
Last year at this time the average asking price of the
county’s residential properties for sale was $728k and this year that average
is $705k - down 3%. If one looks at the average list price of the properties
that are under contract today and assumes that they will continue the trend of
a 94.5% sold price to list price ratio that we have today the $510k that
we are at today will not change much by year end.
