How many homes closed 2,000 square feet or more week 33. So many people are looking for more space.  Can they find it in the price range they are looking for?  We will get into that shortly.

New listings of single family homes were pretty consistent with the week before.  256 this week compared to 251 the week before.  We would love to see more, but consistency is good.

Closed single family homes this week were also, not far off of last week.  299 this week compared to 291 the week before.  Next week is the last full week of the month so they should increase.

FHA and VA financing

Seller’s are still choosing Conventional financing over anything else.  I am encouraged to see FHA numbers going up.  Some buyer’s that have to go FHA have given up.  They are tired of losing out to buyer’s using Conventional financing with multiple offer situations.

Out of 299 homes that closed this week 191 of them were 2,000 square feet or more.  Median list price is $425,000, closed price is $420,000.  Minimum list price $220,000, closed price $242,000.  So many people are looking for more space since the pandemic.  This gives you an idea of what price that will cost you.  If you are below this price it will be hard to find.  You might need to adjust the criteria for the home you are looking for.

There were no short sales accepted by seller’s this week.  Most people that are in a bind, and need to sell do not have to go through the short sale process with the prices that have increased.

Seller’s accepted contracts that are contingent on the buyer closing on their current home.  5 with a kick-out clause of 72 hours, 4 with 48 hours and 3 with 24 hours.

Also, seller’s accepted contracts that are contingent on the buyer selling and closing on their current home. 2 with a kick-out clause of 72 hours, 8 with 48 hours and 2 with 24 hours.

There was 1 that did not have a kick-out clause that they marked.  So we don’t know about that one.

We started out the year with closings from 2020.  They received a contract in 2020 but did not close until 2021.  That is why the closed column is more than the new listings.  You can see it has been a really tight market.  Normally you would see more new listings than closings.

It still remains a seller’s market.  There might be fewer offers with multiple offer situations, but there are still a lot of buyer’s out there ready to go.

There has been an extreme shortage of housing across the country.  Some new homes have been built in our area that have helped.
