Market Update

For the monthly period ending July 15, we are currently recording a sales $/SF of $185.57 averaged for all areas and types across the ARMLS database. This is up 2.6% from the $180.80 we now measure for June 15. Our forecast range mid-point was $185.02, with a 90% confidence range of $181.32 to $188.72. The actual result was within 55 cents of the mid-point forecast. In other words, closed prices turned out to be very slightly stronger than we anticipated.

On July 15 the pending listings for all areas & types show an average list $/SF of $193.48, up 2.6% from the reading for June 15. Among those pending listings we have 98.5% normal, 0.9% in REOs and 0.6% in short sales and pre-foreclosures. These are little changed from the percentages we recorded last month.

Our mid-point forecast for the average monthly sales $/SF on August 15 is $190.30, which is 2.6% above the July 15 reading. We have a 90% confidence that it will fall within ± 2% of this mid point, i.e. in the range $186.49 to $194.11.

Over the next month we expect to see a similar large increase as we saw over the last month. with far more luxury homes in the sales mix and prices accelerating again in the ranges under $600,000 where supply is even lower than in June. This means that home price appreciation is currently an order of magnitude higher than general retail price inflation.
